Porth Wen Brickworks

Porth Wen is the site of a now mostly unknown industrial heritage of North Wales. Having started around 170 years ago, the brickworks actually had a relatively short lived production, and has now fallen into disuse and decay as local difficulties emerged after world markets shifted their attention to cheaper manufacturers around a century ago. In that time the site has slowly crumbled into a timelessly charming coastal retreat that I fell in love with as soon as I first visited around three years ago.
