Abandoned Quarry YR EIFL - Wales - Snowdonia - DJI Drone

There were a number of small quarries between Carreg y Llam and Nefyn, the working conditions just as hard but they provided people with a wage at difficult times. In Nefyn, there were 58 men working in the quarries in 1851, but with the demand for setts increasing and quarries opening more people moved into the area, particularly to Pistyll parish, according to the 1881 census.
