Description

Der Steinbruch Pantdreiniog war ein Schieferbruch innerhalb der Stadt Bethesda in Nordwales. Er wurde zwischen etwa 1825 und 1923 betrieben. Er spielte eine bedeutende Rolle im Penrhyn Great Strike, dem längsten industriellen Streit Großbritanniens.

Die frühe Geschichte des Steinbruchs ist unklar, aber er scheint etwa 1825 begonnen zu haben und war sicherlich 1845 in Betrieb, als der Steinbrecher John Hughes aus Maentwrog in den Abgrund fiel, der damals 40 Yards tief war. 1860 produzierte die Pantdreiniog Slate Company, die William Owen gehörte, 3.000 Tonnen Schiefer, was 1864 auf 1.372 Tonnen, produziert von 30 Männern, sank. In den 1860er Jahren erweiterte sich der Steinbruch und übernahm den angrenzenden Coetmor Quarry. Irgendwann in den späten 1860er Jahren wurde der Steinbruch geschlossen.
