Summary

Description
English: This picture shows a large walking dragline which operated in the UK between the 1950s and 1980s.

The picture was taken in ~July/August 1986 by Mr D King.

For an idea of scale, the photographer's children, aged around six and ten at the time of capture, can be seen standing in front of the machine towards its rear.

This picture is of W1400 N`2 which worked Cowthick quarry oppsite the steelworks next to Weldon. Although similar to Sundew, the boom is 26ft longer and over 200 tons of pig iron ballast were used to balance this legthened boom.
