Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Fletcher Bank Quarry Stone was extracted from this quarry in 1876 to build 326985
I took this picture from a distance to highlight the rock formation. Today the quarry produces approximately 500-600,000 tonnes of aggregate and related products each year. The quarry currently has planning permission for the extraction of gritstone reserves. However the majority of these reserves have now been worked and present quarrying operations are progressing in a southwards direction along the eastern boundary of the quarry. A major concrete products factory,in the southern half of the site 311351 utilises a significant proportion of the aggregate extracted from the quarry. The factory produces a huge range of concrete products, including kerbstones and flags and is in permanent industrial use employing approximately 150 people. |
