Copenacre Copenacre Quarry was converted into a Naval Stores Depot (part of Spring Quarry Naval Stores Depot) and was in use from the 1940's to the mid 1990's. Here we see a telephone box and a Stores Manager's office in the background. It has now become a dumping ground for the adjoining Hartham Quarry.

Activity at Widdenham Farm This is at the end of the field so the shapes are caused by the tractor driver swinging round at the end of each row and continuing to cut as he does so.
