The old slate cutting shed was converted into accommodation with the building of bunks and a fireplace. We used to explore the underground workings with the aid of carbide lamps. At the time I had my fathers old Austin Somerset, but I sold this and bought a Sunbeam Talbot 90. The track up to the village was bad , even in those days. The land was eventually purchased by the Forestry Commission who demolished all the buildings, and generally tore the place up.
Underground access is still possible.
This has recently been removed by persons unknown. At the time of writing, the area has recently been planted and shows little resemblance to its former state. Several old friends are now dead. There is now work going on clearing vegetation and laying paths. What I have seen so far, I like.
