Thanks for the edits. The sign at the gates actually reads "Kirkstone Quarries", and Burlington seem to be the first/only ones to use the spelling "Pett's", previously only the spelling "Pets" has been used. (Defra and OS both use "Pets")
Do you know if it is still active or can the abandoned: tag be added? (from what I understand it is more or less abandoned now)

I'm reading the book Slate Mining in the Lake District by Alastair Cameron and it called it Petts. It went bust in 2012 and was bough by Burlington
http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/9707126.Burlington_takes_on_failed_firm_s_quarry/
On their website they call it Petts, http://www.burlingtonstone.co.uk/company/heritage/
From the horses mouth? however if you feel it's wrong, please do as you wish, I'm not attached to it ;-) -

Thanks for the info, I've added the other names I mentioned into an alt_name tag. :D

Sorry to butt in. The area is called Pets Brae, so Pets would be right. However I bet it's a tax thing from the 2012 bankruptcy - a similar but different name for the new company. it's still active it seems also.
