Monument record MDR16567 - Great Rocks Works and Longsiding Works (remains of), Peak Dale, Wormhill

Great Rock Quarry and associated lime kilns are depicted and labelled on the 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880. A smaller quarry is also depicted to the south, but Longsiding Lime Works do not appear until the 2nd edition 25" OS map. By this time, Great Rocks Lime Works, as it is now called, has expanded to merge with Longsiding Works, creating a continuous linear area of quarrying and lime works along the railway. (1, 2) Both lime works continue to expand through the 20th century. (3, 4) The area to the north, formerly covered by Great Rocks Works, has been relandscaped, but the rest of the area to the south has been left. (5, 6)
