Wandering around in Ilkley Quarry and looking at Wellington Crack. 
 

From memory the capping boulder must have gone twenty odd years ago or so, but where did it go? 
 

There doesn’t appear to be a trace of it below the crack itself. 
 

Anybody know?

It was trundled in 2002 I think. IIRC it shattered into quite small chunks. I don't really recall it ever being in the way, I guess it was piled up somewhere in there.

Didn't the council remove it - I guess they may have cleaned up the debris?

In reply to Chris Craggs: yes, it was shifted by Bradford Council.

I've done a bit of internet digging and have found a great picture - bottom of page 6 in this link;

Seems like the 'council trundle' and the 'council clean-up' were not contiguous events....

Thank you all.  I knew there would be people out there with a better memory than me.
