Remarkable craftsmanship and a slice of history at this historic slate works
Not so many manufacturing businesses founded in the mid-19th century are still around today, but through its ability to adapt Inigo Jones is still a thriving business based on the unique qualities of North Wales slate.
Originally the company produced school writing plates until these were usurped by paper and the enterprise has had to adapt to many changes of that type over the past century and a half. Today they offer a wide range of slate gifts, garden items, nameplates and jewellery which can also be purchased via their online shop.
The popular, self-guided tour of the works is both educational and fun. A video presentation is followed by a tour through the workshops with a personal taped commentary. Tours are available from 9 until 5 daily except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
Open daily including weekends from 10am to 5pm except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.
