Description
Tramway running on a south/north orientation for 175m between Ffridd-glyn (Upper) slate quarry (NPRN 505532) in the south towards inclined planes on the northern end. The site survives in part as a large slate spoil constructed embankment measuring up to 12m wide at its base and 3.5m wide at the summit. It bridges a gap over the earlier Ffridd-glyn (West) slate quarry (NPRN 505749) at its centre. The site is shown on the RCAHMW Aerial Photographic interpretation and the OS 1st Edition mapping. South end is SH5620960301. North end is SH5618760468. P.J. Schofield, OANorth, 27th June 2007
