On the north coast of Anglesey, a few miles west of Amlwch, are the remains of a brickworks. It was opened at the turn of the last century to make refractory bricks for use in the steel industry. The bricks were exported by sea from the works' own harbour. The whole operation closed down at the start of the first world
war and most of it has slowly rusted away ever since. If you are able to help with any more details of the life and times of Porth Wen then please contact me
I have recently enlarged this site to include some details and photos of Llanlleiana copper works, Cemaes Bay brickworks and the navigation markers at Carmel Head.
