there were many watermills here grinding grain which came from cheshire the area shown is the race the mill pool was to the right and all the way up to the source this was going on from the 13th century .
Hi Erin. Loving your infomative posts. I'd love to see one on the copper mines at the great orme. It was discovered after i left colwyn bay and i'd love to know more about it's history. Take care. Tim.
Very interesting to see such an overlooked area explained. My grandfather of Halkyn, worked in the copper mines locally circa 1900. I have no further details than remembering that he said, as a 14 year old...'I got my pay and sat on the hills after my shift and sat smoking a Woodbine. I said bugger that I'm not going down there again'. This is a true story after which he implored his father, a hill shpherd to get him another job. Soon after he started a 7 year apprenticeship as a grocer in Mold. So copper was also found locally Erin, maybe another vid later? Good luck and thanks. Dr Steve Bellis (ignore my hash tag!)
