The Huge Disused Slate Quarry of Dinorwig

Dinorwig slate quarry was one of the biggest in the world at its height, employing thousands of men from Gwynedd and Anglesey. When it closed in the 1960s much of the quarry was just left, standing in time. It's a vast place of deep tunnels, high galleries, haunting huts and rusted machinery. It's a great place to walk, go climbing or just explore -like a giant theme park for history nerds. Today the mountain is even a super-efficient, sustainable power plant. But its also a great way to see and understand the hardships faced by so many working people in Britain's quarrying and mining history. ======================================== Facebook: @BeeHereNowUK Instagram: @olliet_uk Support me on Patreon for added extras and exclusive content:   / beeherenow   If you like the video and want to show some support, how about buying me a brew.
