Abstract: |
Thurns Head Quarry is a well-preserved example of a late 19th century sandstone quarry. It is extremely rich in associated features, including numerous structures and earthwork platforms representing quarryman's shelters, storage buildings and processing areas. Along with other monuments in the vicinity and beyond these are evocative reminders of the once important Rossendale stone quarrying industry. However many of the structures are in poor condition and require urgent remedial conservation work in order to preserve their integrity. Groundwork Pennine Lancashire has chosen one such structure, Thurn 34, which they have interpreted as being a quarrymen's hut, for early attention and have prepared a brief to guide the conservation process. A requirement of the work is an archaeological recording and monitoring programme. This report fulfils that requirement. |
