View eastwards from near Carmel Head, Anglesey. These old mine remains are part of a set of old workings along a mineralised fault line just south of Trwyn y Gader (Carmel Head), on the north-west tip of Anglesey. I lived on a farm near here for 2 months in the summer of 1972 whilst carrying out my undergraduate student mapping project. The Wylfa Magnox nuclear power station at Cemaes Bay is visible in the distance.
