Geocache Description:


Some of you will have been here before, it's just off a regular bike ride of mine.

Bike to the Quarry


I did find a little about the Quarry at Carncrees. Some 90 years ago J. Richards and Son, granite merchants of Stithians, were renting and working the quarry, though much of the granite removed was found to be unsuitable and the quarry itself was almost always full of water. The cut quoins from this quarry, to be used in the building of the Police Station at Redruth, were transported by horse-drawn cart, the journey there and back again lasting at least half a day.
