Slate Quarry
A Memory of Upper Chapel.
I have fond memories of working in a slate mine as a 20year old. Only for a short period servicing and checking a Tilghmans compressors which supplied compressed air inside the mountain. I vividly remember being in the mine and told to stay inside a cutout whilst blasting.
48 years on and still the thrill is like yesterday.
