Dinorwic Quarry Barracks and 'A' Incline is a post-medieval and modern industrial complex located in Conwy, Wales, associated with the large-scale slate quarrying operations at Dinorwig. The barracks provided accommodation for the workforce engaged in slate extraction and processing during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reflecting the substantial labour demands of the quarry. The 'A' Incline represents the infrastructure developed to transport slate and materials across the steep terrain of the quarry site, employing engineering solutions typical of Victorian industrial Wales. The remains constitute an important record of the industrial heritage and working conditions of slate quarry communities in North Wales during the period of the industry's major expansion and operation.
