Hutch Bank Quarry is located 1 km to the west of Haslingden town centre and occupies an elevated site to the north of the B6232 Grane Road, overlooking the town and western part of the Rossendale valley. The quarry has a longstanding history of sandstone extraction, but is currently dormant. Following a review by Lancashire Council a new schedule of conditions has been issued, meaning the quarry is able to resume operations at any time.
