Bowers Quarry, Limestone quarry on Isle of Portland, England.
Bowers Quarry operates as an underground mining facility extracting high-quality Portland stone through a network of carefully planned tunnels and chambers.
The extraction site dates from the late 1700s and transformed into the first Portland stone mine in 2002 under Albion Stone's management.
The stone from this quarry contributes to British architectural heritage, forming parts of numerous government buildings and monuments across the United Kingdom.
The mining complex maintains active operations with estimated reserves lasting until 2040, producing varieties including Bowers Roach and Bowers Basebed stone.
The quarry incorporates advanced Italian stone cutting equipment, introduced in 1999, which eliminated the need for traditional gunpowder-based extraction methods.
