The area used to be dominated by the mining industry, in particular by the Lisburnes. The miners' bridge across the Ystwyth gorge and the waterfall have been rebuilt.

The remnants of the Fron Goch mines, which mined Lead & Zinc from c.1760 until c.1903, are situated approximately 1 ³⁄₄ miles (2 ³⁄₄ km) north of the village.[1]
