Summary edit

Description
English: Ceunant Arsenic mine This is one of many arsenic flues connected with this mine; the adit is right on the river bank nearby. The ore would be roasted in a calciner then the sublimated arsenic would be scraped off the stone flags that lined the flues. The process was not only dangerous to the men but it polluted the Ogwen and the mine was soon closed in the 1830s.
