Summary edit
DescriptionStover Quarry and Stover Park - geograph.org.uk - 1730296.jpg |
English: Stover Quarry and Stover Park Incongruous neighbours, but there is a close relationship. In the mid-18th century the Templer family acquired the run-down Stover estate and exploited the clay. They built the Stover canal, opened in 1792, to transport the clay to Newton Abbot for onward transport to Teignmouth docks. The canal is now derelict. (Templer is the correct spelling).
Without seeing work going on it's hard to know whether this is clay waste being tipped or whether lignite (the black stuff) is being stripped in order to extract the layer of clay beneath. It was a Sunday afternoon and anyway the quarries seem rather quiet at the moment. Landfill operations a couple of miles away, which use clay waste for capping, are very busy. See, for example SX8576 Keywords: Templer Way, Templar Way, Heathfield landfill, Babcombe landfill |
