andrepa ◊ 2013-03-08 22:26	there is kind of tractor loader called Ford 655 http://www.mascus.at/baumaschinen/baggerlader/ford-655/8n8w9n7n.html it would be 655A if with backhoe for e.g. http://www.agrimanuals.com/ford-655a-backhoe-loader-brochure-1383-p.asp -- Last edit: 2013-03-08 22:27:57

But not much plant or buildings as might be expected for an active quarry apart from just the few small vehicles involved with filming, although this might have been filmed in a small part away from main workings. Could well be close to the A835, but I guess could be a few quarries in the area - good stone for many purposes - road-building, harbours, hydro-electric construction etc. Sign below shown in footage (see 3rd thumb on Alvis page) but may not be genuine or related to this particular site. And the Ford is a backhoe -- Last edit: 2013-03-08 23:09:43
