Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A dressing waste tip above Braich Mill The gallery immediately above the Ponc Isa' Braich Mill contained two rows of dressing sheds -'waliau' - where the sawn slate was split and then trimmed with a steel knife. Waste from trimming sheds is much finer than that from the pit. The tip further up the slope consists largely of pit waste. Each bargain team were paid a poundage on the waste produced - a few pennies per ton. Dressing waste tips can be quite noisy on a windy day, as loose slivers of slate vibrate in the wind, work themselves loose and tumble down the side of the tip. It would appear also that waste has been extracted from this tip, for it makes fine hard core and track surfaces. |
