I clicked, I viewed, I liked...
Personally, I think numbers 3, 5 and 17 are the strongest.
Best wishes, Kris

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

6 is my favourite. The whole set tells a story and I cetainly got a feel of the place and what it must have been like to be there when it was operational.

Thanks everyone. It was a gloomy afternoon with poor light, so it wasn't a bad place to be. Never get tired of going there.
Best wishes,
Andrew

A very enjoyable set of pictures Andrew, you've selected a good cross section to paint a picture of this remarkable Welsh industry.

Personally, this is the most enjoyable set of yours I've yet seen. I feel like I've been there now. I really like the metal containers. The slates at the window (subject to a crop to the left of the second windowframe) and the coat rack I'd happily have framed.

I'm gratified by your kind observations, gents. Glad they struck a chord with you both.
Someone really ought to go there with a K20 to capture the low light interiors in lovely grain-free detail.

Nice set of images, I agree over number six. Maybe the slate mine would like to purchase the set.

Be warned, however, there are seventeen pictures in the set and should only be viewed by tolerant enthusiasts!
