The Binoculars or Y Sbienddrych In Welsh. These tunnels are a notable part of the history to and from the Abercwmeiddaw Slate Quarry. In 1864, an experimental tunnel machine, designed by John Dickinson Brunton, this tunnelling machine was one of the minor few machines to even once exist and that was Worldwide! This tunnelling machine, was powered by a steam engine and was used to bore huge 80m circular tunnel and a failed 10m tunnel that both were drilled deep into the rock. However despite John Dickinson Bruntons efforts in him aiming to revolutionize quarrying. While yes he’d been very successful within these bored tunnels and had success in creating the quarried tunnels, yet the bore machine itself was far, far too difficult to even control and the whole operation was abandoned.
