Parys Mountain General pictures

Parys Mountain ochres and smelter debris can be very colourful. This looking north from south side of open pit.
	A painting made around 1854 by Warrington Smythe, an Inspector of Mines. It is of the Great Open Cast pit of the Parys Mine as viewed from the north east. 71kb.
Aerial photograph taken 13 May 1995 showing the shaft and mill sites, the west end of the old workings with the hills of Snowdonia beyond Anglesey and the Menai Straits to the south.
	The Mountain and old windmill on a misty morning
Richly ochreous lumps on the surface at Parys Mountain.
	Arial Photograph of the shaft site, taken from the south, 13 May 1995. The headframe and winder are obvious. At the extreme bottom of the picture is the edge of the White Rock which gives its name to an area of underground reserves.
Perhaps the most complete view of Parys Mountain from the air. The shaft and headframe are in the foreground, the new mill site is beyond the headframe and the old workings in the background. Point Lynas is visible in the distance. (This is a large image - 283kb - and may take some time to load).
	Photograph of the Great Open Cast of the Parys Mine. Almost all the old underground workings are to the north (left) side of this view. Regrettably the draining of the mountain for safety reasons in the summer of 2003 has emptied the pond in this picture.
