Description
Anglesey Barracks accommodation for quarrymen, they would spend the week based in the barracks working in the quarry, leaving their homes very early on Monday morning and returning Saturday afternoon.
Conditions were spartan. Each two-room unit had a living area with a fireplace and a sleeping area for four men. Facilities were scant no running water, toilets or electricity.
Public-health inspectors closed down these barracks in 1948.

I thought that this spectacular image was worthy of another look. The picture captures in my view the very essence of North Wales. I particularly like the balance of depth and detail and the colouring gives it a timeless feel.
