Quarrying is one of the oldest industries known to man, as, from early times, people have been making items from stone. However, the quarrying industry is only briefly mentioned in most archaeological and historical records, with some books only giving a passing account of this activity. This book alters this and provides an in-depth analysis of this important industry, not only with regards to Shropshire, but the whole country. Many structures in Shropshire and various parts of the country are constructed from stone quarried from this large county. This book shows that quarries are not just holes or scars on the landscape, highlighting the machinery used in extracting and processing the quarried minerals.

Dr Robert S. Galloway has authored two reports, “Historical Research on Knowles Mill in Dowles, Bewdley”, for the National Trust in 2007, and “Hurcott and Podmore Papers Mills, Kidderminster” for the Worcestershire County Council Historical Environment and Archaeology Services in 2007. He has also been involved in a research evaluation of Lea Quarries, Much Wenlock, Shropshire, conducted in 2009.
