This has got to be classed as an outstanding industrial relic. The Smiths of Rodley steam crane at Jumbles Quarry, Lancashire, was used to load trains of eight to ten wagons on a steam hauled three foot narrow gauge railway. This transported aggregate and facing stone four and a half miles to the Stocks reservoir construction site, in the 1920s.(ref:oldindustrial....) Having been here for over 100 years, it is still pretty much intact. You can also see quite a bit of the old track, including the almost now rotted sleepers. The area is a beautiful place set in the Trough of Bowland, a place of outstanding natural beauty. If you want to experience a lovely relaxing area, then this is the place to be. It sees very few people, so it is a great place to unwind, and listen to mother nature.
