Welcome to the forum Rog.
The branch that you refer to is shown on maps and trackplan diagrams as leading to a disused Tarmac stone terminal. The diagram that I have shows it as single track leading to 2 sidings and a runround track but they might have been lifted when the line closed.
Apparently the line was originally opened by Railtrack and Manchester Airport plc in December 1997 for conveyance of stone from Peak Forest for use in the construction of the airport's Second Runway.
Hope this helps.
