Harpur Hill

Harpur Hill is a small village on the outskirts of Buxton, Derbyshire, England.

It has a primary school, a park, a pub, a working men's club and a Methodist church.

When the tunnels closed they were sold to a group of local businessmen and used as a cold store for cheese; a warehouse was built for dry and bonded wines and spirits.

One of the hauliers was Lomas Distribution which was bought out by Christian Salvesen and was a major employer in the area; it later sold the site to French transport company Norbert Dentressangle.
