The focal point is an impressive Henry Cosney steam lorry, standing tall amidst the rugged landscape of Rivelin Glen Quarry. This snapshot from history showcases the remarkable industrial prowess that defined this region during that time. The steam lorry, a testament to engineering ingenuity, exudes power and strength as it rests against a backdrop of towering quarry walls. Its robust wheels and sturdy frame hint at its ability to transport heavy loads across challenging terrains. One can almost imagine the rhythmic chugging sound emitted by its powerful engine as it traversed through these quarries.
