Synopsis
Limited edition – only 500 copies published. Gunpowder, Granite and Grit by John Milner and Beryl Williams covers the history of the quarries and works of the Ceiriog Valley 1870 to 1950, served by the Glyn Valley Tramway 1873 to 1935.
The Ceiriog Valley today suggests little that it was once a thriving community of slate, granite, silica works and flannel mills, with the Glyn Valley Tramway running along its spine.
Volume three of John Milner and Beryl Williams’ Industrial History of the Ceiriog Valley, compiled from primary sources and hitherto unpublished archive material, placing on record, for the first time, the fascinating previously untold story of the gunpowder, granite, chert, chinastone and silica industries in this little Welsh valley, and their association with the Glyn Valley Tramway.
Includes 391 photographs, 27 maps and 28 drawings and plans.
