History stolen from http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=54636&highlight=blackley which is Kooks report

The company who used this place was 'Wilkinsons of Elland', started by Samuel Wilkinson and his sons Fred and Arthur were managers. In 1983 the company was taken over by Butterly Bricks and the site closed in 1985.

The quarry is now used as a land fill site and some storage of clay for 'W.T.Knowles'
Visited with Mr Beady and Badbatz after an interest day roaming yorkshire looking for some explores, few interesting moments including me chatting up a blonde at a bust stop with the immortal "scuse me but do you know what time it is" chat up line and everyone craning to look every time we drove past a pretty girl. and an 8 year old.

Cheers Folks :)

(also apologies for the neck ache you may now have, im trying to stop the tilting i really am :banghead)
 
That's an absolutely cracking shot. Nice looking site. Good stuff, Misfit. :)

thankyou :) i was worried it would be put down cos its a cliched exploring shot "broken glass on window" but so far its gone down well :)

thanks to the rest of you too:)
 
That's just gorgeous.
And the snail graf is modern art at it's finest - the artist deserves recognition that will probably never come :(

thanks man
i agree, some graffiti is spectacular, but the cunts thats just scribble there name in marker ruin it for them :(
