"Walter Derwent's" earthmover and plant photographs

[The Tractor Twitcher]

Whilst tidying out one of my desk draws I found these three photographs Dad took a few years back from Coldstones Quarry close to the little village of Greenhow in Nidderdale, reputedly one of England's highest situated quarries. Dad worked here when he was much younger bulldozing overburden with a Caterpillar D7.

Time for a small update in this topic. I caught up with my Dad crushing stone for a new yard at a local dairy farm i'd previously taken some silaging photographs at.

Here's a couple of other machines I also found sat in the farm yard.

Thanks ever so much Rich, don't add to this topic all that much anymore so it was nice capture these machines in action.

Haven't seen many of these Terex handlers before either, the same family run an artciulated example too at another farm.

I'm assuming the old building was previously a mill, however I will ask for certain the next time I visit them. With harvest just around the corner i'm planning on capturing a lot more of thier machinery in action.
