droid 11 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 It's always struck me as a rather gloomy place, all trees and dark slate. But there's some cracking walks around, and a few years back the pubs weren't bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But there's some cracking walks around, and a few years back the pubs weren't bad either. There was a time when that slate covered most of the roofs in the UK. These days it's cheaper to buy Spanish crap, Welsh slate costs a fecking fortune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That must have been an impressive sight when they were all up and running.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
