Hand Operated Crane

On one of our farms is a very interesting hand operated crane, obviously designed for lifting sandstone blocks onto railway trucks at the siding nearby.

It is in almost perfect condition and probably hasn’t been used for 50-years or more.  It is currently being relocated to the main complex, together with its magnificent sandstone blocks.
