So this is an old quarry complex complete with incline, kilns and old workers cottage (there's also an attached railway and a larger quarry further down, but they're for another day!).
From what I know it closed in the 60's/70's, but not before converting the old incline into a paved over area for trucks to go up and down on (madness!).
Apologies for the amount of (and low quality camera phone) photos, but there's quite a lot to show.
Hopefully a few of you might find this interesting!

The last structure in the quarry is the old stone shoot for the carriages

The stairs were missing, but luckily I was tall enough to poke the camera up there

Apparently this was an old stone hopper?

Looking up the incline, about half way down

A bit of the old pully (they just concreted over the top of it)

Some of the old concrete shuttering left in place

Down shoot

A different type of down shoot, with a rattling handle left in place

A much older section, that has been sealed off
Thanks for looking
