karl101 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If you go round the back of Grindleford Train station, past the ruins of Padley Hall, then follow the footpath up the hill you come to the base of Padley Incline. Walk up the very steep hill and at the top you will find the remains of the Padley Brake Drum. It is here that wagons full of stone from the Bolehill Quarry were sent down for the building of the Dams.

lunartravel Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Certainly a fascinating subject,and a very nice spot to visit. Took a trip out yesterday and went into the derwent dam museum,that is packed with pictures done by this guy. Just found this out and they are all for sale,after chatting to vic hallam who runs it.

commuter Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 is there only me who thinks these photos are rubbish? badly superimposed, fictitious, fanciful I could keep on but you get the picture (no pun intended) The mechanics of those showing lancasters dropping bombs and taking out the dam are simply figments of someone's imagination and they have the cheek to charge £29.99 for something which any of us could do with a couple of hours and photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanjeaney Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Nice ride and used by a group of us as a training ground in readiness for excursions up into Scotland for a bit more strenuous exertion.. Scotland eh? Have you got room for one more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
