Round Barn Quarry
I only found out recently that this place existed so I thought a mooch was in order.
Situated on the Roman Road between Darwen and Edgworth the spoil heaps dominate the horizon and was obviously a very big operation once over. I haven't been able to find any history of the place, all I know is that it used to be a sandstone quarry but isn't any more. :) Anyhoo, a few pics. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry016.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry001.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry004.jpg Some of the underground stuff. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry006.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry007.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry009.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry010.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry013.jpg Then I came across this http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nQuarry014.jpg AAARRGG!!! Witches at work...I'm out of here.:D I wouldn't travel mega miles too see this place, but worth a look if you're in the area. |

I was going to go and get some shots of this place, I've been meaning to go back for a while.
