Here are some photos of a visit I paid to Weardale with BigLoada. Weardale cement works closed a while back and was promptly flattened. Little remains except a bridge which carried the conveyor from the quarry over the river Wear. The quarry, however, seems to be still live. On with the pics.

A fat cow!
Old conveyor route.

BigLoada has some cracking shots from the day. Hopefully he will add more to this thread.

I am aware that other counties have masses of quarries and mines just aching to be done but they are just too far. Weardale is a particular "hotspot" up here though - abandoned lead/zinc and flourite mines abound and I very much doubt I'll run out of stuff. Thanks for the offer though.
