Eccleston Delph, a flooded quarry in the heart of Lancashire, was never meant to reveal its gruesome secret. But the body of Martin Johnstone never hit the bottom. Instead it came to rest on a ledge after the perpetrators of the most notorious deed in the history of crime in the North West, had bundled him over the edge.
The deepest part, as stated in a previous answer, is under the bow of the sunken cabin cruiser. The silt at that point is probably about 2 foot thick, although I have never been able to force my hand deep enough to make an accurate measure. On a year round basis, the maximum depth of the quarry is about 19.4 to 19.6 metres.
