More about this scene

This photograph appears to show a quiet village where nothing much happens apart from an amble down to the post office to buy a few stamps. However, near here at his manor of Glyndyfrdwy, Owain Glyndwr proclaimed himself Prince of Wales on 16 September 1400, so beginning his 9-year rebellion against English rule.

Spent a while looking at Glyndyfrdwy on Google maps and came across 3 areas just below Glyndyfrdwy that look like very large limestone mounds. There appears to be derelict remnant of miners? houses by these rocks. The area looks fascinating and well worth a visit for photography! Would be so grateful though if someone can cast a light on these limestone areas and their ruins. Whether they are old quarries or mining communities - - help please!
Whatever happened to my first real girlfriend (dare I say first love) Sandra Phillips from Glyndud? Sandy, I hope you are happy, healthy and that the world has treated you well.
