Stanage Pole can be found high on Hallam Moors between Stanage Edge and Redmires Reservoirs.
A wooden pole has stood here for hundreds of years marking the border of Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, Hathersage and Sheffield and probably the ancient kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria before that...
The last pole was erected in 1915 by Sheffield Corporation. However in 2015 it was in danger of falling and so was taken down for safety reasons. With the help of the British Mountaineering Council and local supporters the pole was replaced on 17th April 2016 - the 65th anniversary of the National Park.
