Nasty Photographs
Here is the ugly side of Longstone Edge...
If you click on the small images below you will get the mid-sized photo. If you want to download the full-sized photo then click on the "extra large" link.
A number of the photos are taken from the same place and show the extent of the destruction over the course of five years (see also the historical sequence.) The August 2008 photos show grass and trees cleared on either side, ready for the quarry to be expanded.
