Roofing from Blue BangorLook at any old building and what do you see ???. Blue Bangor Slate Roofs. Schools, Churches, Courthouses, Great Houses, they all have one thing in common - Blue Bangor Slates. It is no accident that such slates were used and are still being used.
Slates and Ports
Quarry slates invariably took their names from the Port of shipment rather than the producing quarry, examples such as Irish Killaloes, (there is no slate quarry in Killaloe) from the Portroe Quarries, Blue Bangor from the Penrhyn Quarry at Bethesda shipped through the port of Bangor in North Wales, Slates from Llanberris valley shipped from Port Dinorwig including Dinorwic and Vivian Quarries, Slates from the Nantlle Valley shipped from Port Caernarfon including Dorothea and Pen-yr-Orsedd Quarries, Slates from Blenau Ffestiniog Valley shipped from the port of Porthmadog including such quarries as Gloddfa Ganol, Oakeley, Votty, Cwt y Bugail and Llechwedd.
