Waterfalls and Tin Mines

Here is a beautiful view called Aberdulais Falls in South Wales. It' a National Trust place and is gorgeous.


It used to be a working tin site... 


Where the water would turn the wheel to create the power needed to process and flatten tin...


to be turned into various tin-ny products (like tins!)...


There's a museum onsite and a school (turned Cafe now) where the children who worked there could be schooled, when they were not working their poor little fingers to the bone.

And talking of the Cafe: the most amazing thing for a National Trust eatery was that 3 people could have a drink and a cake (cream tea, Toblerone tart and strawberry cheesecake to be precise) and still get change from £8!!! It must be Wales prices. God bless 'em!
