Atlanterra Project – Information Needed For Computer Animation

A survey drawing of the Winding House at Maenofferen Slate Quarry which will be used as part of the process of producing a computer animation of the site.

Three slate quarries are being recreated through computer animation as part of the 'Atlanterra' project.

• Maenofferen, Blaenau Ffestiniog – An example of an underground slate quarry, NPRN: 400427.
• Vivian, Llanberis – An example of a slate quarry worked as a series of galleries, NPRN: 40571.
• Pen-y-Bryn, Nantlle – An example of a slate quarry worked as a series of pits, NPRN: 33674.

Investigators from the Royal Commission have previously been to survey Vivian, and Maenofferen, a survey of Pen-y-Bryn will be carried out in the New Year.

The company carrying out the computer animation have asked that we supply them with information about these three sites, if anyone has any information about these quarries please contact: spencer.smith@rcahmw.gov.uk
