Have been out on the road day and night for 4 days working for Lafarge Aggregates. I am still, at 41 years of age, impressed with big lorries and diggers and trains and so this was a dream assignment (if you ignore the -6degrees temperatures and the fact I was shooting some of it at 1am in the morning and all my equipment got covering in crushed granite dust etc etc)

I could write a lot about this. Basically the granite is blown out the the grown at various qaurries around the UK, loaded into trucks and then crushed to make it smaller, then shipped out as rail ballast or mixed with bitumen to make asphalt for roads and so on. Its all very big and noisy and a tough business but everyone I spoke to seemed to love the industry.
