Stone Quarry

A Memory of Sheriff Hill.

Can anyone tell me where the stone quarry was at Sheriff Hill? From 1944-1949 I lived at Springfield Place. My grandparents lived at Egremond Gardens. On the 1911 census my grand father and great-grandfather are living at Lilac House, Larne Crescent (not far from St. John's church). My great-grandfather is buried in St John's churchyard. Lilac House is private road so after a visit to Sheriff Hill, I found the grave but unfortunatley was not able to see the house. Due to my parents divorcing I never had any comunication with my father's family and they were all from Sheriff Hill. My grandparents were Thomas and Margaret Thirlwall from Egremond Gardens. He was a miner. My great-grandparents were George and Mary Thirlwall (Lilac House). He was a builder and his wife was a lot younger than him. Does annyone remember the quarry or the Thirlwalls? I am George Thirlwall,born 1944. Thank you.
