Braichgoch slate mine (often called Braich Goch quarry) was a large slate mine located in Corris Uchaf, north Wales. It was worked continuously from 1787 until closure in 1970 (some sources give 1971), apart from a hiatus in the 1900s. Most of the surface workings of the quarry were removed as part of a road widening and landscaping scheme in 1983.

  • Braichgoch slate mine (often called Braich Goch quarry) was a large slate mine located in Corris Uchaf, north Wales. It was worked continuously from 1787 until closure in 1970 (some sources give 1971), apart from a hiatus in the 1900s. Most of the surface workings of the quarry were removed as part of a road widening and landscaping scheme in 1983. Part of the underground mine workings are now open to the public as the King Arthur's Labyrinth tourist attraction (a fantasy journey into Arthurian legend taking place on one level of the mine) and the newly launched Corris Mine Explorers. Through the subterranean Corris Mine Explorer expeditions, the working lives of 19th-century Welsh miners can be seen firsthand. Equipment and discarded personal belongings remain untouched as relics of Welsh industry. The landscaped site above ground is also home to the Corris Craft Centre, a retail site from which several craft based shops operate. (en)
  • Die Braich Goch Slate Mine ist ein ehemaliges Bergwerk für Schwarzschiefer bei Corris Uchaf, Machynlleth, Powys in Wales. Ein offener Abbau begann etwa 1800. Ab 1836 wurden verschiedene Stollen in den Berg getrieben. Nachdem die Eisenbahnstrecke Corris Railway 1859 eröffnet worden war, wurde die Braich Goch Slate Quarry Co. 1864 gegründet. Auf ihrem Höhepunkt 1878 förderten 250 Beschäftigte rund 7000 Tonnen Platten und Dachschiefer. Das Unternehmen ging 1906 in Konkurs. Es folgten sechs weitere Betreiber, bis die Mine 1970 endgültig stillgelegt wurde. Insgesamt wurde auf sieben Sohlen Abbau betrieben. Einige Teile stehen heute Besuchern offen. (de)
