Lady Wall Well Lady Wall Well is on a corner of Bar Road, an old packhorse way to the top of Baslow Edge. "bar" is an old word for a steeply-climbing horse road. From the top of Baslow Edge, the old road continues on towards Chesterfield, for a way, before disappearing under modern tarmac.

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 these distinctive access gates and, in this case, a discharge well. The building, in the background and in a neighbouring grid square, is a valve house.

Wellington Monument Probably there’s many similar photos of this monument on the site, but it's worth posting photos taken from this angle to monitor the height of trees behind over time - when I was a wee lad we could see the memorial clearly from the A619 below, and it stood proud on one side of the valley with the Nelson memorial on the other. It isn’t visible from the road now.
