Newbridge Quarry is a limestone quarry located just to the north of Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. The quarry works the ????? Formation and has been in operation since 1946, with a projected closure date of December 2026.
History[edit]
Covering an area of 200 acres (80 hectares), Newbridge Quarry is 1.9 miles (3 km) north of Pickering and lies between 279 feet (85 m) and 344 feet (105 m) above sea level.[1][2]
To the immediate south-west of the site is a 17-acre (6.9 ha) SSSI (Newbridge Quarry), which has been recorded on account of its geological state which allows for the "...dating [of] the final phase of Corallian sedimentation in Yorkshire."[3]
