The quarry was bought by Adelaide Brighton Cement as a going concern in July 2014.[2]
Penrice was named by Captain Rodda after Penrice, a town in Glamorganshire, Wales. [3]
Penrice is in the Barossa Council local government area, the state electoral district of Schubert and the federal Division of Barker.[1]
