EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enduring presence of a 19th century slate milestone standing proudly by the roadside at Pen y Gwryd, near Llanberis in North Wales. The milestone, a fine example of industrial history, marks the passage of time and distance for travelers navigating the winding roads of this picturesque region. The rugged terrain of the Glyderau or Glyder range, including Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr, and other peaks, rises majestically in the distance, framing the milestone against the backdrop of the Snowdonia National Park. The historical significance of this site is further enhanced by the presence of a Roman camp on the rising ground behind the milestone, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the area. A mountain rescue post is also located nearby, underscoring the region's rugged terrain and the importance of community and resilience. The slate industry played a vital role in the economic and industrial development of Caernarvonshire (now Gwynedd), with quarries and mining operations providing employment for countless workers. The milestone stands as a reminder of the hard work and determination of those who toiled in the quarries, transforming the natural resources of the land into valuable commodities. The Capel Curig, Beddgelert, and Llanberis valleys, with their quaint villages and breathtaking landscapes, continue to attract visitors from around the world, who come to explore the natural beauty and historical significance of this unique region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and enduring spirit of North Wales.
