Crawshawbooth Pinner Quarry Rossendale
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Pinner Quarry in Crawshawbooth, Rossendale, during the early 1900s. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era of Victorian and Edwardian history. Nestled in the rolling hills of Lancashire, Pinner Quarry was once a thriving center of industry, renowned for its high-quality blue-grey stone. In this image, we see the quarry in its early days, before the expansion and modernization that would come in later decades. The scene is one of rugged beauty and raw power. Massive blocks of stone loom in the foreground, their rough surfaces etched with the marks of human labor. In the background, the quarry workers, dressed in heavy clothing and protective gear, toil away, their small figures dwarfed by the towering cliffs. Despite the harsh conditions, there is a sense of community and camaraderie among the workers. They pause for a moment, perhaps for a much-needed break or to share a joke, as they survey the landscape before them. The sun casts long shadows over the quarry, adding a sense of drama and depth to the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the quarry workers and the harsh realities of their daily labor. It is a reminder of the importance of industry and the human spirit in shaping the landscape and history of our communities.
