I visited Barlands quarry today on my way to do a reccy at swansea airport. The quarry has had bronze age finds over the years and has become popular with climbers since closing. Wayne

Is that the weigh bridge in the first pic? It's gorgeous...I thought it was a piece of decorative paving at first! :mrgreen: Never seen one like that before.
Fabulous quarry, Wayne. :)
 
I went in there once years ago, when it was open. used to pass it every day on the way to school. let me know next time you'r out that way, I 'd love to tag along.:)
 
It was well worth visiting about 15 years ago just after it closed. Lots of machinery like dumpers, movers and dragline excavators were left onsite and the stoneworking chutes and processing rooms & buildings were still standing. From memory the only building left today is power room that you captured and the explosives store.

Nice pictures.
