Talking of disused quarries in the area, the old Tom
Thomas's quarry on the A48 Chepstow to Lydney road is now

Really? Its not Stoney then? Nor Dorothea ;-)

Drat, just when you want to find a post that re-quotes all
previous posts for a single line contribution (so that I can
look again for the grid, etc.), everyone's been nice and
