Drum for the self-acting Bodwyddog Fawr incline at the Rhiw manganese mines. Ore was taken down to the pier at Nant Gadwen until the end of the First World War. There were two more inclines before the pier was reached and a long section that was eventually worked by a steam locomotive.

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.
