Slate was quarried in a small way at Bellstone Quarry from the 1820s, while the now flooded Rosebush Quarry was opened in 1842.

At the peak of the boom years the quarries employed 100 men. Nowadays you will find some nice trails to walk among the heaps of slate, and a cool (or perhaps, cold) wild swimming spot.
