Derelict locomotive shed, Glan y Pwll
This is the derelict loco shed of the Festiniog Railway at the northern end of its line. It dates from c1900 when the trackwork at Dinas Junction was revised & the old shed at Dinas closed. The site is now the railway's northern engineering depot & the shed has been replaced by a considerably larger one incorporating some of the stonework from the 1900 structure.
