[Pic 10] Cwm Machno Quarry - Mill and Tunnel (Aug 1982)

Another double view - on the left is the water wheel pit that was at the eastern end of the internal mill (now totally gone) and on the right is the tramway tunnel through the high walled rubbish route to the external mill. By the 1980s this tunnel was very unsafe and it also disappeared with the landscaping of that era.

High up the site is this neat shallow roofed structure with large coping slates - Wal or Caban ?

[Pic 12] Cwm Machno Quarry - Upper incline drumhouse (Aug 1982)

At the summit of the previously mentioned incline (that drops to the Trwnc inclines drumhouse level) is this fine drumhouse. This is just one of a group of inclines serving the upper workings - the highest one having a very basic drumhouse with low walls and no roof.
