Unfortunately I don't have a grid ref for Scrubbing Mills. I don't possess a map of the area either. It is however only 100 yards at most from Hurdles Quarry. Bob would possibly be able to give you a grid ref.
For info, Bob has let me know that the grid ref for the Scrubbing Mills site is SD819218 at the NW end of Hurdles Quarry. It is at the top of the old chain road that starts behind Smith and Nephew at Cloughfold. It is where the flags from the quarry were prepared before being sent down the chain road to the railway sidings.
