Quarry hits back against intruders with hi tech

CCTV POWERED BY AI INSTALLED AT FAMOUS SITE

- By OWEN HUGHES Chief Reporter

CCTV has been installed at a famous quarry after trespassing incidents. Vivian Quarry, on the edge of Eryri, is part of the vast Dinorwig slate complex, once the world's second largest slate mine.

Since the Gwynedd slate quarry closed in 1960, rain and underwater springs have filled it 19 metres deep, covering old buildings and mining equipment.

The site is now an extraordi-nary time capsule for an indus-try that once roofed the world and there is a dive attraction there run by Scuba Scape.

But they have hit out at peo-ple entering the site for “illegal” fishing.
