The Yorkshire branch is pleased to announce we have a site visit to Tarmac Swinden and Threshfield Quarries on Tuesday, 13th May 2025 between 09:30 and 13:30.
Attendees will meet at Tarmac Swinden visitor centre at 09:30. The visit will begin with an introduction to Tarmac and the history of Swinden Quarry by Operations Manager, Lea Lambert, before moving onto a tour of the quarry base, plant site and rail sidings.
This will be followed by a visit to Swinden’s predecessor Threshfield Quarry to look at the restored site, crayfish ponds, archaeology and viewing platform on the top of the quarry with a possible opportunity to walk across part of it, weather permitting.
After the tour, attendees will return to Swinden for a light lunch.
Full PPE must be worn by all visitors. Numbers are limited to 20 spaces.
