Mike informs me not to call it a quarry but a gravel pit,gravel and sand was taken out,initially by hand.The airfield after it was sold was dug out to a depth of 12 feet before housing commenced.The site where the stuff was buried was indicated by some missing trees.It was besides the Miles Canteen at the beginning of Perimeter Road.I hope this makes some sense to someone as I`ve never been there,just relaying a story that I thought might be of interest from a really nice,i would say honest,and knowledgable chap.There might be many people that have studied Woodley in minute detail and know a lot more about it..just retelling a story from someone who owned the site so don`t shoot the miles messenger !! The family of William May still own the house in Sooning too.
