  • The Right Hand Man
    It’s easy to take for granted the awesome endeavours of 19th Century railway pioneers which thread us seemlessly through, round or over the nation’s natural barriers. It was an age of speculative adventure, built on innovation, will power and elbow grease. But many magnificent creations were abandoned during the industrial vandalism of the fifties and sixties. In this series of articles, Graeme Bickerdike celebrates some of them. Forgotten Relics of an Enterprising Age The Right Hand Man To some, he was the saviour of Usually this uphill struggle proved the Midland Railway’s Buxton branch the railways; to others, he was insurmountable but, at the western edge bowed to the inevitable.

  • Pedal Peak District Final Report
    Pedal Peak District Final Report December 2009 – March 2011 Description Pedal Peak District was the Peak District National Park Authority’s premier cycling development project, funded and supported by the Department for Transport and Cycling England, from December 2009 to 31 March 2011. The project was fully supported by Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire Dales District Council and Visit Peak District. Pedal Peak District has delivered significant infrastructure development and a social marketing programme. The Infrastructure work constituted a major element of this project. At the time of writing a great deal has been achieved and the works are still continuing for a late spring 2011 opening. The four closed tunnels have been cleared, surveyed and repaired and the entrance doors removed. Work is currently taking place to install a power supply and lighting. The tunnels, structures and a large proportion of the trail is also to be resurfaced and the access improved at Blackwell Mill Cottages, Great Longstone and Coombs Road. New signs will be put up on the trail, along with interpretation about the new route. This will include listening posts outlining the history of the tunnels. This work has involved the balancing of a large number of needs including detailed consideration of the unique landscape, conservation and heritage features of the trail, tunnels and the surrounding area. These features, and the issues that they raise, together with the limited project timescale have meant that the full link to Buxton through Woo Dale cannot be achieved in the project term. Planning consent has been achieved, through Peak Cycle Links, for a section of route to the north of Buxton at Staker Hill.
