EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th-century photograph captures the bustling scene at Porthmadog, or Portmadoc, as viewed from Belle Vue in Gwynedd, North Wales. The small coastal town was a hub of activity during this period, with its strategic location making it an ideal place for the export of slate from the nearby quarries. The image presents a muddy and dirt-covered quayside, where men in Victorian attire work diligently to load slate onto boats and ships. The waterfront teems with activity, with boats of various sizes anchored at the quay, waiting to transport the valuable mineral to destinations far and wide. The ships in the background, with their sails raised, add to the sense of industry and commerce that pervaded the area. Despite the muddy conditions, the scene is full of life and energy. Men and women can be seen working together to load the slate, their faces expressing a sense of determination and focus. The boats and ships, too, seem to be a part of the landscape, blending seamlessly with the land and water. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when Porthmadog was a thriving center of trade and industry, and the export of slate played a crucial role in the local economy. The image is a testament to the hard work and resilience of the people who lived and worked in this coastal town during the 19th century.
