taken 7 years ago, near to Rhes-y-Cae, Flintshire/Sir y Fflint, Wales

Abandoned limestone quarry
Abandoned limestone quarry
Exploitation of the Carboniferous Limestone in the area is extensive, and has a long history. This abandoned working in the Cefn Mawr Limestone (Brigantian) is part of that legacy, and of an area of conservation interest because it contains abundant fossil material, which adjacent exposures do not. See also SJ1872 : Crinoidal limestone.
