On 15th April 2005 and for the first time in over 150 years, The Delabole Slate Company returned to one family ownership.
In the 1830's the quarry was owned by the Bake family of Tynes in the parish of St.Teath. Now, after buying out the minority shareholder, the Hamilton family have 100% ownership, and Delabole Slate has made the historic return to being a Cornish and family owned business.
With Levi and Rudi Hamilton joining the business the next generation is already in place |
