Re: Kemp Delph

It is a weird place really. I suppose it must at sometime have been a quarry. The thing is though that it isn't very big in area. It just goes vertically down, and doesn't really spread out much. We were told as children that we must never go in it because it is bottomless, not a true fact, but it is very deep.

It can't have been much of a commercial quarry. I wonder if it was the place where the stone was quarried for nearby Knuzden Hall, as it is the same type of sandstone?
