The Cemex Manchester Concrete Plant is located in Salford. It supplies both Screed and Readymix Concrete to builders and businesses in the Manchester and wider Greater Manchester region. There is also an asphalt plant on the site. Stone can be delivered by train into the building across the rails.

This little bothy type building caught my eye as I was walking in Lyme Handley this afternoon. To the right (out of frame) is a small field barn at the edge of the walled yard. The bothy roof is formed of lovely gritstone flags and the ridge pieces are all hand shaped from gritstone. The dressed quoins are a nice touch too.

Rosedale East ironstone mine opened in 1864 and the far bank of four calciners was erected immediately. Stone was mined through a series of drifts in the hillside above and these were ventilated by the chimney in the right background. Mining ended here in 1926 and then the calcining dust was removed from in front of the kilns. The derelict building in the foreground appears to have been a cabin associated with the railway serving the mines.

I assume this to have been the harbourmaster's office at Brancaster Staithe. It overlooks the fishing quay.

The Roystone Grange limestone quarry was developed around the time of the First World War and by 1920 was using compressed air drills to assist in extracting the stone. This compressor house to supply the air was erected some distance away where there was a spring that supplied water to cool the oil engines and compressors. The structure has been secured and the roof is sound but it stands empty and unused.

The Band Room at Low Mill, Farndale, North Yorkshire, was built for the local silver band in the 1920s. It now serves as a village hall and also as a 100 seat concert venue which sees a wide range of top acts from the folk, country, roots and Americana scene.
