Hedgeley gravel quarry
Can you see Hedgeley gravel quarry?
I’d mentioned last November that, “Even though there’s a gravel quarry at Hedgeley I’m typically blissfully unaware of its existence living at Powburn as I do.” In addition, even when walking around Hedgeley Lakes you wouldn’t necessarily know that gravel was being extracted: it’s not easy to see the extraction machinery when the trees are in full leaf.

Just looking back over a few photos that I took in mid August of this year on a quick walk around the Hedgeley Lakes.
Even though there’s a gravel quarry at Hedgeley I’m typically blissfully unaware of its existence living at Powburn as I do. Even walking around the lakes you would not necessarily be aware that gravel extraction was taking place. There is, of course, the sound of the mechanical ‘sieve’ that presumably is separating the gravel by size. However, the sound is fairly well dampened by the river bank, trees and hedgerows – at least from the lakes side – that it doesn’t demand your attention, and you can happily enjoy a peaceful walk.
Heating Oil Club
Whittingham and Powburn Heating Oil Club
Local Powburn resident, Julia Simpson has been in touch to alert us to the Whittingham and Powburn Heating Oil Club.
It’s affiliated to the national ‘The Oil-Club’ and has had a number of recommendations. It’s featured in Which? on line (Getting the Best Oil Price), The Sunday Times & The Telegraph Money Section, on Radio 4 and ITV’s Tonight program Power to the People. It’s the largest oil club in the UK and works to ensure members get the best price and service by negotiating the bulk purchase of heating oil, saving our members £100’s.
