Decorated slate, Sling

These decorated slate pieces are something of a tradition in the Dyffryn Ogwen area, although we do have records of examples from other areas in the Slate Landscape.

Llechen addurnedig, Sling

Mae’r darnau llechi addurnedig yma’n rhyw fath o draddodiad yn ardal Dyffryn Ogwen er bod gennym gofnodion o enghreifftiau sy’n hanu o ardaloedd eraill yn y Dirwedd Llechi.

Barics Môn sydd wedi goroesi orau o nifer o farics yn Chwarel Dinorwig
Fe’u codwyd, mae’n debyg, rhwng 1869 a 1873 ac roedd pobl yn byw yno tan 1937

Last stop is Penrhyn Castle NT/YG Castell Penrhyn and its nearby slate quarry. This 19thC Neo-Norman castle was funded by the riches of the family's slave plantation in Jamaica. The proliferation of Penrhyn slate roofs throughout India and Jamaica testify to the assertion of British power abroad ⛵

First stop Dinorwic Slate Quarry, the second largest in the world. Tramways carried slate down to the lake, where it was taken on to Caernarfon to be shipped. 🪨 #Worldheritage

⭐️ Amgueddfa Lechi Cymru | National Slate Museum Cymru has been awarded a £400K development grant by the The National Lottery Heritage Fund which will be used to transform the museum into a world-class visitor attraction at the heart of the #WalesSlate landscape and tell the stories of the men and women who shaped it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We’re thrilled to have been awarded this funding and we’re extremely grateful to Cronfa Treftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol. This will transform, not only Amgueddfa Lechi Cymru | National Slate Museum, but the way we can tell the story of the world heritage slate landscape of north west Wales.
