Bangor University - Quarrymen Subscription Book, 1885-6 [front cover, image 1 of 13]

Description

The following images show selected pages from the North Wales College, Penrhyn Quarrymen Subscription Book, 1885-6. Despite the financial hardships suffered by the quarrymen and their families, they responded magnificently to the appeals to support the foundation of the University College of North Wales, Bangor. Each gallery or 'ponc' in the Penrhyn Quarry established its own committee in order to collect monthly subscriptions. Details of the payments made by the quarry officials and the quarrymen who worked the 'Lord' and 'Sebastopol' galleries are shown here.
