Stanedge Pole

Standing at a height of 438 metres (1,437 feet), it marks the border between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire and can be seen for several miles around.

[4] Although it is widely believed the Long Causeway follows the line of a Roman road that ran from Templeborough Roman fort to the fort at Navio (Brough-on-Noe), archaeologists have cast doubt on this.

A spokesperson for the Peak District National Park explained that "the wood on the top half of the pole was rotten and therefore a health and safety risk to the public.

We had no choice but to make the pole safe by cutting off the top part.” [6] On 17 April 2016 a group of people with an interest in the pole and surrounding environment, including the Peak District National Park Authority and the British Mountaineering Council, erected a new pole at the site to mark the 65th anniversary of the creation of the Peak District National Park.

The new pole is formed from a locally felled larch tree, with a frame made by Hope Cement Works, and a base cast in Sheffield.
