Disused quarry at Middle Mill, Solva A huge quarry set into the hillside at Middle Mill. Currently for sale, the quarry is described as 'quartz dolomite hard stone', which I would assume is best used as roadstone.

Middle Mill Quarry Stone Drops Basically stone built hoppers to allow graded stone from the dolerite quarry to be loaded into carts or trucks for transport elsewhere. They are in a line and had different sized slots in the roof. The stone was then transported down the valley to Solva, via a tramway, before being loaded onto ships for export.
