Limestone quarrying grew enormously in scale throughout the 20th century reaching a peak of 8.5 million tonnes in 1990. In 2008/9 4.1 million tonnes of limestone was quarried for aggregate uses and 3.8 million tonnes for non-aggregate uses from within the Park. In 2008-09 there were 13 quarries with permission to extract limestone in the Peak
