De Lank Quarries, Granite quarry in Cornwall, England.
De Lank Quarries is a granite extraction site in southwestern England that supplies high-quality biotite granite for construction and masonry work. The location operates today as both an active quarry and a protected scientific area.
This granite source was crucial for major building projects in the 1800s, including the famous Eddystone Lighthouse. Since then it has supplied stone to many significant structures and remains part of the United Kingdom's construction materials industry.
The stone extraction here preserves traditional craftsmanship techniques passed down through generations of skilled workers. These practical abilities allow granite to be worked in ways that have become uncommon in modern industry.
Access to this protected site is limited because it functions as both an active operation and a scientific location. Visitors should check ahead and may only enter with special permission or organized tours.
This location sits at a rare geological boundary where granite formations meet slate rock. This feature displays different stone types in one place and makes the site valuable for scientific study.
