Old milestone
The Castleton 3 milepost on the A6187 has been kept well painted. It is on a narrow verge between the road and the River Noe about ½ mile east of the B6049 junction into Bradwell. The A6187 was the A625. It was renumbered after the collapse of the Mam Tor section, west of Castleton in 1981. The mileposts along this route are very similar to ones known to have been made at Darwin & Co. Sheffield. It is Grade II listed 1087854.
Old milepost
A view across the A6187 Hope Road showing how close to the edge of the road the milestone is. The River Noe is just over the hedge.
Signpost and repurposed phone box in Thornhill
Like many phone kiosks in rural settlements, this one now contains a defibrillator.
A Hope Valley View
Looking northwards from a train on the Hope Valley Line between Manchester and Sheffield, shortly after leaving Hope Station.
Hollow way beside a footpath
It's possible that this hollow way was part of an ancient rouute between Win Hill and the river valley to the south. It is overgrown now and the public footpath runs alongside the ditch.
Footpath steps climbing out of Hurst Clough
This is the start of an old field path into Bamford. When Bamford Filters waterworks was constructed, the path had to be diverted around the perimeter. The area is also much more wooded than it once was.
Derwent Aqueduct access gates and discharge well
The Derwent Aqueduct was laid to bring water from the Derwent to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. Its line is marked by distinctive access gates, like this one, which gives access to a discharge well. There is second gate, half buried in the undergrowth, in the background.
