Built in simple Gothic architectural style, this three-storey, four bedroom farmhouse has enchanting rural views over the gardens and the Ecclesbourne Valley beyond.

  • Rural Discontent in Derbyshire 1830·1850
    RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSHIRE 1830·1850 Alan Frank Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Sheffield January 2004 ii Alan Frank Jones RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSlllRE 1830-1850 ABSTRACT Social protest, especially in agricultural regions, has occupie~ and caused considerable debate among, historians for many years. This thesis seeks to add to this debate, by looking at various forms of protest in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. This thesis examines three aspects of criminal activity: poaching, arson and animal maiming. It contends that none of these crimes can simply be categorised as acts of protest. In conjunction with an investigation of these three crimes, acts of protest such as strikes and episodes of reluctance to conform are also discussed. It argues that the motives behind various criminal activities and anti-authority behaviour were varied and complex. Arson and animal maiming were rarely co-ordinated, mostly they were individual attacks. However, on a few occasions both arson and animal maiming were directed against certain people. In the instances of poaching, there were more proven cases of gang participation than in either arson or animal maiming, with groups of men raiding game preserves. However, the great majority of raids were individual undertakings. What is more, poaching was carried out on a greater scale throughout the county than either arson or animal maiming. This thesis seeks to put these activities into the context of economic and social change in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. It maintains that there was a breaking down of the old social order.

  • Cromford and Shining Cliff Forest Plan 2018 to 2028
    Cromford & Shining Cliff Forest Plan 2018 — 2068 1 Cromford and Shining Cliff Forest Plan 2018 to 2028 Copy of felling licence to be included here once plan is approved Summary The Cromford and Shining Cliff Forest Plan (FP) summarises proposals by the Forestry Commission for the management of Cromford (84.7ha) and Shining Cliff Woods (79.1ha) which lie 5km south of Matlock and 17km northwest of Derby respectively. Both woodlands form prominent features in the local landscape, with the ‘Black Rocks outcrop at Cromford Moor being the highest ground in the local vicinity and Shining Cliff situated adjacent to the A6 that runs between Derby and Manchester. The FP lies within the “Derbyshire Peak Fringe and Lower Derwent Landscape character area which forms a picturesque transitional area between the natural beauty of the Peak District National Park to the west and the largely urban, formerly mined Derbyshire Coal Measures to the east. Cromford Moor is classified as secondary woodland and is situated on what was once moorland; consequently the regeneration of acidophilous dwarf shrub heath along ride sides and across the newly created open areas is now showing. The plateau is dominated by conifer plantation and the escarpment’s with mixed woodland that contain some naturally regenerating native woodland characteristics. Shining Cliff Wood is an ancient woodland site designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified for the ancient semi- natural oak-birch woodland, and the flora and associated fauna of it’s wet flushes and stream sides. Blocks of conifers were planted 50 years ago in the northern half of the woodland and these are now scheduled in the FP for removal.

  • Dukes Quarries – Interpretative Guide
    DUKES QUARRIES – INTERPRETATIVE GUIDE Dukes Quarries comprise a cluster of sandstone workings scattered over half a mile in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage at Whatstandwell, Derbyshire. Started over 200 years ago, they include the only building stone quarry still operating in the DerwentWISE area. They have supplied resilient stone, often as large blocks, nationally to projects as varied as prisons, bridges, churches, docks and stations. This guide provides a brief glimpse into that story. This guide has been drafted by Ian Thomas, (former Director of the National Stone Centre) a geologist and quarry historian. Its preparation is one of the projects of DerwentWISE (the Lower Derwent Valley Landscape Partnership), supported by the National Lottery Heritage. A sister project, Delving into Quarry Heritage, has generated much of the historic content; the research contribution of Grenville Smith has been especially significant and is gratefully acknowledged. INTRODUCTION How to use this guide The Guide covers the Dukes Quarries area under three main topics: Geology – features seen in the rocks themselves History – the story of activities and the items made here Ecology – the pattern of wildlife after quarrying The Guide begins with a general account of each subject. The second part identifies possible things to look out for on site. The whole area is generally known as Dukes Quarries, named after the main owner, the Duke of Devonshire. Within this are five main sections of the site which together cover an area about 0.75km from south to north and 0.5km wide (see general location map on page 2): Old Quarry – infilled – no access Bridge or South Quarry – a single long quarry face Middle Hole – currently an active quarry with strictly no access North or Winson Quarry (sometimes referred to alone, as Duke’s Quarry) – two main quarry areas – a single opening in the west, whereas the eastern part includes a number of individual faces.
