|  This road with its twists and turns should be relatively easy to find as it shouldn't have changed much over the years. | Class31 | Monday 6th of October 2014 12:12:45 PM | 
| It wasn't that easy to find. It took me almost a month of poring over maps of Yorkshire, not all the time of course, but returning from time to time. This is the A635 | Class31 | Saturday 1st of November 2014 10:32:56 AM |

| A bit of an educated(?) guess but I’m thinking that this is an open-cast coal mine site.  My reasoning is: (a) Appearance in some of this set of images of a dark seam well below the original ground level and this dark material (coal?) being removed by lorry; (b) LAING contractors sign on some earthmoving equipment (John Laing & Son had a contract for some such work round about 1948. The location is far less certain but one POSSIBLE area is Heanor/ Carrington Farm/ Shipley Hall/ Mapperley/ Smalley area, west of Nottingham. There were a few open-cast mines being worked here in the late 1940s. One of them – Carrington – used a very large dragline excavator, on two ‘feet’ rather than caterpillar tracks. To see these, search BritainfromAbove using “opencast” as the key word. |   ewnmcg | Tuesday 9th of September 2014 10:37:57 PM |
