               Ty Gwyn

The Ty Gwyn is a Victorian mine completely separate from the other mines of the Great Orme.

Entrance is gained by way of a manhole near to the pier entrance on the prom.

The photographs displayed here have been taken by a variety of club members. Due to the large number available, these images are not in any particular order. Edric Roberts has kindly allowed us to reproduce here his set of photographs taken when GOES first broke into the Ty Gwyn workings, these have the description prefixed with "ER".
