The former oil wharf at Weaste, long-abandoned, is being redeveloped as an aggregate terminal. The trees have been cleared, the wharf refurbished and other construction is in progress as seen here.
I am told that the operator of the Mersey dredger 'Admiral Day' has acquired a former Harker barge and plans to use it to bring dredged aggregate up the ship canal to this wharf.
Together with the adjacent Premier Cement wharf, this will be a convenient source of construction materials.
Aggregates form a significant part of the freight on the local railway and have done for many decades. Modern operations mean that the operator carries a loading machine with the wagons to provide flexibility at the destination depots. iPhone 4 Hipstamatic.

The rear concreting.
Damn, that's still a big back yard (we're only 3/4 back to the fence!) that I'll have to maintain.
I guess that just means I can put in a nice big shed! ;-)

Balblair Quarry
This is the Solite Quarry on the Virginia-North Carolina state line. The rocks quarried here are crushed into aggregate. Good fossils occur at this locality - the original finds were on the Virginia side of the border, while the best fossils are on the North Carolina side. The aggregate plant's physical address is in Virginia. Most of the active pit is in North Carolina.
The rocks here are tilted sedimentary rocks of the Cow Branch Formation (Upper Triassic). The unit is part of the Newark Supergroup, a thick, geographically-widespread stratigraphic unit in eastern America. It is Late Triassic to Early Jurassic in age and represents sediments and some lava flows that filled up old rift valleys roughly paralleling the modern-day Eastern Seaboard of America. The rift basins formed in the Triassic when the ancient Pangaea supercontinent attempted to break apart, but failed. A successful breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Jurassic. Most of the basin-filling rocks are terrestrial redbeds - hematite-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale, deposited in nonmarine environments.
