A little history on Mountsorrel Quary:
Mountsorrel Quarry is operated by Tarmac, the UK’s leading building products and construction solutions company.

The entire Mountsorrel site extends over approximately 494 acres. The quarry itself covers 167 acres and currently reaches a depth of around 120 metres below sea level.

Currently, annual production is just over four million tonnes, and the permitted end date for operations is 31 December 2033.

Approximately 60 - 70 per cent of the aggregate produced at Mountsorrel – about three million tonnes – is supplied by rail through the sidings at Barrow upon Soar. This is more than any other quarry in the region.

Mountsorrel produces a type of granite that is nationally important because of its versatility and durability. The stone has been used in major local projects, and recently including the construction and resurfacing of the A46 Trunk Road, the widening of the A453 from the M1 into Nottingham and the extension of the Nottingham tramway. It also provides materials, including readymixed concrete and coated road stone for local housing and highway schemes.
