Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Could it have been the open cast site that was down Church Lane on the way to the baths. I can remember the large machinery, cranes & trucks (we called them euk's) that we passed. The inner tubes of the large wheels from these 'euk's' made their way to the baths, all on their own, so we could dive, from the side of the baths, through the centre. But I can't remember any red stuff, just black & white to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Patterson Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Red gravel used for walkways etc is often a by-product of a brickyard! (bin there and bought it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
