Foel Slate Mine (Moel Siabod)
Posted: 20/03/2012 18:29:16 Reply | Quote I have been trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to find some information/history on the quarry which lies on the flank of Moel Siabod (The highest one). There seems to be some evidence that there was a mine there but I can find nothing to support that theory. Does anyone have a link to anything useful please ? (I have been googling for ages  )Fanks !
