Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Disused Road And The Oil Powder Explosion - geograph.org.uk - 250644.jpg |
English: The Disused Road And The Oil Powder Explosion. A cart carrying 5 tons of nitro-glycerine from Caernarfon to the quarries at Llanberis exploded here - on what was until the 1960s the main A4086 road - on 30th June 1869, killing 5 people. The inquest showed that the carters had spent some time at the Alexandria Inn in Cwm y Glo and possibly that one may have decided to light his pipe. The explosion killed the carters and three quarrymen who were passing at the time. Debris from the explosion travelled as far as Brynrefail and as high as Gallt y Celyn cottage.
