Welsh Highland Railway - July 26, 1990
Aberglaslyn Pass - looking towards Beddgelert. A Blacker Bombard Mortar, issued to the Home Guard during the Second World War as an anti tank weapon, was installed on the WHR track bed after the track had been removed in 1941. The mounting post and metal pivot remain in place until the track was relayed some 17 years or so after this photograph was taken. The mortar mounting has been preserved being moved to the side of the track bed.
