The Ynysypandy slab mill only had a working life of 10 or 11 years as the Gorseddau quarry that supplied it with slate closed in 1867. This massive structure is now a scheduled ancient monument. The distant remains of the quarry can be dimly seen above the tramway embankment to the right of the building.

Derelict barracks and dressing shelters on two levels of Prince of Wales Quarry give a somewhat prehistoric feel to the place.
