Whatever your opinion of the art, its size alone is certainly impressive.

Rosedale Miners Memorial Bench

Geotag Icon Show on map

Other than the nice view, I’m not totally convinced the benefit of this bench by the old railway track a good distance away from any of the actual ironstone mining sites. Personally I think the money would have been better spent on consolidation work at any of the three sets of calcining kilns that are crumbling away.

Hopefully the poem and reliefs of miners popping out of the top of Rosedale Chimney are by school children too.

Castleton Millenium Sundial

Geotag Icon Show on map

The sundial commemorates several event, the Castleton Cheese Fair which dates from the late 19th and early 20 century (something well worth a revival in my opinion). Also the visit of Methodism founder John Welsey on 16th June 1772.

Presumably this was also the location of the village stocks.
