  • Parish Council Guide for Residents
    CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH PARISH WELCOME PACK TITLE www.chapel-en-le-frithparishcouncil.gov.uk PARISH COUNCILGUIDE FOR RESIDENTS Contents Introduction The Story of Chapel-en-le-Frith 1 - 2 Local MP, County & Villages & Hamlets in the Parish 3 Borough Councillors 14 Lots to Do and See 4-5 Parish Councillors 15 Annual Events 6-7 Town Hall 16 Eating Out 8 Thinking of Starting a Business 17 Town Facilities 9-11 Chapel-en-le-Frith Street Map 18 Community Groups 12 - 13 Village and Hamlet Street Maps 19 - 20 Public Transport 13 Notes CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH PARISH WELCOME PACK INTRODUCTION Dear Resident or Future Resident, welcome to the Parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith. In this pack you should find sufficient information to enable you to settle into the area, find out about the facilities on offer, and details of many of the clubs and societies. If specific information about your particular interest or need is not shown, then pop into the Town Hall Information Point and ask there. If they don't know the answer, they usually know someone who does! The Parish Council produces a quarterly Newsletter which is available from the Town Hall or the Post Office. Chapel is a small friendly town with a long history, in a beautiful location, almost surrounded by the Peak District National Park. It's about 800 feet above sea level, and its neighbour, Dove Holes, is about 1000 feet above, so while the weather can be sometimes wild, on good days its situation is magnificent. The Parish Council takes pride in maintaining the facilities it directly controls, and ensures that as far as possible, the other Councils who provide many of the local services - High Peak Borough Council (HPBC) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) also serve the area well.

  • Wright, Paul (2018) Anglo-Saxon Lead from the Peak District
    UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM Department of Archaeology ‘Anglo-Saxon lead from the Peak District; where does it lead? A new approach to sourcing Anglo-Saxon lead’ By Paul Wright, BSc., PhD. MRSC. Module MR4120 Dissertation presented for MSc (by research) in Archaeology September 2017 1 I certify that: a) The following dissertation is my own original work b) The source of all non-original material is clearly indicated c) All material presented by me for other modules is clearly indicated. d) All assistance has been acknowledged 2 ABSTRACT The lead industry, like others, declined and then collapsed at the end of Roman Britain and both the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxons recycled metal for a long period before fresh lead appeared. A new methodology has been developed, which uses tin as a marker for recycled Roman lead. Analysis of lead artefacts shows that along the Derwent/ Trent/ Humber corridor recycled Roman lead was continuing in use in the 5th-7th centuries, and plentiful fresh lead first appears in the record in the 9th century, with no tin. There is a widespread gap in artefacts from the 8th century, which implies that recycled lead had been exhausted. The main source of Anglo-Saxon lead in this region is probably the Derbyshire Peak District, but the lead isotope analysis is not definitive, due to the normal constraints such as the overlap of ore field signatures. Also the analytical method gives a broad peak, which reduces discrimination. The recent method of Pollard and Bray, which asks about what differences in lead isotope ratios show rather than provenance have been employed.

  • Peak District Landscape Strategy 2009
    www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 4: Dark Peak Western Fringe Peak District National Park Authority Dark Peak Western Fringe Pob Green Uppermill © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Dark Peak Western Fringe comprises the sloping and lower lying landscapes of the Goyt, Etherow and Tame valleys. It contrasts with the Dark Peak in that, although it includes enclosed moorland landscapes, it is more settled and has been cultivated to a much greater degree than is the case in the adjoining wilder uplands. Equally, the early industrial character of the former mill settlements is very different from that of the adjoining coalfields in the Manchester Pennine Fringe. Mills are a prominent feature of this area exploiting local power sources: firstly employing the streams running off the Dark Peak for power and from the 18th century using some of the coal mined locally. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 4: Dark Peak Western Fringe Fast flowing streams have created deeply incised cloughs and valleys Physical influences whose sides are clothed with acid grassland and bracken, with As in the other areas surrounding the Dark Peak, the physical occasional relic heathland vegetation such as bilberry. The numerous structure of the Dark Peak Western Fringe is strongly influenced flushes and springs arising at the junctions of gritstone and shale on by the underlying geology. This comprises a sequence of shales clough sides support particularly botanically rich communities whose and gritstones belonging to the Millstone Grit series, which have species composition varies according to water chemistry. The banks been eroded in different ways to produce a distinctly undulating of clough streams and upland rivers support small numbers of grey topography.

Although the landscape section of this chapter concerns itself specifically with landscape and townscape effects, the scale of the proposal and the distances considered, require that views and visual amenity play a part in the understanding and descriptions of townscape and landscape types. Visual amenity is considered separately.
