Site of Langley Ironstone Quarry. The whole of the area in this picture as far as the woods and the far lines of trees was quarried for ironstone between 1926 and 1943. The ironstone was not far below the surface and as it was removed the land was returned to cultivation - but 15-20 metres below its previous level. This view is from the bridge constructed under the Stratford Road in 1954 to allow access to open up the Balscott Quarry area. The shallow depression across the fields leading away from the photographer marks the course of the railway from the newer quarry area back to the Oxfordshire Ironstone Quarries Headquarters site which is just visible to the right of the woodland in the centre of the picture.
