Built to export slate from the Penrhyn Quarry, the largest slate quarry in the world at the end of the nineteenth century. Built by George Hay Dawkins-Pennant, probably to the designs of Benjamin Wyatt (architect to the Penrhyn Estate) in order that the horse tramway from the Penrhyn Quarry could pass directly on to the wharf at Porth Penrhyn.
