Old Diggers galore! Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum has been open to the public for many years and, over time, has evolved and adapted. Based at an old quarry, which had it’s own local little railway linked to the now-disused Penrith to Keswick Railway, there are lots of old diggers, dumper trucks, and little railway outside and an informative museum inside. My wife and I take a look around, and enjoy a ride on the train.

Interesting question about when they started using hydraulics to operate these diggers, according to Rackers Equipment Company it was in the post wat period, which makes sense I think. That said I was brought up on Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel, A wonderful little book for kids telling the tale of a steam shovel that finds itself obsolete. Maybe they had a copy in their shop, they ought to!!
Their website tells the story of rescue of a Rushton Digger submerged in a quarry, not sure if it was that big grey one though.
Been a while, far too long, since I've been to the lake district, I'd love to go back one day...... It'd take some convincing to persuade my wife to go here though!!
All the best!!
