Norton, near Malton N Yorks
This place is literally 10 mins walk from me, and whilst viewing Google Earth in the week, I spotted what seemed to be like an old truck sitting in the quarry. Old trucks being one of my interests, why not combine it with a wee look see I thought.

Whitestone quarry, in Norton near Malton North Yorks, is a relatviely small limestone quarry, which also has begun to receive landfill, fortunately in the from of rubble and topsoil rather than non biodegradable sh*te. This is very much a live site, so in stealth mode I entered in a rather long way round, christ that limestone mud gets everywhere:mrgreen:

Anyway, enough of the idle banter, on with the photos:

Did you get anymore pics of the first lorry ? I'd be interested in seeing a bigger picture of it. Was it a tipper ?
 
You can't beat a good quarry. Good effort getting in and getting the shots. Love the RB30!

Thaks all for your kind comments, it was just a great morning out.

Bonkey Dollocks, it was another tanker, but the tanker body seemed newer than the cab and chassis, so perhaps in the past it was a tipper, here is a full picture of it:

It was only when I got back and uploaded my photos to the PC did I notice that the 'Leyland' lettering was mainly on the ground below the truck, never noticed it whilst I was stood there - 0 out of 10 for observancy!!
