In the days when roads were in even worse condition than we find them today many travellers tried to keep to the higher groundwhere this allowed a more direct route and there were a lot of tracks and paths across the Derbyshire and Yorkshire moors. In 1697 and Act was passed which decreed that in the more remote parts where two or more paths intersected, the local Surveyors were to erect guideposts or guide stoops showing the way to the nearest market town. There was no defined standard and the survivors show a great variety in lettering and size. Some incorporate a pointing hand alongside the place name.
This example is on Beeley Moor and points the way to Bakewell and Sheffield.
An 18thC Guide Stoop near Edensor. This side shows a hand pointing east and is marked 'Bakewell Rode' and the date 1709.
Two other faces are marked 'Sheffield Rode' and 'Chesterfield Rode'.
This attractive bird has made a rest stop on a rock near our fountain. Water is a better "bird magnet " up here than food... it's much more scarce. The bird is checking out the activity in the area before stooping down to drink or bathe (where it is more vulnerable). This male is our most colorful western mountain songbird. The clear yellow belly denotes an adult bird... the juvies have mottled bellies.

I am awfully in love with this old Konica film and just bought the rest I could find at a decent price. It's too bad so many great emulsions have gone the way of the Dodo. I have to say I definitely prefer the look of this stuff to Pro400H or Portra400 personally... It sort of has the best qualities of both of those to me. Guess I"ll have to mae it last.

There is no holier

Than where defeated valor lies
By mourning beauty crowned."

In 1697 during the reign of William III an Act was passed which decreed that in the more remote parts, where two or more paths intersected, the local Surveyors were to erect guideposts or guide stoops showing the way to the nearest market town. After all these years the inscription on the stoop has been weathered away.
