@posbyonechop@AdventureAbz When quarrying stopped in 1969, they turned off the pumps that kept the quarry floor free from water. It has slowly filled up with rainwater, recently classified as excellent quality water.
Aberdeen City Councils Planning Committee unanimously rejected plans to build a 9 storey block of 245 flats on the edge of Aberdeenโs most important heritage sites, Rubislaw Quarry. A great and right decision. Thanks to the Planning Committee and all our Friends & Supporters!
We're currently looking for volunteers to help clear the grounds around the quarry. Would you like to help? If so, please get in touch. ๐ #Volunteers#Aberdeen#RubislawQuarry
Here's a Thursday Throwback for you all.
Did you know that London's Waterloo Bridge was built from 1811 and 1817 and granite from Rubislaw Quarry was used for its balustrade?๐คCool right!?
