The Rough Rock on top of Lister Mill Quarry by munki-boy
Lister Mill Quarry
A large, disused, sandstone quarry beside Anglezarke reservoir. Mostly overgrown with some areas popular for rock climbing.
There are a few industrial looking remains in the bottom of the quarry but these look to be for drainage and may relate to the reservoirs. There are also a couple of tiny ‘caves’ formed from gaps between fallen boulders that were popular for childhood games but are probably unsafe.
There are public car parks in what was the lower part of the quarry that are used as a starting point for the popular Woodland Trail around High Bullough and Anglezarke Reservoir.
