In the 1850s the area was transformed by the opening of three granite quarries � Chwarel y Nant, Chwarel Cae'r Nant, Chwarel Carreg y Llam, Quarrying activity decreased during the 1930s and the cottages fell into disrepair. Since then it was acquired and modernised by a local trust set up to establish a Welsh language centre
