Big memories for me. Spent so much time there as a kid, 1970s - 80s. Thanks for sharing

We certainly could have spent so much longer looking around, it's an amazing site to explore! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍

Thats a cool spot. I like the construction of the buildings. Everything looks super sturdy and its still in really good shape. The camera work was awesome in this one.

It's surprising considering most of the buildings are just bits of slate piled up without any mortar that they are still standing so well.. Such a great place to explore, we must return to see the rest one day. Thanks for watching and commenting, Stu is always trying to improve his camera work lol. 😁

That looks amazing. Why such a beautiful site of industrial history has not been restored or at least preserved in a better state is beyond me. Definitely on my must-visit list. lovely video.

There's places like this scattered all over Wales, it's quite incredible to think of the amount of mass industry that was going on back then and that they just walked away from it all.. We're back in North Wales next month in the hope of exploring more places like this 😀

What a really interesring exploration,i love old industrial ruins.

This old quarry and village was amazing! We're back in Wales next month and really hope if we get time to get back to it and find more of the abandoned houses and buildings! 😀

Thank you for the tour at this site today. A real step back in time. Always enjoy your videos. See you on the next. Cheers Em & Stu and your son! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

With a bit more time and skill (than I certainly had) this would be an amazing place for photography.. There's abandoned quarries like this all over North Wales! Thanks for watching 👍

Lovely place, been a couple of times with a mate that lived in the area, he passed away in January sadly and had all sorts of knowledge regarding the slate industry. Those “steam pumps” at 6:00 are actually the boilers that provided the engine house with steam, the big beam engine was used to pump water via a big pump (like a massive plunger in a tube, powered by the back and forth motion of the beam engine) and kept the workings clear. The lakes you see now, actually used to be deep pits where they extracted the slate and I believe the local diving club now uses them, they’re incredibly deep. It looks like a lot of the old engine house has collapsed since my last visit about 9 years ago. The second building you visited Is, I believe, the tank room that fed the boilers with water, the tanks obviously long since removed. If you do another visit, head past the engine house to the woods at the back, there are the ruins of Talysarn Hall, which is very interesting, with the ruins of a small stone chapel being engulfed into the trees and ivy, if you know where to look there are also the remains of ornamental gardens for the hall and an old ornamental fountain close by. Well worth a future visit.

Thanks for the information Paul, like I've said we live quite far away but do hope to revisit one day hopefully now with more knowledge under our belts.. We just had so many places to visit that week that we had to keep our research quite basic this time unfortunately.. I'm intrigued to look for those gardens now! 😁

This was a great find loved it thanks you guys
