For the tipper. I don't know where in world, but it's RHD and in this great big mine - see little red blob in bottom left. |

Onscreen I did not imagine this could be UK location due to size of quarry (as my 1st thumb), but with 2 English obscurities in the picture it probably has to be. Any ideas what/where - Cornish kaolin/china clay mine?? Or?? |

Thought I'd found this "An NERC (British geological Survey) photo by J.M.Pulsford taken in 1973. It shows working the face of Queyhouse Talc Quarry, near east shore of Loch of Cliff, Unst, Shetland. CAT crawler loader and A-B SR Dumper. Mackay Plant were long standing customers of A-B." from here. Also here. But they're not the same ones. The A-B dumper has FJS 241E plates. Can't tell if it's the same site. |
