Mum issues deadly quarry demand after losing knee in horror 40ft fall

A mum-of-three called for a quarry to be "drained and filled up" after the death of a Southport teenager over the weekend.

Lancashire Police and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service were called by the Ambulance Service at around 9.40pm on Saturday (July 9) to a report that a boy had got into difficulty in the water at Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge, West Lancashire. Following a search, the body of a 16-year-old boy was recovered from the water.

He was later identified as Jamie Lewin from Southport. The Appley Bridge quarry - which has cost three lives in 23 years - has been branded a "death trap" by a woman who suffered severe injuries after she fell 40 feet off the site.
