Former Woodside Quarry, looking north--east
There have been stone and sand quarries in this area for a very long time but this must have been extensive 20th century expansion. I have not been able to find out when operations ceased, but at least ten years ago since documents available online record a proposed housing development (complete with new railway station) that never happened.

This view from the top of Bramley Park shows the extent of the former quarry, which is the largest open space in the area at around 11 hectares. See
Image for a closer view from the edge of the quarry.

Woodside Quarry, Ireland Wood, Leeds
This quarry used to provide sandstone and gravel. Its now a favoured spot for motorbikes.
There was a plan to develop it for housing etc, together with a new station on the railway line beside it, and a Park and Ride scheme, but that is currently on hold.
