Grid Reference: SK 06050 81386 This Heritage Statement has been prepared to support a Planning Application for the construction of a 10,000 sq.ft. warehouse extension to an existing factory unit. Commissioned by the applicants, this Heritage Statement will: Existing Site Plan • Assess the past use of the site, based on readily available records in order to provide an understanding of the history of the place. • Identify any heritage assets which may be impacted by a proposed development and describe its significance, including any contribution to that significance that may be made by the asset’s setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to asset’s significance and should allow the planning authority to understand potential impacts to that significance. • Consider whether any further specialist work is required. The site, which lies within an allocated Primary Employment Zone, contains an existing factory building with associated car parking and services. Bowden Park also contains part of the historic route of the Peak Forest Tramway which ran along the southern edge of the site. This is a designated heritage asset (Derbyshire HER 99011) and dates from 1796. This application does not effect: Any Scheduled Monuments; Or Archaelogical Notification Area; Or Listed Buildings; Or Conservation Areas; Or Historic Parks & Garden. Proposed Site Plan with development area highlighted Heritage Statement Doric Crimped, Bowden Park, Chapel-en-le-Frith Existing Site Context Current Site Description The site contains an existing commercial building with associated car parking and servicing areas. There are extensive areas of open land within the site to the south and west of the building. The western area has become overgrown with immature trees and scrub. The site is elevated above the main A624 road to the north which increases in height towards the west where the new building is proposed. There is a steep embankment along this boundary which has been heavily planted with trees in the past and which provides a relatively effective screen. Aerial photograph of the site area. The site is to the north of a residential development which is set at a lower level. There is a dense group of trees that lie between the existing building on the site and these houses, most of which are subject to a Tree Preservation Order. The site also contains the route of an historic tramway which ran at the base of an embankment. This area is now covered by trees and scrub planting. Also beyond the site, to the south and west, runs the Black Brook watercourse. Due to the raised level of the site and the brook’s distance away this does not constitute a flood risk. Existing Structures The site contains the existing two storey factory building which is functional is appearance, this was constructed in 2000. The unit contains office, storage and manufacturing uses associated with the business. The office accommodation and parking is located facing the Bowden Lane entrance. The existing building is functional in appearance with metal clad walls, profiled metal roof and large roller shutter doors for materials access. Existing photos looking towards houses on Brook Fold. (The bottom of the bank is the presumed route of the tramway. ) Tramway Route Along the south and west of the site the ground level falls away to a trough which follows the boundary edge of the site. This is the original route of the route of the Peak Forest Tramway which ran along the edge of the site and dates from 1796. This area of the site is heavily wooded with mature trees and scrub planting. Along this edge of the site, the boundary line is marked with a dry stone wall. There is no indication that this wall is original to the tramway. The original route of the tramway has been broken outside the boundary of the site by the later installation of main roads: the A624 Ferodo Link Road (Forsters Way) and Bowden lane.

Heritage Statement Extracts from Historic Ordnance Survey plans Doric Crimped, Bowden Park, Chapel-en-le-Frith Historical Site Context General From reviewing historical map information the site and surrounding area appears to have been an open and/ or wooded area. Between 1796 and 1925 the south and west edges of the site were used as part of the Peak Forest Tramway . This was used for the transportation of lime and limestone by a metal railway with wagons drawn by horse or by gravity on some sections. In the 1980s the Forsters Way (Ferodo Link Road) was constructed to link to the A6 dual carriage way. Since 1990 this site has been used for light industrial purposes. Tramway Development To the north of the site, on the opposite side of the A624, a historic landfill “In 1803 the tramway was made double-track, with the exception of Stodhart Tunnel and below Buxton Road Bridge, using the same site was located. The existing building is protected by gas protection method of fixing the rails.” measures to vent any gas build-up. “The most important surviving features of the tramway are the elevated tramway branch at Bugsworth Basin, Stodhart Tunnel and the self-acting inclined plane at Chapel-en-le-Frith, known as the Chapel inclined plane. The elevated tramway branch forms part of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Bugsworth Basin.” [2] The Stodhart Tunnel is Grade II* listed and is believed to be one of oldest Peak Forest Tramway railway tunnels in the world. Only one portal of the tunnel survives after the other was destroyed by a road re-alignment in 1949. The aspect of the site which has historical significance is the original route of the Peak Forest Tramway. This is a designated heritage asset (Derbyshire HER 99011) and dates from 1796. General Description “The Peak Forest Tramway was an early horse- and gravity-powered industrial railway (or tramway) system in Derbyshire, England. Opened for trade on 31 August 1796, it remained in operation until the 1920s. Much of the route and the structures associated with the line remain. The western section of the line is now the route of the Peak Forest Tramway Trail. The tramway was originally planned to be about 4 miles (6 kilometres) long from Chapel Milton to Dove Holes. However, it was decided to start the tramway at Bugsworth (now called Buxworth) and, as built, it was about 6 miles (10 kilometres) long. Its purpose was to carry limestone from the vast quarries around Dove Holes down to Bugsworth Basin via Chapel-en-le-Frith and Chinley, where much of it was taken by boat along the Peak Forest Original Sleeper blocks at Bugsworth Basin Canal and the Ashton Canal to Manchester and beyond. The remaining limestone was put into lime kilns at Bugsworth where it was converted into "Bugsworth 058063" by RHaworth.

Bowden Park Bowden Park is situated near the middle of the Peak Forest Tramway route. To the north-west of the site (near the Hayfield Road and the A6 flyover ) is the Stodhart Tunnel. The tramway then wound its way towards the Townend Ironworks, just of Sheffield Road, near the centre of Chapel-en-le-Frith. The location of the original tramway route is apparent by grading of the ground down to a sunken trackway on the south and west boundaries of the site. On the site boundary a dry stone wall is visible between the domestic properties and the Bowden Park site. There is no indication that this dry stone is original to the Bowden Park tramway. (approx. location) The trackway may contain originally elements of infrastructure such as: sleeper blocks, retaining walls and squeeze stiles. However, it is apparent from the site photographs that elements which do exist will be buried beneath scrub planting and the mature trees which have grown up along the route. The tramway in the area of the site follows the natural gradient of the land and does not contain features such as: elevated sections; tunnels or self-acting gravity lifts as seen at Chapel Inclined Plane.

Their knowledge and assistance has proven invaluable within the preparation of this document. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THE SITE Bugsworth Canal Basin can rightly be considered as one of the most important industrial heritage sites in the United Kingdom, although this significance can also to assessed on an international basis. However when assessing the significance of the site, an important consideration to make initially is to emphasise that the Basin is an entirely man made resource which has been imposed on the River Blackbrook valley landscape. Between 1794 and c.1870, Bugsworth Basin developed from a small canal-head wharf into a full scale transhipment port through the construction of a series of additional channels, wharves and lime kilns, combined with the continuing development of the Peak Forest Tramway to satisfy the increasing industrial demand for limestone, gritstone and lime.

    Chapel-En-Le-Frith Parish Neighbourhood Plan Provides a Vision for the Future of the Parish

    Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-2028 EXAMINATION VERSION . 1 Introduction A Neighbourhood Plan is a new type of planning document. It is part of the new approach to planning, which aims to give local people more say about what goes on in their area. This is set out in the ‘Localism Act’ that came into force in April 2012. Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council wants to ensure that local people are involved in the choices that will help to shape our neighbourhood. This Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision for the area that reflects the views and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It has been produced, after much public consultation, on behalf of Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council by Chapel Vision - a volunteer group of local residents from across the Parish. This Neighbourhood Plan has been compiled following an examination of local housing, employment opportunities, including tourism, town and village centres, sustainable transport movement and the countryside within the Parish. The Neighbourhood Plan includes a number of policies for each of these areas, which are discussed within the Plan and listed in Appendix 1. These policies are based on evidence collected by Chapel Vision in the research phase of the compilation of the Neighbourhood Plan, which includes the views of the public. Chapel-en-le-Frith Neighbourhood Plan 2013 – 2028 The Neighbourhood Plan and evidence documents can be viewed via the link from the Parish Council website www.chapel-en-le-frithparishcouncil.gov. uk For any further information please contact: The Clerk to the Parish Council Town Hall Market Street Chapel-en-le-Frith High Peak SK23 0HP Tel: 01298 813320 1 Vision and status of the Neighbourhood Plan The Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Neighbourhood Plan provides a vision for the future of the Parish.

What other town in the region has more to offer than Marple? We cannot think of one that can boast two railway stations, its own theatre, a cinema, swimming pool, bustling pubs, café bars and restaurants (and even two brass bands). Add to that its countryside setting (5,000 of Marple’s 7,000 acres are in the Green Belt), the network of picturesque canals and its huge variety of independent shops and we believe we have something special to shout about.” However, the Marple Civic Society and many other local stakeholders and members of the community believe that Marple could and should be improved even further. Many places of interest in Marple are under-exploited and need developing for tourism, recreation and community purposes. The town was very much shaped by 18th century entrepreneurs Samuel Oldknow and Richard Arkwright. During this time Oldknow changed the face of Marple beyond all recognition, being the chief architect and driving force in the development and industrialisation of the area.

    The parish of Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside is located at the western edge of the Dark Peak landscape area of the Peak District National Park. In terms of area, approximately half of the parish is within the National Park, although it is worth noting the majority of development and population of the parish are outside of the National Park boundary. Chinley and Buxworth are the main settlements which are located to the north of the A6 road, outside the National Park. Historically, Chinley was a Anglo-Saxon settlement of scattered farmsteads. During the 17th century the local area was mined and quarried and consequently Chinley’s population grew. These local industries developed further following the building of the Peak Forest Canal and tramway in 1799 and again when the railway came in 1866. The addition of a passenger line in 1894 saw further population growth. However, the closures of the mines and quarry in the early 20th century saw the population decline. It declined further following WWII when the passenger service was reduced, however in recent years there has been a significant amount of new housing development in proximity of the parish and the area has become a very popular commuting area. Further development is also anticipated soon. New businesses have opened recently in the food and beverage, accommodation and childcare sectors. The area is a popular walking, cycling and horse-riding area with the Peak Forest Tramway Trail and Bugsworth Basin also popular attractions. Source: thanks to Chinley, Buxworth and Brownside Parish Council The parish straddles three landscape character areas within the Dark Peak; valley pastures with industry, enclosed gritstone upland and moorland hills and ridge as described in the Landscape Strategy (LSAP 2009).

So many parishes in S.E. Derbyshire have been dealt with in this Series that it was hoped and intended that the present volume would be devoted entirely to the High Peak district and would contain a compact group of adjacent parishes, an arrangement which always brings out in a peculiar degree the value of this method of printing the complete Marriage Registers of a whole district. Unfortunately it was not found possible to obtain sufficient MS. from the High Peak without delaying indefinitely the issue of the volume, already overdue. The latter third of the book, therefore, has been filled with the important Register of Repton, the MS. of which had been ready for some time. The Repton abstracts were made by Mr. Simpson and Mr. E. B. Smith ; those of Chapel-en-le-Frith, which contain so many entries of old-established Peak families as to be of exceptional interest to genealogists, were done by of Fairfield Mr. W. Braylesford Bunting ,; and those and Buxton are kindly supplied by Mr. John Brandreth and Mr.
