Porth Wen Works

In operation from 1850 to 1914. The works produced bricks made from local quartzite which was capable of withstanding high temperatures making them suitable for furnaces or kilns.

I love this, fantastic stuff. Thanks Malenis

Really likes this post you brought the place to life with your images.

Nice post. Must have been quite industrious in its time.

The last photo. I've kayaked to this place a few times. On my first visit the hole in the floor (out of shot) had pretty much been created by the sea eroding the bottom of the building.

Your picture shows almost the entire floor gone.

Will call in next time I'm on Anglesey.

Oh mate some fantastic shots there and what a great setting - 5 star badge for you

Fantastic looking place that! Great pics man.
