‘Untopped’ in the 1990s. The remaining bits of buildings are from that period.
There is little evidence of the smaller scale older underground slate working and most of the easily accessible parts are flooded.
Possibly the location noted by Tony Jarrat in 1973 as being:
Slate Mine (Pont yr Afon Gam)
Small, well decorated and interesting mine of Ysbyty Ifan road out of [Blaenau]
Small intermittent underground working. Briefly re-opened in 1987 by some local miners before the site was sold and largely destroyed and flooded by untopping.
