Hardendale Quarry
Hardendale Quarry (or Shapfell Quarry) was opened in 1962 to supply limestone for the Scottish steel industry. Extraction ceased in 2009 because either lateral or vertical enlargement would have changed the water table.
Plans are now underway to keep the lake and create a haven for wildlife including a hibernacula and bund for amphibians and reptiles.
