Makers plate indicating manuf. 1945
A man called Jimmy Birch (West Tees Engineering) Ramshaw , that is Gaunless valley which is between Teesdale & Weirddale (Gaunless flows into River Weir) , he had 3 qty. operating into at least 1980's . ISTR they were all Ex-Royal Navy and still in Navy Blue , I don't recall a yellow one . This one may have been owned by Mansel Maddison.

Well yes, he was a sort of BIG digger man , another possibility up-valley was Fangio Brown - a hardrock miner who went O.C.C.S hyd. muck-shifter ,as well as a subby at the Blue Circle quarry when their digger broke down. However the originator has told me the crane location - on the doorstep of WARD , say no more..
