What Next?

Here we see an infilled quarry in the middle of Honley Old Wood, or what is now known as the 'White Rose Forest', Honley. Nearby signs indicate that the quarry was worked by Johnson Wellfield Ltd., who operated several sandstone quarries in the area, extracting stone for building. The ground surface is now littered with methane monitoring points. What will be the long term future of this land which was formerly woodland?
