hello l.kezz.
The 777b in one of your photos is the one that i moved recently from U K coal lodge house i think,it is now earning its keep at nant helen in south wales whilst walters are awaiting a batch of new replacements.the engine compartment was soundproofed ,when i was there it looked like a very well run site with a good access road which is not the norm these days .
regards graham.

Yeh the access road into lodge house is pretty good! Nicely laid out! Pretty good site if im honest.....i need to get down there before the worse winter weather sets in!

Good shots Luke
I see this site every day when I go for a walk in my lunchbreak - I work on Heanor Gate Industrial Estate and can often hear dozer tracks clanking first thing in the morning

All the best

For me that would be the perfect wake up call! Dozers tracks clanking and knocking is my favourite sound ever! Closely follwed by a heavy excavator and the dulcet tones of a heavy hammer to do with it! haha

[L.Kezz]

Oh do you Ian, how good that is, when i walked to site i can hear the dozer tracks from ages away, I have a lot of photos from the site but im still going through them to see whhich ones to put on, theres so many to choose from
