Quarrying first began here in the 1790s predominantly as a source of fluxing stone for the Midlands' iron and steel works, then latterly as a major aggregates producer. The site closed in 1992, although there are still intermittent workings of the area. Ownership of Middle Peak involved up to as many as forty separate landholdings.
