I have to confess I had the guy linked with the BBC in my mind.<br /><br />Roger - the Winding House was really the engine house. <br /><br />Outside there was a large winding wheel like a colliery pit wheel laid flat on the ground. This has gone, but you can still see where it was.<br /><br />It was only required to haul loaded trucks up from the canal of course. Trucks loaded with stone from the quarries went down under their own weight and at the same time pulled up the empty trucks.<br /><br />There were one or two runaways as you might imagine.<br /><br /><br /> A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-44608410379118644572012-08-14T17:28:28.945+01:002012-08-14T17:28:28.945+01:00Did the entire winding apparatus fit in there?

For near on twenty years he has been doing well out of these. In this case good luck to him in that these programmes have brough archaeology to the screen with a breadth and sometimes depth that have taught us a lot. On the Sky documentaries the repeats are a regular and often interesting to return to. Certainly, there are critics but on the whole it has been a valuable contribution. Also, the style of the programmes make a welcome change from the bossy boots this is what you must think too often found in BBC items.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.com
