Chippies Quarry is named after Isaac Chippindale, who started the Scholes Brick and Tile Works on Wood Lane.

The company's quarry produced high-quality bricks used to build houses in the area.

Its kilns and house were demolished in the early 1980s, leaving two small fishing lakes - known as Chippies Quarry.
