| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Bangley Quarry, looking from the north-north-west. East Lothian. Active roadstone quarry in a thick, fairly flat-lying trachytic (quartz-banakite) lava of the Lower Carboniferous Garleton Hills Volcanic Rocks age. The lower arable ground, top and bottom, is covered by glacial till and other superficial deposits. Features of the quarrying include: thin or no glacial overburden, stepped workings to keep safe face height, processing plant to crush and grade rock, stockpiles of graded rock, overburden forming bank to screen working from road. |
