Background
History
The site was originally agricultural, but in the 1950s had a change of use to quarrying, when Portland Cement (later Blue Circle Cement) began extracting limestone for use in cement making. After quarrying ceased, the site was handed over to Warwickshire County Council in 1972. It became a local nature reserve before gaining SSSI status in 1981.
