Welsh Slate - David Gwyn

Type: Books
£45.00

By the late nineteenth century as many as a third of all roofing slates produced worldwide came from Wales, competing with quarries in France and the United States.This book traces the industry from it's origins in the Roman period, it's slow medieval development and then it's massive expansion in the nineteenth century - as well as it's long drawn-out decline in the twentieth.
