Mendip rail aggregate industries
In 1938 the recently opened Merehead Quarry was taken over by Limmer and Trinidad. 25 men were employed at the time. In 1958 the quarry was sold to Foster Yeoman who had been working Dulcote Quarry near Wells. The quarry was renamed Torr Works (after Ron Torr, the Chief Engineer) on 19 August 1970.[3]

It has been operated by Aggregate Industries since their take over of Foster Yeoman in 2006.[4] The site employs over 250 people and produces 7.5 million tonnes of limestone annually which is carried directly from the quarry by Mendip Rail.[5]
