Title:

Inside Danby Quarry

Date:: 1860 - 1920
Description:: Image shows an adit, or horizontal entrance, into a mine where marble is taken. One can see where marble has been removed by different techniques. The lower walls have been cleanly cut in straight lines whereas the ceiling and upper walls appear to have been removed using equipment with teeth of some kind. Marble being made of calcite is a rather soft rock so excavation would not be too difficult. One section of wall is numbered. Metal rods can be seen coming out of the walls in several locations. Wheel or tire tracks can be seen on the floor.
