| Royal Commission Investigators Susan Fielding and Scott Lloyd survey the interior of the slate processing shed |
As part of both the Commission’s new Slate Quarries project and the Atlanterra project, RCAHMW Investigators have just completed their first week of survey at Maenofferen, part of the extensive quarrying complex at Blaenau Ffestiniog. We are currently recording the buildings within the processing complex and part of the wider industrial landscape including the tramways, inclines and workers cottages both to inform our research and to provide a conservation record of these features, many of which are listed buildings. The work will feed into a new slate quarries publication which will be published by the Commission in conjunction with David Gwyn… watch this space for more information.
