Slate quarry
« on: Tuesday 23 September 14 13:33 BST (UK) »
can I ask the Ballachulish slate quarry works has an sign showing the history of the mine, I can see from a picture on another site there is a photo with some of the miners on these information markers. Is there any where I can see these photos of the quarrier's are they in a book that can be purchased. Also is there a museum there with pictures of the men. i would really appreciate help here I know Lincolnshire is the other end of the world but at this present time and financially trips to Scotland have been put on hold.
