Thanks for the responses on this. Looking at the period 1890 to 1910.

The Quarry is probably the best source. It was a monthly magazine
covering all aspects of quarrying. I have scans of some pages relating
to the north of England and for instance a photo of Ord and Maddisons
tar plant at Darlington in 1915. I suspect that many of the earliest
plants were satellite plants in towns and the aggregate was brought in
by train. Most of the road maintenance of country roads was carried out
on the road by using a system of tar spraying (and still is). It depends
on which period that your interested in.

Has anyone got any information regarding early asphalt works attached to
quarries. Looking for plans, layouts of plant.
