Breck Quarry

The Breck Quarry in Adlington had a long history. Certainly working in the early nineteenth century, it continued to operate until the 1930s but has since laid derelict and reverting to nature. In the 1830s paving stones were shipped from here to Stockport via the Macclesfield Canal to High Lane and then by cart down the turnpike road that is now the A6.
