This was doomed to failure from day one 🙂

As part of the public enquiry in to ICI opening Old Moor Quarry the company was ask if it would be posible to mine the stone. It was an exorcize (no I haven't mis-spelled), they wanted to kill the idea :angel:

So the limestone mine was started, opening from the quarry's 2nd lift it extended about 75 yards in to the worse bedded stone they could find 😮

It was a joke from start to finish 🙂
