Wezzit?

[ChrisJC]

Could be Gwynfynydd I suppose - I've never looked at the proper entrance for fear of getting told off.


Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Not Prince Edward or Gwynfynydd.

 

[ChrisJC]

By a process of elimination - how about Clogau?

Chris.

 

[ChrisJC]

Which means the original pic must be St. David's mine.

Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Yes, correct on both counts.

Tom Ferry can't enter as it's his photo!

Tom Ferry can't enter as it's his photo!

Chris.

Oh am I allowed ;-)

 

[ChrisJC]

Hahahaha, Tom put you up to it has he! NO - not allowed! (well, I can't actually stop anybody!)

Chris.

 

[tomferry]

There are some members on here who definitely no this !

 

[ChrisJC]

Clearly a bit obscure. Here's a more iconic picture - courtesy Tom again!

 

[Fulk]

Hmmm . . . not much less obscure, given the response?

 

[ChrisJC]

I am surprised. OK, this picture is the top of the shaft.

 

[Ian Ball]

It's a mine so I'm out.

 

[Pitlamp]

It has some similarities with the remains at Crag Foot (Warton Crag) but the trees are wrong and the building look to be in disrepair. (Just saying; this isn't a serious suggestion here!)

 

[ChrisJC]

There are only a small number of engine houses with chimneys still standing. It's not in Cornwall or Devon.

Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Flipping heck. It's Hafna. Not been underground there, but that's a stonking pumping shaft in the previous photo.

 

[ChrisJC]

Not Hafna!

Close though.

Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Oops. Llanrwst Mine. In which case I have been there. Was about 25 years ago, mind!

 

[ChrisJC]

Correct! Back to you Robin.

Llanrwst is a gem of a place. Rarely trodden when you get up into the higher levels (deep adit level for example).

And Endeans Shaft is spectacular, as Tom's photo illustrates.

We have no idea what that tripod was for either. Never seen anything like it elsewhere.

Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Best do a cave one. Just in case people get restless.
