Bole Hill Plantation

The Round House, Ringinglow People correctly  assume that this curious building was a toll house on the Sheffield-Buxton turnpike road that came into being in the middle of the eighteenth century. However, before that it was a farm and by 1785 it had become an inn under the instructions of Lord John Murray of Banner Cross who drove the turnpike project and was a significant landowner in the local region.

Old milestone At Ringinglow near the entrance to the Norfolk Arms PH car-park on the north side of the road is the 5 miles from Sheffield stone on the route of the Sheffield to Chapel-en-Le Frith of 1758.
Clearly a replacement as it is unlike the other stones on this route.  Sheffield Town Hall was built in the 1890s so perhaps this stone dates from the late 19C or early 20C.
