Regarding one of the two photographs of Cox Green Quarry (Ref: 4W), supplied by John Valentine and derek Crompton... I am fairly certain that in the top photograph, the one with the traction engine, that the gentleman on the far right might well be George HUGHSON b1825 in Billinge, Lancashire. George became a master stonemason and died in 1893, living at the time on 139 Halliwell Road, Bolton. I already have a photograph of George and as well as the facial similarities, his posture is very similiar too. If anyone is interested, I have more information about George and other HUGHSON's. Regards... David Allan.
Hello David, If your dates are correct for George Hughson, then he could not be the quarry worker in the photo, as this was taken c. 1911. However, it might well be a relation. You could send your photo to me for my website then we could all compare the likeness. I see there is a photo next to this one of a George Hughson on his wedding day - any connection?
