Quarry Lane lies on the line of the Roman Charmouth-Exeter road. The original line of the road has been obscured by modern development around Sandy Gate and Clyst St. Mary. However, further east its course is approximately followed by the present A3052. The lane is named after the large quarries of Heavitree stone which were first opened in the 15th century.
