Rhiwbach Quarry - Photo Gallery Page 1

Looking at the top of the incline with the tramway route about to descend to the quarry.

This is a view of the sheave at the top of the incline.  There was a near horizontal wheel here.  The haulage wire ran from the boiler house around this wheel and then back down to the
bottom of the incline.

This wheel is near the bottom of the incline.  It was used by the returning
haulage wire from the top of the incline.

The shell of an old water tank rusts away near the engine house.

This tower once carried a haulage wire from the engine house.  The wire was used to
power the incline from the underground workings known as Cwm End.  The original plan was for the underground workings to be accessed by a vertical shaft in the vicinity of the boiler house. This never came to fruition and this rather awkward method of working prevailed.
