    Known locally as John Henry Quarry. The quarry was established in the late 1800's to supply stone for the Manchester Water Corporation's Longdendale Reservoirs. In the mid 1900's the demand for such stone dried up. The land at that time was owned by United Utilities who approached Tintwistle Parish Council, it is believed in the 1980's, to manage the site. In 2021, the council decided to rewild the site.
