Another very interesting video! I lived in E. Leicestershire in the 1950s and 60s and visited the Pilton Quarries quite a bit. It was a rather quaint establishment unlike the bigger E. Leics. and Rutland quarries. There was still a disc and crossbar signal which controlled access to the sidings from the quarry. It is a place I have not even thought about for a long time. I must look for the slides I took to see which locos were active at the time. Thanks for reminding me of those days of my youth!
Nice one Matt. Plenty of food for thought here for myself. I recently brought an Eric Tonks book, on part of Northamptonshire, because I wanted to read up on a place I’d been to.
