Yr Eifl

Yr Eifl
The Yr Eifl granite quarry at Trefor opened in 1850 and closed in 1963. The massive concrete stone bins and crusher block were built in 1923.

Did the demand for granite die? There appears to be more in the hill.

There is still plenty of granit there, including a particular type that is found only there and on the Island of Ailsa Craig. This is used for the manufacture of curling stones and a small amount is quarried here from time-to-time in order to make another batch of stones.
