The huge Colsterworth No 2 Extension Quarry extended south-west from here almost as far as Stainby. The stile is the start of a footpath which crosses the restored quarry land, southwards for a few hundred yards, then westwards to the Viking Way near Buckminster. See other photos nearby for more on quarries and quarry railways in the area.
