Millstones - Stanage Edge
Flickr Lounge ~ Interesting
Millstone production took place along the Eastern Edges of Stanage Edge from medieval times, through to the first half of the 20th century. These particular millstones are thought to date from the early nineteen hundreds and were probably pulping stones. They were abandoned where they were made due to a collapse in demand. They have now become one of the iconic Peak District views and a reminder of the area's industrial past.
