More on the mine bulilding.

Well you seem to like the shot of the old mill I posted the other day so I thought I would post some more about it. I don't know what possessed me to write mill, when it is in fact a disused mine building! The area of Trefriw is well known for woolen mills, so that fact must of stuck in my head. So on doing a little bit of research the area has lots of metal mines dotted all over the place and this particular site was probably an old lead mine.
Most of this area is owned by the forestry commission and these buildings are made safe and left to nature.
The photographs of the mine building were taken on hike number two this year, if you want to read more about it Click here. There is a short video and the mine building is in that video at the beginning, not the best quality but better than nowt.



If you look at the photos, you will see the words 'Danger' and 'Keep out' which I obviously ignored when wondering through the place with my camera. I would not recommend anyone else to do that, as you never know when you could slip to your doom down a mine shaft.
