Description
The natural arch and the remains of the old brick works at Porth Wen Anglesey, North Wales.
Situated on the beautiful north coast of Anglesey, the abandoned Porth Wen Brick Works is a fascinating piece of industrial archaeology.
The site was in operation between 1850 and 1914 and produced bricks of a special quality, capable of withstanding very high temperatures and so making them suitable for use in kilns or furnaces.
