Pateley Bridge". Blocks and flags could be as large as 16 square feet (1.5 m) and 16 inches (410 mm) deep. Some of the stone was won by mining rather than surface quarrying and whilst spoil heaps are still in evidence, any mining shafts have been filled in. By 1889, seven distinct working areas were spread out across the hill above Pateley Bridge, all operating as Scotgate Ash Quarry.

261:. The incline lowered the stone over a height of 600 feet (180 m) and over a distance of 3,900 feet (1,200 m). The incline had many escape routes and, like many inclines in Britain, the loaded wagons moving downhill forced empty wagons to ascend the incline on the other line. The incline bottom connected directly into the NVR sidings with an additional spur onto the

Because of its durability and hard-wearing nature, Scotgate Ash stone was used in building the platforms at many mainline railway stations in the United Kingdom, as well as being in demand as a building stone, not only in the locality, but also at a national level with many significant buildings in

At the height of the quarrying operations in the 1890s, the quarry workings stretched out along the northern flank of
Pateley Bridge for over 0.62 miles (1 km). Five steam cranes were in operation and the workings employed over 500 men and boys. In October 1892, the valley suffered from extreme

The
Metcalfe family, who were landholders in the locality, had a major stake in Scot Gate Ash Quarry and by 1880, because of their influence, the quarry was the largest in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Metcalfe's installed a standard gauge inclined tramway in 1872 to transport the stone down the

The quarry produced flags and stone, which were from the
Libishaw Sandstone bed. This stone was also used in the building of Scar House Reservoir further up the valley. Libishaw Sandstone is described as "fine to medium-grained, micaeous, feldspathic, thin bedded sandstone of variable colour (buff,

The arrival of the railway in
Pateley Bridge in 1862, afforded the quarry owners the ability to export the stone from the dale for the first time. Scotgate Ash stone was used in building the
