Entrance to Sandhills
Much of the red sandstone used for building in Manchester and the surrounding area, came from Collyhurst Quarry. The stone was transported the short distance into Manchester via the nearby River Irk on barges or rafts. The quarry is now disused and the area around it has been turned into a park called "Sandhills" http://www.irkvalley.info/sites/sandhills/siteinfo.html as part of Manchester City Council's Irk Valley Project http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/services_info.php?serviceID=2172 .
