Dinorwig Quarry taken from one ponc (gallery), looking down at the ponc (gallery) below. In the photograph two quarrymen and one steward, possibly Mr Owen William Humphreys, are standing beside two rubble wagons, looking at a large piece of slate which has been dislodged from the rockface above. A series of ‘cytiau mochal ffiar’ (blasting shelters / huts), wagons, and railway tracks, can be seen on the different ponciau (galleries).

Golygfa o Chwarel Dinorwig wrth edrych i lawr o un bonc at y bonc nesaf. Yn y ffotograff mae dau chwarelwr ac un stiward, o bosibl Mr Owen William Humphreys, yn sefyll wrth ochr dwy wagen rwbel ac yn edrych ar ddarn mawr o lechfaen sydd wedi dod yn rhydd o'r graig. Gwelir nifer o gytiau mochal ffiar, wagenni, a thraciau rheilffordd ar gyfres o bonciau gwahanol.
