Full Description
The siding for the Manystones Hopton Stone Co. Ltd, for Manystones Quarry. A drystone wall has been built across the entrance to the quarry. Siding cut between limestone rocks at the side of the Cromford & High Peak Railway track. The siding cutting is approximately 3m wide and 3m deep at its deepest point.
