Rescuing History: Clearing Away Rubbish Left Behind by a few Urban Explorers and Photographers

Another epic adventure trying too clean up some of the rubbish left by urban explorers etc. With the awesome ‪@OreExplorer‬ ‪@Irishgerard‬ The Slate Quarry is depicted on the Ordnance Survey County Series second edition 25-inch map of 1901. The quarry was amalgamated with the neighbouring Quarries. Workings at the quarry were underground with some open working, established in about 1820. The quarry developed considerably after its connection to the Upper Corris Tramway by an incline passing under the main road. By 1873 200 men were employed. In 1884 it merged with the quarry next door and later a surface tramway connection enabled the latter's mills to be used. Wrought-iron fishbelly T-section rail was found to have been in use here, rarely found in internal systems. Bulk working and road improvements have left little to be seen. However drumhouse, some building ruins and a reservoir at the top of the site. #urbanexplorers #urbanexplorersgonewrong #urbanexplorersuk #urbanexplorersgettingcaught #urbanexplorersukunderground #urbanexplorersand #urbanexplorationabandoned #urbanexploringabandonedplaces #urbanexplorationhorrorstories #undergroundadventures #rubbish #cleanup #garbage
