I did a job when I was 17 running soil with a tractor n trailer from tor side car park and tipping on the access rd to the sub station in the above picture ,and still a good sandwich in the lay by at ValsI remember going by train from Sheffield Victoria to Ashburys which was the station for Belle Vue,before the line was electrified in 1954. Does that make me an old chuff?
At one time you could turn off the A628 and go to Glossop via the side of the reservoir,over the Torside level crossing,with a wagon,but I expect there’s a weight limit now.Morning Chris,
A pic of Torside Level Crossing, not a very good road in a van never mind a lorry Chris! Cheer’s Pete
Edit,It looks like there is no watter in the reservoir Chris!
Nice photo Pete,probably taken in 1975 or 1976 when that drought was on. I used it a couple of times with an 8-legger as we had a drop at BXL Barnsley then one at either Charlesworth near Glossop or Bollington when on BP Saltend job in 1970.
