The Quarry
Hylton Quarry 1968.  It was shut in 1980.
South Hylton Local History Society
keeping the history of our village alive....
The first record the Society has of the Quarry is 1930 but are sure it was in use before this date.  Magnesium Limestone was quarried here, some of which found its way to Washington Chemicals who owned the quarry at one time.
