Bibbington's blue pool

Samuel Bibbington operated quarries and limekilns around Dove Holes. His Victory Quarry was connected by a tramroad, running under the (now) A6 road, to a limeworks with a long bank of kilns alongside the railway just south of Dove Holes station. The quarry has been closed for many years and the limeworks site has been landscaped and planted with trees. This has not stopped the runoff of lime rich water from the waste tips and this now collects in this pool adjacent to the A6.
