Looked out from the top of Coldstones Cut Sculpture. if your looking for some food or a hot drink after doing this pop down to Toft Farm Cafe, well worth a visit.

Quarry.

A spectacular quarry is no substitute for a moorland hill trig! Not sure why pillars that are lost to quarrying can't be saved and either relocated or repurposed - the huge artwork/viewpoint "The Coldstones Cut" would have been even more stunning with a trig pillar centre stage, I reckon... As others have said, the pillar is long gone. Lovely site to visit, though.

After visiting Nabs, top and cut mark on hillside boulder, continued to Coldstones Cut on a sunny, windy day.

Just a big hole in the ground and yet far more interesting than some existing pillars. The information boards at the Coldstones Cut viewing area are fascinating (if you're even remotely interested in geology).

Coldstones quarry. Worker suggested we view the inner workings of the quarry (ie trig location as was) from the nearby Coldstones Cut view point.

Trig long gone, but Coldstones Cut viewing point overlooking where it once stood is well worth a visit. Described as 'a monumental piece of public sculpture' and at 418m (421m?) asl. Constructed and funded by Hanson Aggregates plus the local community.

Easily approached from the car park at the nearby Toft Green Lime Kiln which is well worth a walk around. Much better than the depressing hole in the ground nearby that includes the former pillar site.

No trace, former summit/trig area levelled with landscape banks. Built 27/10/53, destroyed 06/72, fb S7743 (OS). - former summit quarried away, graded spoil remains, dullish view

Big hole in the ground! (Coldstones Quarry). Footpaths shown on current OS 1:25000 have been diverted but access to quarry edge is feasible.

Greenhow Hill and Greenhow Moor [Note added 25 May 2004] This is puzzling! The map is OS 1:25000 Sheet SE 06/16 (Grassington & Pateley Bridge) dated 1983. It doesn't show a trig symbol for Greenhow Moor but it _does_ show one at Greenhow Hill top. I haven't checked the latter but would guess that in any case, its another quarry victim.
