Men packing dynamite

 

 

Here we see men packing the dynamite into the holes at the base of the face. It appears the dynamite is carried around in cardboard boxes!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preparing for detonation

 

 

 The long white threads visible here are the detonating cords. These would be lit at a safe distance to set off the dynamite.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally we see the quarry face ready for detonation with a lone figure making the final checks.
