Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Main entrance to Whatley limestone Quarry The main road entrance to Hansons Whatley Quarry is on the minor road between Mells and Nunney.

"Nestled amidst the Somerset countryside on the eastern Mendip Hills, just outside Frome, Hanson's Whatley Quarry - one of the largest quarries in the UK - produces on average 70,000 tonnes of Carboniferous Limestone a week. The rail-linked quarry, which supplies markets across southern England, operates on a five day production basis starting 6am and normally running until midnight."

70,000 tons a week! They must be digging it out of the ground!
