Scout Moor Quarry Project

I found this place whist driving past one day and decided to drive up the road to investigate. 
I didn’t actually know what was at the end of the road but guessed it was some kind of construction place. Once I got to the top, I realised it was a quarry and thought that if I could get permission, it would be a brilliant opportunity to document the work carried out there. 
I found the manager, explained what I wanted to do and was advised to email him with the details. I have done just that and await a response. 

Found these images on the web: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/973923
I love the work of Sebastian Salgado and his photographs of the gold mine in Serra Pelada, Brazil I would never be able to compete with those but will use them to inspire me. Here are some of his amazing photos.
