Old Lime Kiln at Penwyllt
Penwyllt is a Welsh hamlet located in the upper Swansea Valley, to the east of the Black Mountain. A former quarrying village, quicklime and silica brick production centre, its fortunes rose and fell as a result of the industrial revolution within South Wales. It is now an important caving centre. John Christie, a Scottish businessman based in London, developed a limestone quarry at Penwyllt, and decided to develop lime kilns there as well.
