Sandstone Quarry

Structure


Former sandstone quarry later used by Armstrong as a Chinese garden - some bamboo plants still survive. An arch has been built into the quarry edge and then packed with stones, to bridge a gap in the rock. Armstrong's original stone edged path survives through this area (in other parts of the Dene the paths have been replaced by tarmac).
