    I actually travelled down this incline in the man-rider car in 1972. The incline was worked by electric motors rather than gravity. In the boarded-up winding house were three barrels; one for each track. These will filled with brine and then a steel plate dipped in and out of the brine to control the motors. Back in 1972 the mine was working, and the sound of multiple generators and compressors running filled the caverns.

      @kwallace6uk.You are spot on,this was never a balance incline.Motor driven.And initially there were 4 set of tracks on this incline.I was one of the last drivers to operate this incline😀

    Hi Antonio, another fantastic underground explore, Chris is so knowledgeable about these slate mines, they really worked hard back in the day.
    When you think they only had candles to light the area where they worked, it must have been very scary with all of the machine noise and other
    sounds of blasting and loading up the ore carts. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

    The winder at this mine had a steam engine followed by an electric motor. Gravity would not work, lowering empty waggons and hauling full.

    Awesome content. I work in an underground mine in Australia and thought a word of caution is warranted here. There is nothing worse than someone who consistently shines lights in people's faces. First thing you get taught as a miner is to use your hand a shield to narrow the beam when people are in front of you. Otherwise, great work mate.

      Please visit with respect. Far too many people are leaving rubbish and graffitiing since the post-pandemic inrush. Also note that the usual dressing sheds level accessway has now been blocked by the owner (but is still accessible via alternative routes).

    Miles deep? If the incline started on the summit of Snowdon and went down to sea level , then it would be 1km deep ...however, it does not. Foolish thumbnail !
