Major Open Day at this important open air museum.  The quarry was opened to lift granite and later, lead, from these ancient hills.  A narrow-gauge railway took wagons down to the main railway running Penrith to Workington. 
Here is some of the activity, mainly railway rides - more on the excavators later.
Filmed in Cumbria, England.
