dbp:staticImageCaption
  • Looking eastwards to the A623 and the Wanted Inn. This direct but steep road to Chapel-en-le-Frith through the village is the original turnpike route, but was superseded in the late 18th century by a new road via Barmoor Clough. The modern main road follows the newer route, hence the sharp bend at Sparrowpit. (en)
