Wire rope/cable

Roll of wire rope.
Best guess is 200' long- but only a guess as we haven't unrolled it. It's heavy!
Approximately 20mm diameter
It's mostly still coated in grease and has a shackle crimped on one end
Collection from Salisbury, Wiltshire
Please pm me any offers as having looked online I can't work out all the different types

Looks like an old drag line rope or winch rope

You may be right, but would be really heavy for a winch I'd have thought.

Wondered if it would make a good feed face rope? Or something else

It wouldnt be heavy if it was on the back of a Cat D8
