Owner of quarry where teenager died makes desperate plea

The owner of a quarry where a teenager died on Saturday has urged people to stay away.

Jamie Lewin, 16, from Southport, died after getting into difficulty in the water at East Quarry, Appley Bridge on July 9. He was the third person to die in the water at the Lancashire quarry, following teenagers Miracle Godson in 2015 and Craig Croston in 2019.

Though there is fencing at the quarry and signs urging people to stay away, it continues to be a source of attraction during hot weather and visitors continued to try to access the water in the days after Jamie's death.
