I think there used to be an isometric type map of Dinorwic mines and quarries on the old ME site. Can anyone point me to, or PM me a copy, or something similar please. I'm struggling to make sense of the features and levels due to the sheer size of the place!
Thanks

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dinorwic_Quarry_Map.png gives a vague idea of the principal working areas. However, I guess that if you probably already know that much?

Aerial imagery is obviously no use for underground workings, afraid I can't help with that.

Hope some of that might be useful.

If you get hold of a copy of "Slates to Velinheli", it is often available on ebay, that has a resonable plan of the quarry showing the names and designations of the levels and inclines etc, as well as a lot of other very interesting information.
