There is a very large number of disused quarries in the national parks, but no comprehensive records of their working life.
The figures comprise factory inspectors, agricultural inspectors, specialist inspectors and quarries inspectors.
At least two of these deaths occurred in disused pits or quarries.
The plant and machinery were subsequently sold by public auction, and as the quarries are flooded to a great extent no restart is contemplated.
The usual cast of topics is there, population, economy (textiles to oil by way of granite quarries and ®shing), work, politics, local government, poverty, housing, leisure and religion.
Various quarries, which were active up to several decades ago, have significantly changed the original morphology of the area and now provide the outcrop of some proximal pyroclastic sequences.
Perhaps only pre-forms were prepared at workshops in or near the quarries and, once transpor ted to their final destination within the site, the sculptures were then completed.
Except for the top quarried level that retained the original limestone surface, the vertical extents of the fissures are generally unknown due to earlier quarrying operations or unexcavated base levels.
