The Mount Pleasant surface quarry extended underground to work an area of approxumately one hectare. This dormant Bath Stone quarry was last worked before 1914 and the surface quarry was backfilled in the 1980s to form playing fields. However, the underground workings were connected to Grey Gables Mine in 2006 by Edmund Nuttall Limited for bat conservation by a cut and cover tunnel.
Alternate Names: Mount Pleasant Mine
Notes: An important bat habitat.
