As depicted on the first-edition OS map, which was surveyed in 1860, there were quarries on both sides of the road, their near edges being roughly where the houses shown in this picture now stand. The house to the left of the road is called Quarry Cottage. A building was depicted as standing in about the same place on the first-edition map, when the quarries were still in use; that may be why the name of that house, in particular, recalls their former presence.
