A little while ago I took a wander around after a bit of research into likely quarries for exploring. The recce yielded this beauty of a limestone quarry and processing plant which has been out of use for some time but is virtually untouched. A real joy for anyone who likes masses of walkways to climb up with big crushers and conveyors aplenty. A return was quickly planned and lots of fun was had checking it out. The views from up the conveyor towers are excellent. I took far too many photos.
