This disused sandstone quarry lies in Lower Haughton near Arden Bridge over the river Tame. A map of 1848 shows that this quarry was being worked at this time.
There was another sandstone quarry in Haughton Green, situated on the west side of Haughton Green Road a short distance south west of the Clarke's Arms (subsequently The Top House and then, briefly, a convenience store).
