the abandoned mines that built England

Join me as I head inside the abandoned mines that built Britain, exploring the massive Dinorwig slate quarry in North Wales and uncovering the story of how both Welsh slate and coal fuelled the Industrial Revolution, powered Britain’s cities, and supplied the nation through wars. In this video, I walk through the remains of the quarry, explain how the mining boom shaped Wales, and why the Welsh deserve far more credit for their role in building modern Britain.
