Abstract:		 The Earthwork Survey has been undertaken by MAP Archaeological Practice Ltd., under instruction from Keepmoat Homes, to record the quarry buildings, equipment, working areas and tips prior to a residential development at Fagley Quarry and Radfield Quarry, Fagley Lane, Eccleshill, Bradford, West Yorkshire. The Proposed Development Area is located to the west of Fagley Lane, in the hamlet of Fagley in the township of Eccleshill, now part of Bradford. Fagley Quarry is a NonDesignated Heritage Asset on the West Yorkshire Historic Environment Record and was Identified in 1997 as part of the Monuments Protection Programme. Sandstone and Elland flags were quarried and worked in the mid-nineteenth century from both quarries, with the earliest workings depicted on OS mapping, located to south of Throstle Nest Farm; operations continued at both Fagley and Radfield Quarries into the late-nineteenth century, declining there-after. At the time of the survey quarrying at Radfield Quarry hadn’t been undertaken in sometime, however Fagley Quarry was still in use by the Hard York Quarries. Several remnant structures from the hay-day of these nineteenth century works included: a derelict Steam Powered Scotch Derrick Crane located in Fagley Quarry; as well as one crane base in Radfield Quarry; and four crane bases in Fagley Quarry. At the southern entrance to Radfield Quarry on Fagley Lane is a Cart Turning in the Field wall. The search of the West Yorkshire Archives in Leeds and Bradford and the National Archives was undertaken, providing no specific information on Fagley Quarry. The archives for Joseph Booth and Smiths Cranes, Rodley revealed the Steam Derrick Crane on site was not manufactured there.
