Artist's Description
Remote, rugged and flooded Foggintor Quarry near to Princetown in Dartmoor National Park, Devon, SW England, UK. Once a thriving granite mining community of some 400 people with associated settlement. One of the three great Dartmoor granite quarries it operated from about 1820 until 1938. Granite mined here was used in Nelson's Column, London Bridge and the infamous Dartmoor Prison at Princetown. Some of the quarry's associated ruined buildings, foundations and old railway track beds can still be seen on the moor. Rumours of ghostly 'Shadow Men' seen in the area between 1955 and 1980 turned out to be elite forces using the area for training.
About Richard Brookes
Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...
