Aberllefenni

I wonder what a photo of an England engine at Blaenau has to do with Aberllefenni Slate Mine?

Please don't go in Aberllefenni!

Aberllefenni has just ceased to work as an underground quarry and the owners are suffering enormous problems at the hands of reckless explorers forcing entry and causing damage. The owners are extremely upset and concerned for the safety of their machinery and other property in the mine. In an attempt to stop people they've had to bulldoze-in the main entrance and are on the verge of removing their kit and bulldozing the other entrance if the situation isn't brought rapidly under control. This would seal off this mine possibly forever. Talks are in progress with the owners about a long term access arrangement for sensible explorers, to who they are sympathetic. Any attempted visit until this is arranged will seriously hamper this discussion, so it is vitally important that nobody attempts to enter the mine for the time being. Besides endangering future access for everyone, anybody caught trying to enter the mine (it is being watched) is likely to face heavy legal proceedings. Thanks for your understanding in this matter and your help in bringing a volatile situation under control. Please email me with any questions or comments.
