Hi nigel this is very. Interesting for me as I remember my dad telling me how when he worked for Sussex tractors how he used to go to the mines to work on them. I also remember as a boy mum and dad always took me to watch the buckets as we called them on the ropeway which I believe was one of the longest in the world at the time.
Should also have mentioned it was in the sixties he came there and must have fixed thoughs same fordson majors.
