Llanberis Lake Railway, 2011

28 photos of this 2ft gauge line and the Welsh National Slate Museum. Both are derived from the Dinorwic slate quarry, which once employed over 3000 men, but closed in 1969.

Dinorwic quarry water wheel, National Slate Museum, Gilfach Ddu, Llanberis, Sun 21 August 2011 1. Machinery in the workshops was powered by line shafting which itself was powered by this 50ft 5in water wheel, recently restored and now the largest working water wheel in Britain. Here are four photos.
