The Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known for its stunning landscape and unique slate. Tilberthwaite quarry, near Coniston, sits high in the hills with scenic views. Accessible only by a rugged track, requiring four-wheel drive, it's one of the few independent slate quarries left.

Passing down intimate knowledge of the quarry and its raw slate is a family tradition. The small-scale production ensures top-quality hard, green slate with unique markings, revealing its geological history from the Late Ordovician period, around 450 million years ago.

Tradition and craftsmanship are paramount, using only traditional tools and machinery. No computers or CNC controlled cutters are used in the workshops. The primary saw dates back to the 1930s, and the Jenny Lin, for polishing the slate, to the early 1960s—both in operation every single working day.
