    Mineral extraction has made one of the most dramatic changes to this landscape. From 1908 to 1964, there had been one small gravel pit of about three acres here.

    The battle to prevent further extraction lasted from 1964 to 1968, but was eventually lost and up to six meters' depth of gravel was stripped from most of the west of the Common.

    Looking south-east, you will get an impression of the extent of the mineral extraction carried out in the 1960s.
