Site of Langley Ironstone Quarry. The whole of the area in this picture as far as the woods and the far lines of trees was quarried for ironstone between 1926 and 1943. The ironstone was not far below the surface and as it was removed the land was returned to cultivation - but 15-20 metres below its previous level. This view is from the bridge constructed under the Stratford Road in 1954 to allow access to open up the Balscott Quarry area. The shallow depression across the fields leading away from the photographer marks the course of the railway from the newer quarry area back to the Oxfordshire Ironstone Quarries Headquarters site which is just visible to the right of the woodland in the centre of the picture.

Macdonald Alveston Manor Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The hotel was easy to find and had onsite parking. The room was comfortable and clean. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every moment. The breakfast was well organised with plenty of choice and the cooked breakfast was cooked to order on week days but help yourself buffet on the weekend though this was kept warm and well replenished. There is a good pool with sauna and steam room which we made full use of. The hotel is in a good location by the river with a 5 minute walk over the bridge to the town centre. The Christmas lights were on and everywhere looked spectacular. Our first real visit to the town having previously only having a brief stopover on our way through. Looking forward to our next visit. "
