The Copper Mines of Snowdonia
Britannia Copper Mine, Snowdon (or 'Brittania') - SH 6246 5449
The Miners Track was in use by 1813 and by 1898 had gone through the 'Green Lake', 'Snowdon' and 'Great Snowdon' mining companies to become the 'Brittania Mining Co', responsible for most of the existing leftovers. Despite new equipment, a aerial ropeway, electicity and a Pelton Wheel, mining finally finished in 1916.

Cwm Bychan Copper Mine, Beddgelert - SH 6041 4754
Dating from 1720, the mines at Cwm Bychan worked until c1875 but are well-known for the one-mile-long aerial ropeway that ran down to Nantmor, next to the Welsh Highland Railway. It was built c1925 for an attempted re-working of the mine but it was unsuccessful, lasting only 4 years or so.

Llandudno, both Ormes and Penrhyn Castle
Great Orme mines and quarries - SH 770 830
The Bishop's Quarry (on land given to the Bishop of Bangor by King Edward I in 1284 - the church sold the land in 1891.
The copper mines dates from prehistoric times to the late 18c.
The water tower at Gloddaeth Hall, Llandudno, is similar to a 17c dovecote in the grounds but probably dates from the 1880s.

Little Orme Quarry - SH 8180 8255
The Little Orme Quarry opened in 1889 by the 'Little Orme's Head Limestone Co', stone being loaded direct into ships at it's quayside. The quarry was worked by a 3ft gauge railway system worked initially by a 'De Winton' type vertical boilered loco 'Little Orme' followed by a secondhand Manning Wardle loco, then 3 new Kerr Stuart locos up to 1927 and after by 3 vertical boilered Sentinal locos, the ghosts of De Winton? It closed in 1931 when it was taken over by APCM. The quarry worked on three levels, the smaller top level was connected to the main level by a rope-worked incline. The main and lower level were operated by the rail system. All the stone left by sea from a small wharf below the lower level.
