Croxden Quarry
near Freehay. In this area the contractors, Tarmac have got no further than removing the overburden. But within the next ten years this area will be dug out to a depth of 30 metres or more. In the foreground there is a curious metal "wall" with a curved top about a metre high. This may well be to keep some species of small furry animal out of the dangerous site.

Croxden Quarry
Sand and gravel extraction, operated by Tarmac. The face in the distance appears still to be active; mortar works out of sight. As seen from the viewpoint on Coppice Lane.

Croxden Quarry
Freehay. Until a few years ago Counslow Road ran more or less level from the photographer's position to the top of the far cliff (a point about one third of the picture width from the left hand edge). The current Multimap aerial image http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cgi?x=402638&y=341787&scale=10000 shows the road intact and the new Counslow Road being constructed in a sweeping curve to the west and north. The new road opened in 2000 at a cost of £2 million. Since then Tarmac, the quarry operators have carved out this great trench.
