Footpath to Harlaxton
This follows the line of the hedge before skirting the stand of trees at Wealdmore Lodge. The slight ridge running across the lines of the stubble mark the line of the railway which served the Harlaxton Quarry system, giving access to the later quarries in the area between Stroxton and Harlaxton Manor.

Former Ironstone Quarry
This was No.1 or Pearsons Quarry of the Harlaxton Quarries system, and was worked from 1943 to 1951. The extent of extraction can be seen from the difference in level between the field and the road which runs at the top of the bank in the background.

Former ironstone quarry
This was, from 1943-61, Harlaxton No 1 (Pearson's) Quarry. Ore extraction has left the fields lower than Gorse Lane, whose hedge crosses the picture. The trees in the distance on the right are Tollbar Plantation, behind which the Harlaxton system had its engine sheds, workshops and sidings. The concrete foundations of the engine shed are still there (SK878309). This picture is taken from where the railway crossed the Swine Hill road on its way to No 3 (Swine Hill) quarry. See other photos nearby for more on the Harlaxton quarries and railways.
