Matched to the job

Foden dump trucks in an advert from Mines and Mineral Engineering, Sept 1970. These vehicles look both small and rather dated compared with modern vehicles. The photo seems to have been taken at the Craigahulliar (sometimes written as Craignahulliar) quarry located 3km SE of Portrush. It was worked by Portrush Columnar Basalt Company Ltd. until the 1980s and has subsequently been used as a refuse tip.
