Rhiwbach Slate Quarry Its History and Development, Griff R Jones, A4, 212pp
The Author has chronicled Rhiwbachs history from its stirrings in the 18th Century to its closure. This is an excellent production which includes colour and B&W photos, excellent plans and details of surface underground. It is a suitable follow up to his book on Hafodlas Slate Quarry.
I fully recommend this volume
