 The quarries were up to deep at the beginning of the 20th century and, from the 19th century, a tramway (a single track, standard gauge railway) was used to transport stone to the quayside at Bromborough.A portion of the tramway embankment still exists as footpath and a section of the rails have been re-installed by the Bromborough Society.Some rails were embedded at a former level crossing on Rest Hill Road until 1979 when they were buried under a new layer of tarmac.
