Slabs like that are worth good money here. Make excellent clapper bridges on the moor. Farmer I know has a lovely 10ft span one. Sold it for 4k I think

that one was used for a bridge out to an island on a fishing lake ... we dug up a couple like it doing the excavations there and all went to the same use

Nothing! Cos it's not granite sadly. Transport might kill it too!

As said 90s not ideal as will make it less accessible, but is you need to and the offset is too great then just crank it over to reduce the difference in invert levels

Couple of 45s did the trick nicely with them cranked a bit. Bedded in compacted 803 with about 10" over the top of them too so should be fine for the odd car/tractor. Few stones in the way too .

Did put a helicopter flight simulator up onto a mezzanine floor through a gap in the wall that didn’t have much clearance as they didn’t allow for the packing crate. They told me after it was something like £500k

That sounds similar to my first tele porter driving lesson when I was 17. Artic load of Spanish tiles....n I'd never driven one before....thankfully I didn't break any but from that experience It never put me off driving one again.
