I really should change the name of these to Padarn Park :) A corner of the "Caban" from the slate museum. The " Caban" was much more than a canteen in the slate industry. Here men gathered to eat, but also to exchange news and debate, especially at times of unrest, such as the Lockout of 1885/86. In the caban policical movements were born, and football teams and choirs were organised. There was a strict hierarchy over who sat where, apprentices usually being furthest from the fire. Workers on the slopes also had their cabanod ( canteens) on the galleries giving them warmth and shelter. Thank you for looking.

Thanks for the tour,Jo. I don't think that people would put up with a canteen like this nowadays do you? A great shot with loads of atmosphere.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.
A wonderful piece of history. This is GOOD - love the way the light is falling on the bench. It has such an air of nostalgia. If that bench could talk it would have some tales to tell.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
I loved the gentle and caring narrative about this period of time. You captured the mood perfectly. All the dark tones really fit. Excellent photo Jo.
