Old Norton Quarry plaque

This commemorative plaque records: Old Norton Quarry. Old Norton Quarry opened in the late 19th Century, employing many men in the area and providing raw materials for kerb stones and 'causie' setts, until it closed in the 1950s. The quarry was then used as a landfill site but has since been improved with grass and tree planting and the new path now provides a safe and pleasant route through the woodland.

Old Norton Quarry operated from the late 19th Century until the 1950s, providing significant employment in the area and raw materials for construction. The site later transitioned to a landfill before being transformed into a green space with paths through woodland.
