| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Sleeps Hill Quarries |
| Registered Name |
Sleeps Hill Quarries |
| Significance |
Worked from 1916 to about 1950, the quarries at Sleeps Hill are considered to be significant because they illustrate a typical pre-War quarry. Small scale quarries such as Sleeps Hill (and there were many in this area) have become no longer viable because of changed methods of operation and changing attitudes to worker safety. Sleeps Hill is important because it is intact and clearly displays the technologies and methods used to quarry and process the rock. There are very few unfilled or intact quarries remaining from this period that are so accessible. |
