E-mail: [email protected] 12 13 ABSTRACT 14 The exploitation of river systems for power and navigation has commonly been achieved through 15 the installation of a variety of in-channel obstacles of which weirs in Britain are amongst the most 16 common. In the UK, the historic value of many of these features is recognised by planning 17 designations and protection more commonly associated with historic buildings and other major 18 monuments. Their construction, particularly in the north and west of Britain, has often been 19 associated with industries such as textiles, chemicals, and mining, which have polluted waterways 20 with heavy metals and other contaminants. The construction of weirs altered local channel gradients 21 resulting in sedimentation upstream with the potential as well for elevated levels of contamination 22 in sediments deposited there. For centuries these weirs have remained largely undisturbed, but as a 23 result of the growth in hydropower and the drive to improve water quality under the European 24 Union’s Water Framework Directive, these structures are under increasing pressure to be modified 25 or removed altogether.

  • Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope
    Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope Report on the historical research for the Medieval common people in Castleton and Hope villages. Produced as part of the Lives of the Common People project, January 2012 - July 2013. By Di Curtis, Angela Darlington, Kay Harrison, Jeanette Holmes, Patricia Miles, Ann Price, John Talbot and Bill Bevan. Castleton and Hope Historical Societies July 2013 Castleton Historical Society and Hope Historical Society Abstract Angela Darlington The period covered by this document extends over nearly 600 years from the Norman Conquest to the English Civil War. In focusing on the lot of the common people of Castleton and Hope, it provides a backcloth in terms of the land that they occupied, and some of the most important influences in their day-to-day lives. They raised their families in unpredictable circumstances affected by the vagaries of climate and disease. In what was already a difficult existence, they also had to contend with the constraints of forest rule and the onerous burden of taxation. The church and the lead-mining industry both played a central part in these two North Derbyshire communities. The scene is set with William the Conqueror’s great Domesday survey and a discussion of the differences between the two villages in terms of land areas, taxable value and administration as described for 1066 and 1086. At the time of the Norman Conquest Hope was a larger and much more important settlement than Castleton, but within 20 years of the Conquest was apparently declining in economic status whilst Castleton was growing. Hopedale within the Royal Forest of Peak was the home of Hope and Castleton villages and so Forest Law was central to the people that lived and worked there.

  • Cycling in the Peak District
    CYCLING IN THE PEAK DISTRICT About the Author Chiz Dakin’s cycle touring adventures almost happened by accident, when after a local photography trip by bike she realised that she’d done 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load. This led to the disconnected logic that if she could do that once, she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land’s End to John o’ Groats route. Since then she’s done several other multi-day trips including a pio- neering Welsh coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent) but still maintains that you don’t need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi- day routes. (She certainly makes no claim to being either!) She has pre- viously won an Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild award for her photography.

Some features are prominent and regionally or nationally important, for example Mam Tor. Other features seem insignificant in their own right, however their importance lies in what they tell us about the overall historic landscape of Edale. The earliest features date from prehistory. These include findspots of stone tools, most of which have been found eroding out of peat on the moorlands, later Neolithic/early Bronze age burial barrows and the later Bronze age/early Iron Age hillfort on Mam Tor. During the Medieval period the survey area was within the Royal Forest of the Peak.

  • BOLE HILL QUARRY, GRINDLEFORD by Alan Jacques
    BOLE HILL QUARRY, GRINDLEFORD By Alan Jacques Many visitors to the Peak do not realise that much of the landscape in they come to enjoy and experience in a variety of outdoor pursuits has been man made, as a result of the traditional local industry of quarrying. Millstones have been produced since at least the thirteenth century, there were scores of small independent operators and the owners of large estates like Chatsworth and Haddon owned large quarries specifically to provide building stone for their grand houses and estate villages. The eastern edges of Millstone, Burbage and Stanage were all extensively quarried. Other important sites were at Fallinge Edge near Rowsley, Cracken Edge above Chinley and the outcrops around Stanton in Peak and Birchover. Grindleford and Stoke were also renowned for their quarries that produced exceptionally good quality gritstone. In addition to the well-known Stoke Hall Quarry, which is still active today, the village was almost surrounded by quarrying activities. At various times there were working quarries at Oak’s Wood, Tedgness, Tumbling Hill, Pinnacle Quarry, Yarncliffe, Fallcliffe (2 sites), White Edge, Mag Clough, Riley off Eyam New Road, Sandy Lane, Gill’s Quarry between Hathersage Road and Sir William Hill Road and the Parish Quarry on Sandy Lane – known now as the Parish Piece. The one area which in its’ day was a “super-quarry” to rival that of any current working site, was Bole Hill Quarry, at Upper Padley above Grindleford Station. Work here prompted mini-boom in the population, as a small temporary “shanty town” was built to house workers and their families.
