Buxton - Peak District Villages
Presents the new Buxton video covering the beautiful places to see and visit in this town. The Derbyshire Peak District market town of Buxton has a number of claims to fame; as well as being the Capital of the High Peak, it is also at over 1000ft above sea-level the highest town of its size in England, and has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, venerated by those who have come for the reputedly magical curative powers of its Spa waters. Buxton History Our Neolithic ancestors had already populated the surrounding hills, leaving the marks of their passing at ancient gathering places like the Bull Ring, and at nearby Arbor Low over three thousand years before the Romans arrived in 70 AD and founded the settlement which they called Aqua Arnemeteia, meaning, The Waters of the Goddess of the Grove.
These sacred waters of the Goddess include the wonderful River Wye, the most delightful of Derbyshire rivers which rises at Axe Edge, and filters down through Featherbed Moss on it's way to collect the Burbage Brook, before running culverted beneath the streets of modern Buxton and cavorting in gurgling leaps and cascades down through Ashwood Dale. Buxton is built on a series of small hills and the grassy slopes in the middle of town lend themselves to relaxation, providing an excellent vantage point from which to view the town, with Serpentine Walks and shaded seating areas along the banks of the Wye through Ashwood Park, to the east of Spring Gardens. The Romans built baths here above the thermal waters of what later became St. Anne's Well, famously visited by medieval pilgrims seeking a cure for their ills, and popularised further in Tudor times by Mary Queen of Scots who took its healing waters as a cure for her rheumatism whilst being held captive at Chatsworth by the Earl of Shrewsbury during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st.
The town's growth and prosperity were assured from the eighteenth century by the addition of its remarkable wealth of architecture, courtesy of the Fifth Duke of Devonshire who engaged John Carr to build the magnificent Georgian Crescent, rivalling and imitating the famous Crescent at Bath in Somerset. Carr of York was also responsible for the Devonshire Hospital which was originally designed & constructed as a Riding School for the Duke of Devonshire at the end of the 18th century. It became a hospital in 1859, and it's huge dome, which is the largest unsupported slate dome in the world was added in 1881, the area beneath was used for the exercise of patients in rehabilitation.In recent years the building has become home to the University of Derby.
Buxton was confirmed as a centre of excellence and culture, becoming a retreat and country holiday resort for the gentry during the Victorian era with the advent of public travel and communication. Once again the Duke of Devonshire had a major hand in development and many large hotels were built to cater for the influx of visitors when the railways came to town, and the Pavilion Gardens were laid out and opened in 1871. The twenty three acres of the Pavilion Gardens includes ornamental lakes, putting greens, children's play areas with a paddling pool and miniature railway, whilst the whole is dotted with colourful arbours and flower beds, with shaded walks beneath mature trees, and the gardens are a sheer delight in the summer.

Peak Forest between 1991 and 1994 RT 86mins
This feature length compilation covers in edited form all of my visits to the very photogenic railway location of peak Forest Sidings and area in The Peak District of Derbyshire just outside the spa town of Buxton . Between July 1991 and October 1994 I made no less than 8 separate jaunts to the area and captured classes 31, 37, 47, 56, 59, 60 and the local shunter for Dove Holes Quarry. 37's were the predominant traction choice in the early 90's but the introduction of the class 60's rapidly became the better option as they had better traction and more power than a pair of 37's. National Power utilised the 59/2 class option for a while and soon the class 31's disappeared for good. I only saw one member of the class 56 during my visits so I guess they were not a frequent visitor to the area. Dove Holes Quarry produces Limestone and aggregates for the road building industry and others and is one of, if not the largest, such quarries in Europe. Great Rocks is just north of Tunstead Quarry which produces again limestone.These being the main flows of rail traffic through the area, with occasional light engine movements from Buxton Station Sidings and Banking locomotives to assist in the climb up to Peak Forest from Great Rocks. Dove Holes is run by a company called CEMEX and Tunstead was ICI and used until quite recently their own rail wagons of a rather vintage type. Haulage wise over the years from the early days of Steam mainly 8F's then, the Diesels have varied terrifically, class 20's 25's, 31's, 40's, 45's, 47's, even the 58's, briefly etc, to name a few, nowadays the mainstay is the class 66.probably the most interesting period would have been between the late 70's to the late 80's traction wise. The railway traffic is there to stay for a while as the quarries produce several million tonnes of aggregates per year so the future is still interesting as far as traction haulage is concerned for the area. I still occasionally visit the area mainly for specials but over the years it is still a favourite place for me and holds fond memories of years gone.
Excuses for the occasional wind interference and shake as this location is quite exposed and not too tripod friendly due to uneven ground and limited clearance...

This is a record of an organised railway walk along the Monsal Trail in Derbyshire, England and covers the route of the former Peak Line from Bakewell to Blackwell Mill. It includes privileged access to the tunnels along the route which are normally closed to the public. The video is split into three parts. This third part covers the section from Chee Tor No1 Tunnel through to Blackwell Mill and the jouney back to Bakewell.

Past Lives Project is an Arts Council England and Heritage Lottery Funded Project working in 8 areas across the Midlands. In each region we work with the community through open days, home visits, workshops and events with societies, schools and FE Colleges.
In each region we call out for amateur home cine film that illustrates daily life, local street scenes, people at work and families at play.
Past Lives Project digitises these home movies which are then edited into a new film which is screened along with a live music performance.
The performance day includes spoken memories and photos tha have been gathered whilst working with the community; this forms part of an ongoing archive that is available online.
Through our Past Lives Project, Freefall Arts aim to raise awareness about how valuable these films are in the context of social history and to preserve them for future generations.

ABANDONED • BUXTONS LIME FIRM WORKS QUARRY • 2018
Hi guys
This is a lime firm buxton.
Heres abit of history on the place
ENJOY ????
The limeworks was set up by the New Buxton Lime Co. in 1901 to serve its quarry on the south side of the valley and involved a substantial bridge over the river and road, which is believed to have been built of timber. The company was taken over by the Buxton Lime Firms in 1908 and shortly after the massive kilns and associated buildings were constructed. In July 1924 it was reported that extensive enlargements were in hand which would require additional siding accommodation. It was further reported that the bridge was in a very poor state of repair and required renewal. Under the circumstances it was resolved to move the siding connection to the east of Ashwood Dale bridge, and lay in a new access track, which would allow the original bridge, whose abutment can be seen just east of the Devonshire public house, to be demolished. The bridge was in fact so bad that LMS engines were not permitted to cross it and wagons had to be loose shunted across. Outgoing wagons were run to the western end of the bridge, probably by horses and were picked up by an engine with a rake of wagons. The works remained in operation until 1956, relying almost totally on rail transport.
