SH4353 : Former Hilton Sea Foods Whelk Farm (2)
taken 9 years ago, near to Pontllyfni, Gwynedd, Wales
Former Hilton Sea Foods Whelk Farm (2)
The main channel running parallel to the coast to distribute water to the tanks/ponds inland at the former Hilton Sea Foods whelk farm, Pontllyfni. The concrete hut contains switchgear and a sluice and looks to have been the control for the seawater inlet. I am told it was overwhelmed by the bad storms a few years ago and has subsequently been left to be reclaimed by nature. The buildings have now collapsed, apart from the switch room for the sluices. A lot of the ponds and channels are still partly intact but very overgrown. It now hosts Reed Buntings and Warblers.
