Cavendish Golf Club Buxton - Hole 16
A straightforward par 4 along a left-to-right sloping fairway, this presents a downhill second shot to a green cut into the slope, making a line very hard to establish. The mound guarding the front makes the approach even tougher - Eddie Birchenough

sorry guy and girls had to take the other one down but this you see a lot more. hey is a bit of info as promised
By 1916, steel companies were beginning to complain about the shortage of supplies of limestone being supplied to them by Buxton Lime Firms. The firm said that this shortage was due to the lack of workmen left at the company – by February 1916, over 600 of their men had joined the Army.
Accordingly, like many firms in Britain during this period, Buxton Lime Firms employed women. There does not seem to be very much information about this undertaking, except for a few notes scribbled on the back of the wonderful collection of photographs that we have of women working there. From these, we know that women worked in the following areas:
tree felling and wood cutting for quarry and colliery timber
dry walling
joinery
agricultural work
the rabbit section (associated with the British Rabbit Society)
the goat section (affiliated with the British Goat Society and National Goat Society)
painting trucks
For me the excellent find in this file is, as I’ve said, the collection of photographs of women at work. Although these were most likely staged, they give a real insight into a small section of women’s work during the First World War. Buxton Lime Firms was an amalgamation of seventeen quarries, BLF owned 1522 acres of land, 89 lime kilns (including 2 Hoffmans), 21 large stone crushers and 3 collieries. They produced 360,000 tons limestone and 280,000 tons lime per year and dominated the industry in Derbyshire. Between 1895 and 1915 a further nine quarries were either started or bought and a limekiln building program started.
By 1918 Brunner Mond's dependence on the limestone from BLF was so great that they bought a controlling interest in the firm. This was converted to total ownership in 1926 and all their businesses were merged to form I.C.I.
Development of the quarry at Tunstead started in 1929 with the excavation of three cuttings in the valley side for access to the planned works. These were completed in 1932 and in 1935 the first three Patent Lime Kilns were commissioned and fed by stone from the now developing quarry. As production at Tunstead increased the smaller, less efficient quarries were closed down or switched to stone production only.
