Talking quarries, we used to go up to Hapton quarry and the moors when I was a boy. Although the quarry was closed there were hundreds, possibly thousands, of flags ready prepared. Are they still there? They must be worth an absolute fortune if they are, try buying reclaimed flags!
Does anyone know when that quarry closed?
I remember the scrambling at Green Haworth, I think it was one of the main clubs at the time.
