Oakeley Slate Quarry: The K Trwnc from Bonc Coedan 1968/69

This picture was taken by the late Rodney Weaver in 1968/69 just before Oakeley closed. On the left is the C Incline from Bonc Coedan down to DE floor via C. Just visible half-way down on the left is the C compressor building which housed a venerable Ingersol-Rand piston valve compressor of 1907. At the foor of the incline are the sidings leading to the K Trwnc incline (Centre) The larger building near the foot of the C incline is the K Trwnc motor house. Also visible is the intermediate rope support between it and the headframe with its red control hut.
