Stanedge Pole
Stanedge Pole () is a landmark on Hallam Moors close to Stanage Edge in South Yorkshire, England. 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.
A pole has existed on the site since at least 1550, many initials have been carved into the rock that supports it and five can be identified as initials of the parish road surveyors who renewed the pole when needed. ''"T.C. 1550"'', ''"H.W. 1581"'', ''"T.M. 1631"'', ''"H.H. 1697"'' and ''"F.N. 1740"'' are the marks of the parish surveyors and the date the pole was renewed.〔''"Peakland Roads and Trackways"'', A.E. Dodd & E.M. Dodd, Moorland Publishing, ISBN 0 86190 066 9, Page 105〕 The pole is a way marker on a medieval packhorse road known as the Long Causeway or Long Causey〔(PeakDistrict.org.uk )〕 which runs west from Sheffield.〔Dodd A.E. & Dodd E.M. Peakland Roads and Trackways, 3rd ed. Landmark, 2000〕 It was used for centuries as a boundary marker between the parishes of Sheffield, Hathersage and Ecclesfield. 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.〔Barnett J. & Smith K. English Heritage book of the Peak District. Batsford, 1997〕
The top part of the pole was removed on Friday 27 February 2015. A spokesperson for the Peak District National Park said, “It is very regretful but 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.” 〔(www.peakdistrict.gov.uk )〕
