has gloss | eng: Burlington Slate Quarries are located near Kirkby-in-Furness in Cumbria, England. The quarries have produced a characteristic blue grey slate for hundreds of years with large scale production starting in the early nineteenth century when the Cavendish family organised small scale quarrying activities by local farmers into a larger group of quarries which then attracted others into the area to live and work in the quarries from the 1820s onwards. |
