Cemex sorting plant is revealed

Unloading quay
Attenborough Quarry is possibly unique in still retaining barge traffic to bring the raw aggregates from the quarry site to the processing plant. This clearly made sense when the extraction grounds were relatively close, and the method has been retained even though the loading point is over 4 kilometres distant. This is the unloading quay near Attenborough village.
