Description
The dates are assumed. The Railway Clearing House name is Peter's Crook, the name of a farm just to the south west. This quarry, which might be described as Watleyhirst Quarry, was served by a looped siding off the Waverley Route. The loop was on the west side of the line. To the north it connected to the northbound line and to the south to the southbound line. There was a tramway to the quarry, by the Liddel Water, and a coal depot for the works, served by a siding on the west side of the loop.
The quarry was north of Penton station. It was part of the Kingsfield House estate (the house is about a mile to the east).
