Porthgain textures

Porthgain has such an interesting recent history. At the same time slate and roads stone were quarried and bricks were made. Slate cutting was from 1850 - 1910 and there was a tram line from Abereiddy to Porthgain to carry the material from the Blue Lagoon to the harbour.  Brick making was from 1889 - 1912 and the brick making and drying sheds are still in existence. Road stone was quarried between 1889 - 1931 and the crushers and hoppers are still evident. The brick walls from the past and the fishing equipment of the present provide some lovely textures to photograph.
