Winding Gear, Porthwen

There had to be a reason for siting the brickworks on the side of the bay but I could not see how they could easily get the raw materials down to it until I saw this up on the hill behind. It is the remains of the winding gear used to take trucks down a gravity incline. At the back of the works was a crushing shed then storage for the crushed stone in readiness for the production process. The clay was taken from the hillside to the south.
