I've only seen it used for roofing here in these parts, and very rarely at that. Posted by SnakeCorp 5/31/2005 3:26 PM | remove   Slate is a very durable material; when used for roofing it can last for a couple of hundred years. Posted by TurboZutek 5/31/2005 4:04 PM | remove   Yep! A lot of the slates on Gartloch's roof are original... And Welsh slate is even more hardcore I'm told. Posted by IIVQ 8/28/2005 9:24 PM | remove   What did this gear wind? Posted by SnakeCorp 8/29/2005 11:43 AM | remove   It was used to haul the slate wagons up/down from the quarry level to the narrow gauge lines, which are about 50feet below.
