Footpath in Helsby Quarry
Helsby Quarry Woodland Park was once a working quarry called Mountskill Quarry. Sandstone was extracted from the early 1800s until the 1920s, the site being used as a tip until it was reclaimed and transformed in the late 1980s and opened as a Local Nature Reserve in 1990. Nearby is a rock tunnel through which a tramway once ran transporting sandstone to Ince pier on the River Mersey.

The Tunnel, Mountskill Quarry
Mountskill (Helsby) Quarry was an important source of employment in the village in the 19th century and until the 1920s. It had its own tramway link to Ince Pier whence the rock was shipped by barge to Liverpool - and used in many of the city's great buildings. It is now a Nature Reserve (with public access) and the main path from the village up through the quarry to Helsby Hill passes through this curved tunnel (seen here from the uphill side).
