The Heavitree Quarry Trails came out of the place-based\u00a0Heavitree Squilometre<\/a>\u00a0project animated by JoJo Spinks of Interwoven Productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We believe that our places in Exeter UK – its landscape, heritage and its people – are worth celebrating!! Squilometre does this by “taking project nominations, from you, about which aspect of this place – \u200bthis one square kilometre of land that we share – you’d like to celebrate next.”<\/p>\n

Quarry Trails was the fifth community-commissioned Squilometre\u00a0project. We’re extremely grateful to Exeter City Council for providing the funds to kick-start the project, and awarding us an Arts Project Grant to complete the Trails.<\/p>\n

People<\/h2>\n

The “Quarry Pod” is a group of residents, artists and keen local historians who are acting as a steering group for the project. Many are from Heavitree, others are from St Loyes (where the quarries are actually located) and further afield.<\/p>\n

Particular thanks go to Dr Jon Cinnamon<\/a> of the University of Exeter for creating the web-based mapping system for documenting the location of Heavitree Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks also to our community surveyors who joined us on several survey walks and brought their own enthusiasm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
