Description
A mixture of black and white photographs of staff who worked at the quarry.
1 - 3: Taken on 30/07/1954
4 - 5: Slightly older photos, possibly 1930's. Not sure of the meaning of "TH" chalked on to the slab of slate?
6: Inscription on back of photo says "Saw Shed, Glyndyfrdwy 1904. Manager in left front foreground office". Believed this is where the slate was cut and dressed before shipment.
7 & 8: Believed pictures of same water wheel.
9 & 10: Photos from 1878 and 1895. Both taken by J Thomas Photos, 47 Everton Road, Liverpool.
