this site im not sure if it was for coal/slate mining but what ever it was for it was the heart of the town and now that it is abandoned the town is slowly drifting towards being a ghost town there is signs all over the landscape of its industrial past

sorry about the lens hood creeping in on the shots it was this or having faded photos :)

*(if there's any spelling/grammar mistakes sorry about that but is my dyslexic :D )*

really wanted to visit this place but it a civil guard 4x4 kept cruising along the perimeter of this building and not speaking good (any) spanish i didnt want to risk it, but if its still around i will hopefully revisit it again :D
