Your right about the claiming of the Land as public property however the estates intention is in no way to defraud the public as the land will be donated back to the council according to the current plans and will be registered as a public common.
There have been a few misunderstanding with regard to the actual site, in fact the quarry is not Huncoat quarry which is still in use but is Hambledon quarry to the rear of Hambledon common and Hambledon scouts which according to ordnance survey is disused. The quarry is accesible via farm track only which is accessed from the bypasss, Haslingden bound before the united utilities access road to Mitchells house.
