EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate patterning of a slate roof on an abandoned weighbridge building at Blaenau Ffestiniog Slate Quarry in North Wales. The Welsh history and industrial heritage are evident in the detailed craftsmanship of the slate tiles, showcasing the skilled workmanship of the quarry workers who once toiled in this area.
The structure itself is made entirely from waste slate, a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of those who built it. Many other buildings in the region, including houses, also feature this unique construction material, highlighting its importance to the local economy.
The image transports viewers back in time to when mining was a way of life for many residents of Caernarvonshire (now Gwynedd). The abandoned weighbridge building stands as a reminder of a bygone era, where hardworking men labored under challenging conditions to extract valuable resources from the earth.
This photograph not only showcases the beauty and complexity of slate roofing but also serves as a tribute to the industrious spirit of those who shaped this landscape. It is a snapshot of history frozen in time, waiting to be explored and appreciated by future generations.
