Did men knock out the seaward wall to intentionally flood the quarry?

I don't think so, there was a massive tidal wave in 1881 that flooded the quarries, I assume that changed the landscape a bit and smashed things up though the quarries on Easdale were workkded after. Interestingly the quarry on Ellenabeich got to 250ft deep before it was flooded.

Great view!

Thanks!

Thanks K9Kirk, it is pretty wide, another 120° fov. What you don't see here is I'm standing on a walkway about 10ft wide between two of the quarries
