Chinley Churn Trig Point (TP2162)

Highlight • Viewpoint

I take no credit for the photos I added to the highlight. These were taken from trigpointing.uk/trig/2162 I felt it was fitting to add them due to the Trig pillar having been removed by the Landowner a couple of years ago, and they are a lasting epitaph for others to see when they pass by this spot.

Cracken Edge Winding House

This old winding house used to house a winding engine, which is a machine that lowers and raises miners and materials into and out of mines. It is a part of the wider Cracken Edge Quarry that closed in the 1900s.
