Old quarry building at New Cottages
This appears to be the only remaining building relating to the extensive group of ironstone quarries served by the Denton Branch railway line. It was the office from which the quarries in the area between Harston and Denton were controlled. It was at the terminus of the system of narrow gauge railways that brought the ironstone from the quarry faces to the transfer point into the standard gauge Denton Branch.
