Some of the villages of Dyffryn Nantlle came into being when quarrying for slate in local quarries began at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century. The demand for these continued for a century and a half, and although the main quarries have closed there is now considerable call for slate waste to make roads and for garden use.
