Work that takes place in a slate quarry. Views of the quarry. Various shots of men at work. We see them drilling holes in a rock face and placing gun powder inside the hole. Ballast follows it. The fuse is lit. Blasting takes place. Small explosion. Men climb down into the quarry then prise pieces of slate off the side of the quarry.
Trucks carrying slate travel past the camera. The slate is transported via small trains and a hoist. Men then push the trucks of slate into the work room. Various shots of the slate being cut - both by hand and by machine. Edges are cut off by a machine.
Parts of the slate quarry are to be preserved as ancient industrial monuments. As narrator states: "Efficient though it is, it hardly seems to belong to this day and age."
Cuts exist - see separate record.

Little did they know, there actually wouldn’t be a working train there in a hundred years time 🙁
It probably all closed down within 10 years of this film.
We explore and make our own videos underground its fascinating to see them being worked . Thanks for uploading
Good video like you sharing ❤
"There was a railway here a hundred years ago. There'll certainly be one here in a hundred years' time." Unfortunately this Quarry is now without a railway. Unless that little garden thing Joy of Life railway is still around, but the website appears defunct.
cool.
अपनी कमाई का बीस प्रतिशत हिस्सा भी यदि पर्यावरण के संरक्षण के लिए खर्च करते हैं तो आपका भविष्य अच्छा रहेगा पैड पौधे लगाना चाहिए और बरसाती झरना पर छोटे छोटे एनिकट बनाकर जल संरक्षण संभव है।
Met God up Zig Zag mountain.
There are TH-camrs who eat slate. They actually make a meal of it.
Plenty of miners around Wales did the same with slate dust, theve all died of lung cancer now.

@@andrewdaley5480 yep, but silicosis isnt the only one they died from. filling your lungs with anything but air is a bad idea
