@Lancs Lad here’s where the 2 shovels with Loughside quarry on them came from, dad remembers them working away. This is the view from my yard. Plenty of old dumpers etc still there

Honestly not sure, will try make a few enquires for you. It was bought over by FP McCann, so not many of the original workers are left now.
Not sure if they still are, but about 3 years ago I was in the deep part of the quarry and they were still using a wheeled broyt. Have 2 or 3 aveling barford (I think) dumpers still in daily use
