Quarry

Ive heard on the grape vine theres a major quarrying company interested. And anybody who really does know Coventry Airport. knows whats underneath.


Is this what you mean ?


The surface geology of Coventry is mudstone and sandstone that would have been deposited at the time the glaciers retreated during the last ice age. By and large the surface geology is rarely more than 10m thick. The dominant bedrocks in Coventry are sandstones from the Permian/Triassic ages with some clay deposits, whilst to the east and north of the city there are Carboniferous deposits, which include coal measures.
