Further Information: Coppock's quarry was closed in the 1880's and interestingly this quarry is not visible on the 1886 - 1887 O.S. Map. However, a face of the quarry could still be seen in the 1940's, where a 20 foot cliff was separated by a wall from the recreation ground. The stone face still bears the tool marks (Arkell 1947: 44).
