Men at Penyrorsedd Slate Quarry, North Wales

A group of men striking a bargain at the Penyrorsedd Slate Quarry, Nantlle Valley, Caernarvonshire (now Gwynedd), North Wales. Not all slate is of the same quality, and you never know until you start splitting the blocks, so the splitters ballot, either with straws of different lengths or with marked cards, for who shall have each bargain of slate blocks
