Double Arches - November 1966
Another general view of the 'top' pit with the buildings at Overend Green Farm visible behind the trees.
At top left a Ruston Bucyrus 24RB appears not to be working, presumably undergoing maintenance.
Below that, another 24RB dragline excavator is loading clay overburden into a Muir-Hill MkII Camill dumptruck.
Lower still, in the pit itself, a Priestman Wolf faceshovel is ready to load the ten wagons being propelled towards it from the right of the photo.
