Kensworth Quarry - deepest level
Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 22 Feb 2009
This view of Image] focuses on the deepest level of the quarry where water has collected in eau-de-Nil pools. Some of the industry associated with the workings can be seen at a much higher level beyond the pit. Spot the parascender top right. Note - the prominent mast top centre is similar to the one seen in close-up here Image] but is I think the one at TL01441960 [Edit Dec 2010] I am obliged to Dylan Moore who tells me that there is a pipeline directly from this quarry taking chalk slurry all the way to a cement processing plant in Rugby, a Geograph photo of which can be seen here Image]
