Moody, Dramatic Black & White Photography

In this vlog i head up Pen Garret for some moody black and white photography. Many of the upper galleries of the quarry’s Garret department are visible from here, near the former slate mill. Abyssinia was the sixth gallery up from this level, which was known as Mills.
Fourteen sawing mill sheds stood along the main galleries. Altogether, there were over 30 slate galleries. Each gallery was named after a local landmark, notable event, place in the world, woman related to Dinorwig or local character.
Working on the galleries was very dangerous. Men were fastened to the rockface by a rope. This was the only thing protecting them from falling to the bottom. The rock being quarried was unstable. The quarrymen had to be aware of any loose slate above where they were working.
