Pingot Quarry waterfall in spring

This is a shot from closer to home and a place I have visited since childhood. A former stone quarry site that now features a nice little waterfall known as Pingot Quarry and located on Crompton Moor near Shaw, Oldham

Location trivia:

Extensive quarry operations for the extraction of the Helpet Edge Rock took place in the latter part of the 19th Century and the early 20th Century over the western part of the site at Pingot and Brushes Clough Quarries. The old quarry working faces and waste heaps remain on the site.
