Scree Slope

Cold but sunny walk through part of Rosebush Quarry.

Rosebush quarry was a modest but locally significant mining operation in the Welsh slate industry.

Quarrying at Rosebush began in 1842 and continued until the end of the century.

The quarry supplied slate for the roof of Westminster Palace.

Slate was ferried around the county by the old railway; some was taken to Fishguard via the Rosebush and Fishguard Railway to be shipped abroad.
