On Wednesday 27th July 2022 I went on an amazing exploration of the huge Dinorwic slate quarry site that is opposite Snowdon and overlooks Llanberis. In July 2021 this area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, joining the likes of the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China! The views are quite simply stunning.
The first commercial attempts at slate mining took place in 1787, and the business boomed after the construction of a horse-drawn tramway to Port Dinorwic in 1824. This became the Padarn Railway, (the first steam locomotives were supplied in 1870 by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds), a narrow gauge railway now partially preserved as the Llanberis Lake Railway. At its height at the turn of the twentieth century, Dinorwic was the second largest slate quarry in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry. It was producing an annual outcome of 100,000 tonnes" and employed more than 3,000 men.
By 1930 its working employment had dropped to 2,000. The quarry closed in July 1969, the result of industrial decline and difficult slate removal. During the 1950s/60s extraction had become very difficult, because after 170 years of extraction many of the unsystematically dumped slate tips were now beginning to slide dangerously into some of the major pit workings, and after an enormous fall in the Garret area of the quarry in 1966 (which can still be seen in Photo 6), production ceased.
Dinorwic quarry covered 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries. Many of these inclines still exist (some in better condition than others!) and many buildings are still accessible. There are old rails and bits of quarry equipment everywhere. It’s a fascinating site, but quite dangerous too of course so care must be taken at all times if you’re exploring there. It’s a very popular site for climbers.
Since closure, the National Slate Museum has opened in some of the 19th century workshops that have been impressively preserved. It’s well worth a visit!

An exploration in DOF.
Dedicated to my new friend Rodger. Who taught me that one of the things I do was actually called something, "Depth of Field". Thank to you, and all my Flickr friends I learn something new almost every day.
According to Wiki: In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, the depth of field (DOF) is the distance in front of and beyond the subject that appears to be in focus. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on either side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
For some images, such as landscapes, a large DOF may be appropriate, while for others, such as portraits, a small DOF may be more effective.
