The small firms that merged were stone quarries that had produced
road setts, pre-mixed concrete, paint paper and even cosmetics. The
constituent quarries had their own railway systems, often with
inclines as they were located in mountainous regions. A large
number of locomotives of several gauges feature prominently in the
history of the quarry firms, from the first locos that used
limestone and granite as track ballast, to the powerful Diesel
locomotives. Ian Peaty had collected new material to form a
complete company history of the Hanson Aggregates Group. The book
is illustrated by numerous maps and diagrams, as well as modern and
archive photographs and watercolour paintings. It will appeal to
those in the aggregate industry, railway enthusiasts, industrial
historians and modellers.
