The clay pit and the steam shovel
In a 1974 look back at the early works, Terry Saker described clay shale being dug from the pit by a Marion steam shovel and carried in skips on a narrow-gauge railway to the wash mills. The shovel had arrived on site in 1927, and its first job was to dig the main drain through the works.
