Replanting Big Moor Plantation Until recently, "Big Moor Plantation" was a meaningless label for a largely empty field. This has now been rectified with the planting of new saplings.

First Prize at Grindleford Show It was the 71st Grindleford Village Show. In the marquee, this exhibit by Sarah Rockliff came first in "A Table Centre displayed in a container with a stem" (Category 113). The judge remarked that it was "a really beautifully delicate and balanced exhibit".

Valve House in Bole Hill Wood I deduce that it is connected to the water supply industry. It is well-maintained and almost certainly still in use. It's surprising that since Geograph began, no previous contributors appear to have photographed it.

Moss covered and abandoned millstones In Oxhay Wood. It is said that a day arrived in the early twentieth century when the demand for millstones suddenly dried up.

Ruin in Bole Hill Wood It looks for all the world like the remains of a Mayan temple but its past use was most certainly more mundane. Probably connected with historical stone quarrying in this vicinity.
