I never drove a tipper Pete,I did go to two quarries int 60s and 70s,one was Dene near Cromford with a load of tar from Avenue plant Wingerworth when I worked for A E Evans and the other was somewhere off the Ashbourne road,the one where you turn right from Bakewell after Haddon Hall,can’t recall it’s name,it was a piece of machinery from T W Ward,when I was on general haulage out of Sheffield,late 60s.
I remember to this day the blasting explosions as a kid from different quarries,that’s when Eyam Quarries and Darlton were going.
Am I showing my age?
