The area is popular with walkers and hikers, many stopping to see Waugh's Well, a hillside memorial to the Lancashire Dialect writer and poet Edwin Waugh.
Waugh died at his home in New Brighton, near Liverpool, in 1890 and was buried in St. Paul's churchyard on Kersal Moor.
Soon after, in 1862 Edwin Waugh describing Manchester in the Cotton Famine mentions 'swarms of strange, shy, sad-looking singers and instrumental performers in the work-worn clothing of factory-operatives'.
