Welsh Slate Quarry Museum - August 2003

Within the walls of the museum are a collection of vehicles from various quarries around the region.  Pride of the collection is 'Una' from Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarry.  Elsewhere is a surviving wagon from the Croesor Tramway and hidden under a tarpaulin was something that looked suspiciously like a Penrhyn workmans carriage.
