FOLLOWING the success of the ‘200 years of an island community’ display, Slate Islands Heritage Trust is sponsoring another exhibition in Seil Island Hall from April 21-25.
The two areas of special interest are the Rollo factory in Ellenabeich and Balvicar Quarries, the last workings in the Slate Islands, which closed in 1966. The trust is appealing for any information, photographs or personal memories of either of these subjects.
One of the curators, Ron Hetherington, said: ‘We’ve already received some excellent photographs of the workforce and the workings at Balvicar from Hugh MacLeod, whose father and grandfather were both foreman in the quarries. Also, personal recollections of working there from Hugh McQueen, who along with other Luing men transferred to Balvicar when the Cullipool quarry closed. Information and photographs have also been provided by Drew Connelly, a trust volunteer, who worked for a while at the Rollo factory.
