Newhurst Quarry is a former quarry in Leicestershire, which is now a waste-from-energy site.
Showing the single result
The quarry is now at least partially an incinerator; whether the quarry or buildings remain is unknown.
The site was a SSSI and a GCR; as well as the only British site with the minerals coulsonite and vesignieite.
It seems unlikely any further specimens will be collected from the site.
