Flooded slate quarry

Flooded slate quarry
The quarry was started in 1745 and the introduction of steam pumps in 1842 meant they could quarry to a depth of 250 feet below sea level with only a narrow wall of rock holding back the sea, This wall was breached during a storm in 1881 and brought end to slate quarrying at Ellenabeich. Isle of Seil.

Recommend a large view,

Really appreciated Rosa, not convinced I would have been happy working 250 feet down with the sea at risk of breaking in.

lovely photo. The last time I was there it was a wet and windy day and my girlfriend sensibly wouldn't get out if the car BUT she missed seeing a dog Otter playing about in the waves :-)
