Thanks everyone for the location/structure details - we'll update the catalogue with the new information and post the updated record here in due course. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader	Katy Whitaker	Friday 1st of November 2013 03:04:42 PM
On the map there is said to be a Travelling Crane crossing the site almost east to west. They call these Blondins in the North Wales slate quarries. I can just make out the wire and it's shadow on the quarry floor.	Class31	Tuesday 3rd of September 2013 09:36:34 AM
See Old-Maps 1916-7 1:2500 Leicestershire which matches what we see in the photo.	Class31	Tuesday 3rd of September 2013 09:32:28 AM
View is looking west.	Class31	Tuesday 3rd of September 2013 09:30:20 AM
Eureka. Not a million miles away from the other photos in this group. Research time 5 minutes which makes up for the less productive time. This is Narborough Quarry.	Class31	Tuesday 3rd of September 2013 09:29:15 AM
The territory seems very much the same as that in EPW08947. These quarries would appear to be producing some thing from occasional out crops of rock in the same area. Any offers?	Maurice	Saturday 15th of June 2013 07:31:23 AM
Obviously a quarry, but where????	John Duffield	Saturday 15th of June 2013 07:28:13 AM
