Penmon Park Quarry incline
The limestone quarries at Penmon Park were operating in the early nineteenth century. By 1875 the workings were connected to a saw mill and jetty at Porth Penmon by a 3ft 6ins gauge incline. At this time the quarries were in the control of Samuel Blatchford Tucker and the Anglesea (Penmon) Marble Quarries Co Ltd. This company was liquidated in 1879 and followed by Public Works & Contract Co Ltd (registered in1883 and liquidated in 1890), Penmon Quarries Ltd (1886 - 1891). From 1890 the quarries were worked by John Harold Hope until closure in 1911.
The route of the incline can be seen passing under the Penmon road in the centre background of this photo. The piers and timbers in the foreground once held a travelling crane, whilst the stone building to the right is the remains of the sawmill.
