Assuming trustworthy GPS location, the extension of the quarry beyond its mapped limits is easily determined. Here is a view from the Holywell Level down to the next, which is being extended by drilling and blasting. The pile of debris in the foreground is part of the temporary protective bund which is designed to restrain people and vehicles from going over the edge.
