Track to Sands House Lane
This is the start of a recently re-surfaced track that leads from Blackmoorfoot Road to Sands House Lane. The new crushed sandstone surface finishes at the end of the "park home" type development by the edge of Moorfield Quarry. Castle Hill and Victoria Tower can be seen on the horizon far right of shot.

Sand Quarry off Sands House Lane
Little has changed since the 2007 photo
Image, except perhaps the viewing platform and information board are new. The latter says that this is one of "Johnsons Wellfield Quarries".

Blackmoorfoot Road, Crosland Hill, Lockwood
This used to be called Manchester Old Road, and is a long, evenly graded climb, probably straightened when it was improved as a turnpike road (the Wakefield and Austerfields Trust) in 1759. This road continues to Marsden and Standedge, but was replaced by the road that became the A62 in the early 19C. Out of sight on the left is the Standard (now Black Cat), fireworks factory. The pub is the Sands House and the road to the right Sands House Lane.
