MODERN QUARRYING
January - February 2016
LAST BLAST
Blast from the past
As
MQ
’s focus this issue has been a bit of
a blast from the past, I’ve come across a
collection of old photographs and news-
paper cuttings given to me many years
ago, which would be fun to share.
MQ
is always interested in ‘old’ photographs
and memories. If you have any to share,
we can make this a regular feature in the
magazine. Any photographs sent to me
will be looked after and returned, other-
wise scan them and email them to me
directly. The ones displayed here are
mostly black and white or very faded
colour images. Let me know if you rec-
ognise any of these.
