Old quarry workings, Tout Quarry
Tout Quarry is one of the many quarries which formerly existed on the Isle of Portland quarrying Portland marble (strictly a fossiliferous limestone). Since 1983, the site of the old quarry has been the home of the Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust and a large number of stones have been sculpted on the site. Amongst the sculptures, there are still signs of the old quarrying infrastructure.
