High Peak Winter Hike Map the High Peak Trail Takes the Line of the Former Cromford and High Peak Railway Between Parsley Hey and Cromford

High Peak 2015_Layout 1 28-Oct-15 9:29 AM Page 1 High Peak Winter Hike map The High Peak Trail takes the line of the former Cromford and High Peak Railway between Parsley Hey and Cromford. The line originally connected the canals at Whaley Bridge and Cromford, running up the Goyt Valley to Buxton and across the limestone plateau to Middleton by Wirksworth, then down to Black Rocks and down again to the Cromford canal in the Derwent Valley below. Route stats:17.5 miles with 335 metres of climbing Emergency contact number: 07785 923074 The track was built in 1830, it was one of the earliest railways in the country. The line was purchased in 1971 by Derbyshire County Council and the Peak District National Park Authority and converted into a cycle track, and the trail makes a good day out. Some of the high embankments are especially noteworthy and unusual - the engineering is more reminiscent of a canal than a railway. Af&er the trail passes Minninglow, there are various industrial relics including the only old-style lime kiln still intact in Derbyshire. Further on it passes Harboro Rocks - the site of numerous archaeological finds from its caves - and various lime quarries and continues to the Hopton Incline. This was originally one of those with a fixed engine, but this was later removed and trains were hauled up this 1 in 14 incline by normal locomotives, making it the steepest such climb on the British Rail system. Beyond Hopton incline lies Middleton Top, where there is a visitor centre belonging to Derbyshire County Council and the Engine House belongs to Derbyshire Archaeological Society. The incline here is 1 in 8, so it's a steep descent to Middleton. The trail then continues past Black Rocks before descending the equally steep Sheep Pastures incline to the A6 and the Cromford canal by the Derwent. © British Heart Foundation 2015, registered charity FIGHT FIGHT in England and Wales (225971) and in Scotland (SC039426).

Acquaintances Renewed at the Reunion
NORTHERN DISTRICTS M ODEL ENGINEERING SOCIETY (PERTH) INC. November — December 2020 Acquaintances renewed at the reunion ‘we had to have’ TO paraphrase something former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating said when he was Treasurer many years ago: It was the reunion we had to have! Such was the success of our “reunion” on August 30. Over 50 past and present members came together at Balcatta for our first organised event this year and put our post-COVID organisational abilities to the test. This was helped by an increasing number of members who have successfully completed the AHA COVID hygiene course. The idea behind the day, approved at the July 26 members’ meeting, was to welcome back past and present members who had made a significant contribution to the club over the past 35 years and who we had not seen recently. We used the occasion to kick-start our activities again in preparation for a resumption of public running in post-COVID times. An interesting display of models greeted visitors when entering the grounds. A feature of the day was a display of model engineering projects undertaken by members — some projects were operational and others under construction. Over a dozen items were displayed. Those present were treated to a BBQ lunch with gourmet sandwiches and salads, during which our past members were welcomed back by president Geoff Wilkinson. Among the visitors was our second president Bill Marshall, who served three years as president in 1988-91 and then seven years as treasurer from 1991 to 1998. Also back with us were Noelene Langford Above: Members and guests enjoying lunch, with chefs Clive Chapman and Maxine Adams, widows of former presidents (at left) and Andy Davies taking a well-earned break.

SECTION of CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed
PLANNING & DEVEL. SERVICES H.E.R. STATEMENT : SECTION OF CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed Residential Development on land at Gisborne Yard, Old Road Whaley Bridge, High Peak [Outline Planning Application with all matters reserved] Peter D. Dalton BA (Dunelm) MRTPI, BSc Architectural Technology, MSc Technical Architecture 18th February 2013 The Application and the Historic Route of the Canal Railway A section of the route of the former Whaley Bridge canal basin to Cromford canal railway (referred to as the Cromford and High Peak railway) runs north south through the application site close to the eastern boundary. The features which have been identified as important to protect are :‐ a) the (buried) track bed which forms the access road along Caldene Terrace and continues through the Yard close to the eastern boundary b) the retaining wall along the eastern boundary and c) the buried tunnel/bridge beneath the Buxton to Manchester railway line (see Appendix 1 : Extract from the Monument Report compiled and supplied by Derbyshire County Council, Conservation Officer). The speculative scheme illustrated in the design and access statement demonstrates that a scheme for the residential development of the land at Gisbourne Yard could be achieved without compromising the route of the original canal railway or any of the features in the Monument Report (see Appendix 1). Recommendations in regard to the treatment of these features are made in the Statement. The Policy Famework The Saved Local Plan Policy relevant to the application is:‐ Policy 25 BC10 - ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND OTHER HERITAGE FEATURES Planning Permission will not be granted for development which is likely to result in harm to a Scheduled Ancient Monument or other nationally important site, its setting or amenity value.

Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
