This second book, Snowdonia Slate 2 - The story with photographs, complements and adds to the descriptions of the first volume. It is written in a different format to book 1 in that the sites are described alphabetically.

Quarrying and mining slate was once a booming industry that added much to the local economy and has been dubbed ''the most Welshest of industries''. This book illustrates and records the current surface remains of some of the abandoned slate mines and quarries of Snowdonia.
