Not a great deal is known about the quarries that exploited Rainhill Stone. However, a small quarry (Mill Hill Quarry) can be seen on the 1850's O.S. Map and Watson (1911: 152) records it as still being expoited in 1911. It was most famously used for the interior of the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool built between 1880 - 1978 (Watson 1911: 152). Today the area has been built over. |
