Did I really see them or have I dreamt it? I say this because the more I think about it the more I can't recall when this was!

It was there all right -I remember em well as a small lad in the 60's - used to take stone etc from the quarry at the side of the coppice to the Nori brick works
Cant remember when it stopped and was dismantled, must have been mid to late 60's
