Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Earnslaw Pool, near Great Malvern Yet another image of what was once a quarry and is now a rather deep pool. A potted history is that an Alfred Earnslaw owned the quarry where, starting in 1836, granite was extracted. Out of the proceeds Alfred built Earnslaw House nearby, the drive to which from the main road now provides the access route to the pool. The house was demolished in 1936. Four years earlier there had been a serious landslip caused by the quarrying leading to a legal action against the quarry by the Conservators of the Malverns, which they won. Damages and costs were awarded against the quarry in the amount of almost £6000. By the 1960s the quarry was almost worked out and the then Worcestershire County Council purchased the site and handed it over to the Conservators. Part of the quarry filled up with spring water forming the pool we see today. Apparently there are fish in it. The quarry is now part of the Malvern Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest.
