MOUNTSORREL QUARRY & SWITHLAND RESERVOIR + BONUS CLIP 4K DJI MINI 4 PRO DRONE 21ST JULY 2024

Описание: Mountsorrel Quarry is a granite quarry, locally and nationally renowned for its distinctive pink rock, which is in high demand for some of the country’s biggest construction projects.

Located at the heart of the UK near Loughborough in Leicestershire, the quarry is ideally positioned to send large volumes of stone for construction projects that help to keep the UK thriving.

Swithland Reservoir
The reservoir, built around 1896, lies just south of Quorn, and is about a mile long by half a mile wide. The Great Central Railway divides the reservoir into two; the northern section is the larger. There is no access to the reservoir margins, but both sections are easily viewed from public roads.

Bonus Clip
Rothley Station was constructed as part of the ninety-two mile “London Extension” of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway. In 1897, the company adopted the now familiar name “Great Central Railway”, and the new line opened to passenger traffic on 15th March 1899. The station was built to the standard London Extension country station layout with a single island platform between two running lines, with pedestrian access provided via a staircase from the road bridge which crosses the line. On the platform, the waiting rooms, booking office, and toilet buildings were provided. A modest goods yard, with goods shed and coal store was on the east side of the station.
We have attempted, as far as possible, to restore the station as it would have appeared in 1912 – two years before the outbreak of the First World War. In those days the railway station was an important feature of village life. The nearby villages of Rothley and Cropston had grown significantly, with well-to-do commuter housing having been built nearby since the opening of the railway. In addition to a regular passenger service, the station also provided goods facilities and deliveries of milk, agricultural goods, machinery, and parcels were common place.

As always thanks for watching,
