Brassington Moor quarry

I remember when that quarry was first started in the late 1970’s, they temporarily diverted the Fenny Bentley/Grangemill road while they dug the feeder tunnel underneath it from the ‘old’ quarry where the fixed plant and weighbridge is situated. They also have another quarry above Ryder Point on the Brassington/Wirksworth road.

Looks like the smaller hole to the left of the out bridge ?

Wouldn’t know about that part Dan, must be 14+ years since I ventured into Longcliffe. Still getting therapy for the ‘experience’ of it though! 
Pete.
Good old Bob Sellers stayed with his tried and trusted secondhand Fodens while his ex partner Tony Kent went for a brand new fleet of articulated tanks, cant remember now whether they were Scanias or MAN’s that he bought?
