This chalk pit for years supplied the raw material for the now defunct and disappeared Pitstone Cement Works. Taken from the western flank of Pitstone Hill on the Ridgeway LDP as it emerges from the wooded Aldbury Nowers. I believe these flooded lagoons have been used for many years as an impromptu and somewhat risky lido.
