Welsh Slate Museum
Llanberis, Gwynedd, LL55 4TY
Tel:
(01286) 870630
The Welsh Slate Museum at
Llanberis has recently been relaunched following investment of a £1.6 million
lottery grant, bringing back to life the inheritance of the North Wales slate
industry which roofed the industrial revolution. Not so much a museum as a
pocket of history, it is as though the quarrymen and engineers put down their
tools and left the courtyard for home, just hours before.
