The Abercwmeiddaw quarry was a slate quarry that operated between the 1840s[1] and 1938.[2] It was located at Corris Uchaf about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Machynlleth, in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The quarry was connected to the Corris Railway via the Upper Corris Tramway which carried its products to the Cambrian Railways at Machynlleth for distribution.[3]
