Path across former Southedge Quarry, Hove Edge

Southedge and Stubbins quarries covered a large area between Halifax Road and Sutcliffe Wood; stone was also mined. After these closed the land was used for waste disposal and the site was then capped and turned into a vast hay field. The part of the site next to Halifax Road is likely to be developed for housing before long, whereas the western part next to the wood is to be held in reserve. The path is heading towards Halifax Road, but is not one of the rights-of-way that cross the site.
