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)

A much older section, that has been sealed off

Thanks for looking
 
looks a good one, maybe a return when the snow has gone and a look at the railway, thanks for sharing
 
I would of done it all in one day, but there's still a foot of snow covering things over here!
