EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the historic village of Corris in North Wales, the rugged beauty of the Welsh landscape is on full display. At the heart of the scene, a charming chapel stands proudly amidst the rolling hills, its whitewashed walls a stark contrast to the surrounding greenery. In the foreground, a fence made of slate slabs adds an industrial touch to the idyllic setting. This quaint village, located in the county of Merionethshire within the larger region of Gwynedd, has a rich history deeply intertwined with the mining and quarrying industries. Slate, a naturally occurring rock that is easily split into thin, flat pieces, has been a valuable resource in this area for centuries. The men who worked in the local quarries would have used slate to construct fences like the one depicted here, as well as for roofing, flooring, and various other building materials. The industrious spirit of the community is further underscored by the presence of the chapel, which likely served as a place of solace and community for the workers and their families. The chapel's stately presence in the midst of the rustic landscape is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Corris, who have weathered the challenges of the past and preserved their unique heritage for future generations to appreciate. This scene invites us to reflect on the rich history of this region and the people who have shaped its character. From the rugged terrain and natural resources that have defined the area for centuries, to the industrious spirit of the men and women who have worked the land and extracted its riches, the village of Corris and its stunning landscapes continue to captivate and inspire.
