Threlkeld Quarry Photo Charter - July 2015

To mark the Fiftieth anniversary of the last steam workings and closure of Penrhyn Quarry, 30742 Charters organised this event at Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum using many of the locos visiting the quarry for their steam gala. The event took place on the evening of Thursday July 23rd. and Friday July 24th.2015. The following locomotives featured; Hunslet large Quarry class 'Hugh Napier' and Hunslet 'Lilla' from the Ffestiniog Railway. Hunslet large Quarry class 'Sybil Mary' and Avonside 'Marchlyn' from Statfold. Kerr Stuart 'Stanhope' and Hudswell Clarke 1238 from the Moseley Railway Trust. Also featured was the wonderful Steam Navvie from Statfold which for me was one of the highlights and possibly the closest man has got to creating a dragon! Grateful thanks to Martin Creese for organising the charter and to the many volunteers from the various railways and from Threlkeld for a very enjoyable event.
