It is not that I would refuse (?) to add a history, but this is really very difficult for me.
When I search around, I find infos on quarrying, military use, private firm, still used as quarry, open quarry,
houses on quarry, quarry north, same name other quarry, other name same quarry, connected quarry, parts of quarry other name, etc.
This drives me mad. I would like to tell the story, but I am unable to do it in a proper way.
What I do not find (online) is a good history on that real stone quarrying, done there.

Ok, see my pics now:
