Hi Dave i met you at the 2023 Rushden Station Model show, i had a battle of Britain display, Rugby is my home town, the large round tank contains slurry pumped from Dunstable to Rugby to make the cement now that the quarry has finished. Excellent video's Dave,
Cheers Purple, yes great scenes from Rugby Cement, remember their Lorries, orange weren’t they? The Station used to be busy and the Test House just still in use as I remember. All the best for now and thank Jamie for the soundz.
Interesting to see where they are dumping the spoil, you can see why they chose that site, its a massive hole to fill, i hope they do landscape it and not just leave it, we will see.
I used that footpath near the start of the video to cycle to work up until 1964. I think I would also have used to two tunnels at the start of the video to get to and from Newbold Road. The two quarries had been worked out by then. I think the circular tank at about seven minutes is was the tank with a central mounted stirring arm. It received slurry through a pipe big enough to crawl through. Which I remember being installed. It came from workings the other side of the A5.
Why was the Land Rover discovery fenced off I need the windscreen, the music reminds me of jean Michel jah from the early 1980s, his China album was cool, fantastic job your skills are much appreciated

Yes Jamie Brady tells me the pipeline is very long. He also tells me that a pump station for it is at Gayton near Northampton

There is quite a few down there and I think they belong to the little log cabin at the bottom of the road
They are also dumping the waste in the old Barrington cement works, another quarry owned by rugby cement.🤔
Sorry to sound stupid but where is Old Barrington Cement Works
Are they gonna convert it into a golf Course ??
Urghh I hope not. 😉
Hi Dave. Southam cement works used to be just as good. I think its closed now. caroline.
I wonder if it's any good to walk around. I'll have a look at the maps
the local railway tracks are being turned into walking and cycle routes. caroline. We walked to the works from the canal about a mile away. caroline.
A “muck depot”.
Yh proper full of s*** 😄 🤣
