Thanks for that Dave, so I must be doing something right then!
These silos at the NE end of Beeston Station are intended to be the Blue Circle cement terminal, now demolished and used for housing. (But its still shown on PlanningPortal/NOMAD maps) I can't remember if there were actually large silos like these there, but I'll eventually get round to cloning these to have a Blue Circle logo on them.Image 260 – Beeston Station looking north. Are those silos gone now, or are they in the wrong place and should be south of the station? Or again, where there silos both ends?
RMC Plant (Ready Mixed Concrete) would have been there in the 60s, though I'm (just) too young to remember them! If you check out the NOMAD maps, there is a kink in the railway boundary fence that is exactly the right place for a private siding, so I've included an isolated piece of track in my layout. I think the dark feature in the shadow of the tall tree may even be a gatepost for the siding gateImage 263 – Looking towards the extraction plant (if this is what it is called) at Attenborough pit. BTW, was this around in the 60s?
Does this help?Image 257 – Pass. You’ll have to enlighten me on this.
