IIRC this is a mid/late 80’s shot of a Tarmac Roadstone paviour laying an experimental (F O C 
) layer of black top in the depot at Milnthorpe for wear testing,IIRC it came from a Plant in the N.east and I believe it was about 100ton from memory.Tarmac sent someone regularly to check the wear and it did very well as I recall.Cheers Bewick

Today’s tarmac doesn’t last like that stuff Dennis. There is supposed to be quality control and to BSI standard etc. The stuff is rubbish these days,and the way it is laid leaves a lot to be desired.

It sure was hard wearing Dave,and Tarmac chose where to lay it after first watching the way the artics entered and left the depot,they were quite a “mixed” bunch of tippers that brought the material,that one in the shot looks like it was an ex Tilcon,but it defo was a Tarmac Roadstone project. Cheers Dennis.PS there was another one waiting to tip just on the left of the shot.

There were no Tarmac owned quarries in this area in those days Dennis. All the quarries in this area, and there were more then, had tarmac plants and supplied tarmac over a large part of the Midlands and Wales, as well as the Gloucester to Bristol area. When the motorways were being built,as you know,tarmac was supplied by numerous quarries to keep the job going.
Cheers Dave.
