Callow Lane - completion of cobbling
I've returned to the cobbles for the last couple of weeks and tonight, I finally finished the last section of the planned cobbled area. Here are a few photos taken this evening, most (but not all), to show the cobbling (or granite setts).
The effect I'm aiming for is that the larger vehicle turning/parking area will have been tarmacked sometime after the war, but done 'on the cheap', and is now beginning to wear off, so the edge where the cobbles meet the tarmac is not regular and even, as some sections have broken or worn away, where vehicles have been moving, and there are also a couple of patches in the tarmac area itself, where the thin tarmac layer has worn away, revealing the cobbles beneath.
The overall area that is now cobbled.
This was the final end to be completed, the cobbled area to the right of the siding:
The second area where the tarmac has worn or broken away, revealing the old cobbles beneath:
The Ruston from the chocolate factory has ventured some way from the factory gates to pose here:
The next part of the project will probably be to do a bit of work on this rather super new Skaledale Midland Railway water tower:
