Description and History of Site:-
A discrete quarry hole with working faces up to 18m high and formerly with discard piles, working Bradley flag beds for flagstone and roofing 'slates'. Recently redeveloped for one large house with most of the original quarry features removed/landscaped.
It was one of several flagstone workings around Bradley:
Delph Farm Quarry (SE018 479) - now infilled
Bloomer Hill Quarry (SE021 476) - now infilled
Standard Stone Mine (SE009 502) just inside Skipton parish which survive as one open adit.
No firm dates are known but mainly 19th century.
