Dist:0.2km<br/>Moneystone is a quiet hamlet high up on the moors neat Oakamoor. This view looks idyllic and it is hard to believe that just a short way down the road is a massive and very busy sandstone quarry with streams of trucks thundering along the little lanes.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>This is a picture taken after finding a geocache, a new and fantastic hobby discovered after submitting pictures to this site. The picture shows the field and side of forest shown on the map. The tupperware box is what we found buried about 100 yards away. Get out there and get geo - "graphing" and "caching"!

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>Moneystone Quarry is now closed and its buildings are being demolished prior to the reinstatement or reuse of the land. The digger, on the left of the shot, was fitted with a concrete breaker and was operating when this shot was taken.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>Moneystone sandstone quarry is extremely busy and traffic lights control trucks and quarry vehicles crossing this access road. All of the stone is taken out by road, and lorries thunder in and out every few seconds. The map shows a link to the railway line in the valley below, which is now the Churnet Valley preserved railway. This is no longer used to transport quarry goods but it would seem to be a much better way of shifting large loads of stone around.
