Crushing and grading

Crushing and grading
The long disused stone handling plant at Crich quarry. Opened by The Clay Cross Company in the 19th century and supplying limekilns near Ambergate via a metre gauge railway, the quarry closed in 1958. Reopening for roadstone occurred in the 1960's and it was operated by RMC and Tarmacbefore passing to Aggregate Industries ownership in 2000. Final closure came in 2010.

Such pathos here. It is strange how this dereliction may on the one hand be condemned as an eyesore, but on the other may be revered as a monument to the past and to the workers who toiled there. A real paradox.

Very well captured in its faded glory.
