Pool Bank Quarries were a number of quarries located in the vicinity of Pool Bank. They were known to be working as early as 1851 and continued to supply building stone to Leeds after the 1860's.One place the stone from these quarries was used was the High Royds hospital in Menston in 1887. The Whittaker Brothers, the contractors chosen to build the hospital, built their own railway spur to transport the stone. The remnants of which can still be seen between the Arthington Junction and the main line at Menston.
