The Roystone Grange limestone quarry was developed around the time of the First World War and this magazine was constructed well away from the workings. It remains in good condition although now inhabited by sheep.

The Roystone Grange limestone quarry was developed around the time of the First World War and by 1920 was using compressed air drills to assist in extracting the stone. This compressor house to supply the air was erected some distance away where there was a spring that supplied water to cool the oil engines and compressors. The structure has been secured and the roof is sound but it stands empty and unused.
