Full Description
Possible site of Prestwhich and Sons Intake Quarry Sidings. There is now a large bank of earth separating the possible siding from the Cromford & High Peak Railway track, it is uncertain when this material was deposited. There is a small section of trackway that could represent the remains of the siding on the other side of the bank, toward the quarry site. There is also a single concrete gate post which may represent the only visible remains of the siding.
