Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Penrhyn Slate Quarries like this:

Penrhyn Slate Quarries, Carnarvonshire, in 8. vicinity of Bethesda; the quarries are very extensive, giving employment to several thousand hands, and the slate is conveyed to Pert Penrhyn at Bangor.
