Photo "Old slate quarry at Glogue Slate extraction probably started here in a small way at the end of the C18 but output only picked up in the 1820s and 30s. It grew substantially during the second half of the C19, peaking in 1873 when 80 men were employed, producing 2000 tons of slate a year. It was also in 1873 that the railway finally opened, with the purpose of easing the transport out. Production slowed down in the C20 and the quarry was worked by a local syndicate until it closed in 1926." by ceridwen (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0) / Cropped from original
