Hi All

Does anyone have any info, history or personal stories of working at  Pistyll Gwyn Quarry, nr Llanarmon yn Iāl? I'm trying to piece together the working life of my late grandfather who worked there until 1970 as did many of his family in the past?........

There is a llanarmon-yn-iāl community Facebook group and someone has just posted aerial photos of the quarry dated 1952.

It's also a great place to ask as many locals are on there.
