Originally Gordon and Ann Hatherill went to Aberllefenni Quarry near Corris but, in the 1970s, they concentrated on Llechwedd and Maeofferen quarries at Blaenau Ffestiniog having been given permission by J W Greaves & Sons Ltd. During their time in the quarries Ann photographed, mainly in colour and Gordon drew and measured many items. The photographic record of these operations is unique.The text traces the growth of tramways within and from the quarries, types of rails, points, wagons, motive power, construction of inclines and associated equipment. Accompanied by photographs there are detailed descriptions of the methods of working the inclines and tramways. Pages of Gordon’s sketchbook are reproduced as well as his final drawings.The first edition of this work sold out rapidly. In assembling this second edition care has been taken to review the content and expand it to over twice that of the original.
