The Cracken Edge Quarries were exploited for gritstone in the nineteenth century and probably earlier. There is very little published on the history of the site even though it is extensive and clearly visible from a long way off. What is clear is that the best stone became difficult to access by quarrying and was then exploited to a small extent by mining under the existing quarry faces.
