Troopers Hill Sandstone Quarry (United Kingdom)


The shape of Troopers Hill today is mainly due to the quarrying of pennant sandstone for use in building. The 1890 Ordnance Survey map shows the quarry in an area now known as 'the gully'. The humps between the gully and Troopers Hill Road are tipped waste from this quarry.
