Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Jerusalem quarry near Porthgain The coastal stretch west of Porthgain is mixture of soft sedimentary and hard igneous rock, the former providing slate for quarrying and the latter, granite for extraction, often with explosives. This vast crater on the Penclegyr headland drops down to a platform on the seaward side, and supplied roadstone that was taken out via a tramway that ran below the buildings seen in the distance. It was sorted into the hoppers that can still be seen on the quayside, whence it was shipped out by sea. |
