The layers of the right hand panel here relate to the first panel which shows the remains of a Cragg quarry in Rossendale. Now disused, the quarry has been repurposed as a mountain bike trails centre.

The layers include images of workers in the quarry in the 19th century and a memoir describing the great ‘Cowpe Flood’ of 1838 which destroyed homes throughout the valley below.
