100 years old and still proudly announcing ownership of this building at Cefn Mawr. It is now occupied by a firm specialising in sewing machine sales and repairs. The terracotta is almost certainly a product of the nearby works of J C Edwards.

I was on my way to the Padeswood cement works when I happened upon this place. I now know that this is the quarry that Castle Cement use to supply limestone to Padeswood. They also dump cement kiln ash in the old workings.
