Lancashire quarries bouldering?

Work in Blackburn now which is pretty near to Wilton et al just wondering if any of the quarries around here were worth going to in an evening for some bouldering.  Obviously Longridge, any others?

Brownstones!! Seems like a pretty cool place although the quality and cleanliness varies (i.e. like anywhere in Lancashire). Proper quarried grit bouldering.

the long back wall at brownstones is amazing.  ignore the shit top outs, theyre ok. its the only unpolished bit.
The long traverse beneath chimney butress and beyong  in wilton 1 is very very good.
Wilton 3 has another traverse and loads of problems to discover yourself.
