Pingot Quarry, landslip
During the summer of 2009 a landslip occurred on the unstable quarry face. The large slab in the foreground parted from the rock above and slid forwards. The local authority (Oldham BC) erected a post and wire fence to keep the public away. To see the quarry in May 2009 (before the landslip) click LinkExternal link
