Fron Haul, Llanberis, National Slate Museum
A row of four quarrymen's houses that recapture significant periods from the slate industry.
Originally from Tanygrisiau they were painstakingly demolished and rebuilt here.
From right to left:-
No.1 Fron Haul - the end of an era in 1969 when the quarry closed.
No. 2 Fron Haul recreates Bethesda in 1901 and the time of the Penrhyn Lockout (1900 -1903) - one of the longest running disputes in British industrial history.
No. 3 Fron Haul recaptures Tanygrisiau in 1861 – the ‘Golden Age'.
No.4 Fron Haul, where the film ‘Stories in the Stones’ tells the tale of the houses, the people who lived in them and the process of dismantling and rebuilding them here in the museum.
