Where do the wheel barrows photos belong , the short ladder way / srt pitches is it entry -423


Pontrhydygroes - is this just the surface site which now contains the water wheel ?? , I am guessing Glog fawr feeds this .
 
Its Lefel Fawr at Pontrhydygroes, the barrows are on adit level. The waterwheel is at surface and is a reproduction which was installed as part of the "Spirit of the Miners" initiative. The level does eventually, after a climb up due to a dialing error, join to the 112 fthm level of Glog Fawr. The barrows are in a side passage. This is from memory, maybe someone else come in on this? I think they are before the climb up.
The photos were taken during NAMHO 2019.

the pipes in the middle were interesting as they have moved slightly out of alignment, my back was in bits for days after this one, but was . theres a lovely boot sat just passed the barrows
 
Considering this place has popped up and one I never got around to exploring, what are the access arrangements? Is it knock on the door? As I have done this previously a few times but unfortunately nobody was home every time. Thank you.

To be honest thats what we did, the owners at the time were really nice people and were fascinated with the picture.

The barrows are at the end after the climb, just after the barrows there is a crawl heading into stopes, to get to the stopes requires scrambling up loose stone, it has been shored up at some point but the timber is beginning to fail and some scaffold is sat on rock that is ready to slip, if it went it would block the way out, I wouldn't recommend heading in there.
I'm not sure if there is a way in from the other end to the top of the stopes?
I've yet to head up the rope to the wooden cart (part of Logolaus?) or one of the others...
