Re: Where did all the Slate used on roofs come from

From just one quarry 'At least twelve ship loads a month were sailing to Liverpool'.

The History of Quarrying - The Industrial Revolution in the Slate Industry

Which I suppose could easily have been transported here, via the Leeds/Liverpool canal.
