Beautiful colours through the Blue Elvan /Armourstone at Penlee Quarry #penlee #quarry #archaeology

Visible vertical lines visible on the rock surface at Penlee Quarry. This is due to the rock being drilled at evenly spaced intervals to make it easier to break #penlee #quarry

The Sun, Sea, Stone team visiting Penlee Quarry, Newlyn. The tour was led by Dave Ninnis, who gave us insight into working in an early 20th century quarry. We sampled the sound of chiselling within the basin which provided fantastic acoustics #penlee #quarry #students
