Wickwar Quarry

Wickwar Quarry is part of Cemex and acquired from The RMC Group in 2005. Limestone has been extracted from Wickwar Quarry from the 1920's

Wickwar Quarry is situated 1 km north west of Wickwar on the B4509. The old quarry area (Churchwood), the plant area and the concrete blockworks lie to the west of the B4509. The current quarry excavations and the primary crusher are east of the B4509, connected to the plant area by a conveyor which runs through a tunnel beneath the road. The main quarry access is to the west of the B4509.
A Weight Restriction Order prevents heavy quarry traffic passing through Wickwar. It is envisaged that the Preferred Area would be worked in a northwards direction as an extension to Wickwar Quarry using the current plant and access arrangements
