Porthmadog played a crucial role in the development of the slate industry and the culture that it nurtured, so it is very fitting that this is celebrated in the four artwork pillars that are inspired by the heritage of the town. Together, the pillars create a sculpture trail around the town that reveals the history of each location and the specifics of each site. Perhaps the best place to start is the Harbour, the centrepiece of the series.
The World Heritage Site status is being used to regenerate and empower Gwynedd's slate communities; we are confident that it will act as a catalyst for employment, skills, better destinations and community action.
The work undertaken by the LleCHI Project has been integral in raising awareness of how wonderful our slate communities are. There is a new energy and excitement in how we share our stories, with some adults and children learning new things about their heritage, and others contributing their ideas to community regeneration.

Wales was the world’s first industrial nation, and industrial heritage is an important part of Welsh history. The slate industry is iconic to north Wales. It played a vitally important role in forming our social and economic landscape. Its product is one of the most important single source building resources.
