Cormongers Lane, Redhill, Surrey
Beachfields Quarry is part of a once extensive sand extraction project operated by the Fullers' Earth Union Ltd, commenced in 1954; it was subsequently taken over by LaPorte Industries Ltd., and in recent years the exhaustion of material has led to the areas around Cormongers Lane to be wound down, with the upper part of the quarry now a landfill site.
