Moneystone Quarry

Moneystone sandstone quarry is extremely busy and traffic lights control trucks and quarry vehicles crossing this access road. All of the stone is taken out by road, and lorries thunder in and out every few seconds. The map shows a link to the railway line in the valley below, which is now the Churnet Valley preserved railway. This is no longer used to transport quarry goods but it would seem to be a much better way of shifting large loads of stone around.
