Nant Gadwen lower incline

Winding drum remains at the top of the lower Nant Gadwen Incline which carried ore from the various Rhiw Manganese Mines down to a pier at Porth Ysgo. The pier was completed in 1902-3 and the incline operated until the closure of the mines in 1925, although a certain amount was shipped from the tips for a few years afterwards. The building on the left served the weighbridge.
