Within Gwynedd, industry, in the shape of slate quarrying, and to a lesser extent, working for stone and minerals, developed in a patchy way, comparatively late, within a landscape and a culture that was to remain in many ways rural. Many quarrymen and miners preferred to remain on the land, and made their homes in dispersed cottage settlements. Others established themselves in entirely new towns, which are now recognised as outstanding examples of nineteenth-century industrial communities. The following article discusses the origins, growth and morphology of four of these towns, and argues that their distinctive evolution is the result of the structure of local landownership in the course of the nineteenth century.
