Description

Gwynedd's industrial heritage is a fascinating story of innovation and adaptation. This comprehensive study explores the region's unique blend of mining, quarrying, and manufacturing industries, from the famous slate industry to lesser-known sectors such as textile production and electricity generation. The author delves into the social and cultural context of Gwynedd during its industrial heyday, examining the impact on local communities and the development of a distinct minority language. The book also considers the legacies of industrial housing, churches, and chapels, as well as retailing and consumer goods, within the broader framework of a globalising economy. This engaging volume will appeal to those interested in Gwynedd's history, archaeology, and social science, offering valuable insights into the region's complex past.
