- Book Synopsis
- Limestone quarrying has left a huge impact on the dales, with many operations now silent and abandoned. The evidence of past activities remain in many parts, and in others quarrying is still carried out. This is the story of the production of limestone and the effects it has had over the years on the communities and landscape in one of the most beautiful parts of northern England.
