DESCRIPTION: \n\n Exploring The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales: A Celeb
 ration of Wales’s New World Heritage Site \n\n by Louise Barker \n\n \n\
 n On 28 July 2021 The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales became a UNESCO W
 orld Heritage Site. The successful Nomination bid was led by Gwynedd Counc
 il on behalf of a partnership which includes the Royal Commission and was 
 the culmination of over 15 years hard work.   \n\n The Nomination document
  emphasized the importance of culture as well as industry\, specifying: 't
 he Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales represents an exceptional example of
  an industrial cultural landscape that was profoundly shaped by large-scal
 e slate quarrying and underground mining\, and by the working and transpor
 t of slate for national and international markets.' \n\n This is the time 
 to celebrate the heritage of the Northwest Wales slate industry in all its
  rich diversity. The communities of the Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales
  continue to be innovative\, and this designation as a World Heritage site
  recognises the distinctive cultural landscape of Welsh slate and its cont
 ribution to world history. \n\n The Royal Commission’s extensive archive
  and expertise\, led by senior archaeologist Louise Barker\, made a fundam
 ental contribution to the nomination document.  Join Louise on a virtual v
 isit of the new World Heritage Site\, learn about the places and monuments
  that form it\, and its contribution to the World in our next virtual lect
 ure\, on Thursday 7th October at 5pm.  \n\n 7 October\, 2021\, 5pm \n\n Th
 is free lecture will be delivered via Zoom and the invitation will be sent
