The Eastern slopes of the valley were part of the royal forest. Disafforestation promoted the use of the areas natural resources and by the 18th century Whaley Bridge had developed as an important centre for transport routes for cotton, supply of coal and development of textile mills. Coal was transported on the Whaley branch of the Peak Forest Canal (1805). The Cromford and High Peak Railway expanded Whaley’s importance as a transhipment point.

    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume Two PART TWO THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN <2 6 ?- ti.«» *• 3 ^ 268 CHAPTER 14 EXPANSION FROM 1736 IGOSLING) TO 1771 (FAIRBANKS THE TOWN IN 1736 Sheffield in Gosling's 1736 plan was small and relatively compact. Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Appendix 6 High Peak Locality Public Health Plan 2017-18
    A HEALTHY HIGH PEAK – HIGH PEAK LOCALITY PUBLIC HEALTH PLAN 2017/18 Demographic profile The High Peak is a Borough Council area in the North of Derbyshire. At the time of the 2011 Census it had a population of about 91,000 distributed across 208 square miles. The largest town is Buxton (population 22,000) and the second largest is Glossop (population 17,500). Key statistics 1. Two lower super output areas (LSOA) in Glossop (making up Gamesley ward) fall within the 10% most deprived in England and are the fifth and tenth most deprived LSOAs in Derbyshire ( IMD 2015) 2. Male life expectancy at birth in Gameseley is 76.3 years compared with 79.3 for both Derbyshire and England (ONS). For females it is 79.3 years compared with 83 for both Derbyshire and England. 3. The most recent ONS figures for Jobseeks Allowance claimants (Nov 2016) show that Gamesley in Glossop has the second highest level in Derbyshire with a rate of 2.2%. Whitfield ranked 9th worst (1.7%). The comparable figures for High Peak are 0.7%, Derbyshire 0.8% and England 1.1%. 4. In the High Peak, a higher percentage of Jobseekers Allowance claimants are long term unemployed (over 12 months) compared to county or national rates (35.4% in High Peak equating to 145 people compared to33.7% in Derbyshire and 31.2% England). 5. The rates of people on Employment Support Allowance and Incapacity Benefits (May 2016) in High Peak at 5.6% are below the Derbyshire (6.3%) and England (5.9%) rates but these mask specific areas where ESA rates are much higher.
