Urban Exploration Photography This extensive pit working was located on the lower west slopes of Moel Tryfan, south of Rhosgadfan, and was part of a cottager-quarryman landscape. It began as a small site that expanded rapidly during the 1880s, following rail connection, with 81 men producing 1880 tons in 1882. By 1898 236 men were employed. Material was taken by tunnel to a substantial mills area where guillotine dressers are believed to have been used, unusual in this area. The quarry produced a variety of coloured slates. Finished product went down a long incline to the Bryngwyn drumhead (SH49765609). Water power was used though mill steam engines were installed as an auxiliary to water power. De Winton locomotives were used. A cableway and rail system was used here but was superseded in 1966 by Matador dumper- lorries, with their good off-road performance. Latterly, when workings broke into the adjacent Alexandra quarry (NPRN 400656) material from that quarry was reduced in the two Moel Tryfan mills. The quarry continued working on a small scale into the 1970s. The site has since been much disturbed by bulkfill operations and the tunnel has gone. Extensive traces of the mills area survive along with the quarter mile-long incline.

Exploring an abandoned quarry Dorothea Quarry commenced working in the early 1820s, though there were a number of smaller workings on or near the site before this. By 1848 it had become the dominant quarry in the area, employing 200 men and producing 5000 tons of finished slate. Production peaked in 1872 at 17442 tons. In the 1930s over 350 men were employed at Dorothea. Production dropped significantly after the start of World War II and the quarry closed in 1970. Since quarrying ended in 1970, the Dorothea Quarry has flooded and become a popular site for scuba diving (even though there are no facilities provided, and diving is officially banned in the quarry); the unregulated nature and depth of the site has encouraged some divers to overestimate their capabilities – in the decade 1994-2004, 21 divers lost their lives in the quarry

Porthdinllaen, is a small coastal village in the Dwyfor locality on the Llŷn Peninsula within Gwynedd, Wales, located on a small promontory, and historically in Caernarfonshire. It is near the larger village of Morfa Nefyn. Porthdinllaen was originally a fishing port, based around a natural harbour at the west end of a bay over a mile and a quarter (2 km) across, and with over one hundred acres (40 hectares) of safe anchorage. The harbour is sheltered by a headland jutting out to the north from all but a north-easterly wind, and as the only such haven on the Llŷn Peninsula, it has been used for many centuries of trading, and as a place to run to for shelter in a storm.
