  • These qurries are a plase of mistery and suspens. I knew someone who woked in Braich Quarry in Sinc California. It was very cold, and wet. mcalpine got it in 69 - 70? and made it cheap so that they gould bild a powerstation init. I once saw the big Garret working when it had closed but they wer still clearing rubbish from a fall mcalpines were.
