I was hoping someone could help. I work for the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust and I am currently researching the aggregate history of the area to the south of Bridgnorth, which sits in the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark. The ultimate aim is to produce a booklet that relates the aggregate history of the geopark.

I am looking for info on a few quarries that were worked in the past 50 years: Eardington Quarry, Knowle Sands Quarry and Chelmarsh Quarry. All of which were sand and gravel quarries supplying the local aggregate industry. I am struggling to find any documental evidence of these quarries and would also love to find people who worked in them.

If there is anyone that could help I would really appreciate it.

Regards
