For most kinds of construction, including buildings and roads, vast amounts of gravel are needed and this has always had to be dug out of the ground. This involves great disruption to the areas concerned and, naturally, nobody ever welcomes this activity in their own back yard- Aldermaston being no exception. At least three times since the Second World War (in 1974, 1991 and 2003) the village has successfully fended off attempts to mine gravel locally and details of the 1974 and 2003 campaigns are presented below. We hope to add details of the 1991 affair later.
