In 1965, planning permission was granted to quarry Venn Ottery Common in the East Devon AONB.
Aggregate Industries has worked the quarry over the years, most intensively between 2011 and 2016. Previous posts on the subject can be found here.
In 2018, AI announced that it had finished putting back the pieces. That’s 53 years from start to finish – almost as long as Blue Peter, the children’s TV show, that turned 60 this week.
The company must be pleased with how the site has been restored; it’s now 'showcasing' the work.
Who can guess what the AI representative is telling the assembled audience?
Perhaps: ‘Here’s one we destroyed earlier’?
