East Quarry, Titterstone Clee

The eastern quarry was opened in the December of 1910. It seems likely that by this time the west quarry was in its terminal stage. The moving of the main focus of quarrying to the east may have been influenced by the three clauses in the Rouse-Boughton lease agreement which stipulated that no quarry activity should effect the vista of Titter stone Clee visible from Downton Hall. Moving the quarry floor to a new site further east, leaving a spur between the new site and the old avoided any such problem. Today the exposures of the east quarry face show the basalt, the lines of the tub-ways serving the quarry face can still be seen as track ways in the floor of the quarry.
