Slate Quarry Dinorwic 1962 The first commercial attempts at slate mining took place in 1787, when a private partnership obtained a lease from the landowner, Assheton Smith. Although this met with moderate success, the outbreak of war with France, taxes and transportation costs limited the development of the quarry. A new business partnership led by Assheton Smith was formed on the expiry of the lease in 1809 and the business boomed after the construction of a horse-drawn tramway to Port Dinorwic

One prominent historical operation of Welsh slate mining, situated near Denbighshire, saw small-scale extraction from the 17th century before commercial production commenced in 1857, fueled by the formation of the Cambrian Slate Company Ltd. This quarry's output significantly increased after 1873 with the opening of the Glyn Valley Tramway, a narrow-gauge line that facilitated the transport of slate to market, initially by horse and gravity. The tramway, also carrying passengers from 1875, later
