Guidepost 1
This guidepost is one of several in the the Big Moor - Longshaw area. They were erected to guide travellers and packhorse teams across the eastern part of the Peak District in the early years of the 18th century. This one stood at what was once an important cross roads but is now not even used as a recreational footpath.
The guidepost is made of coarse gritstone - probably Crawshaw Sandstone, from nearby White Edge. Each of the four sides bears a carved inscription indicating the route which the side faces. This one says:
DRONFEILD ROAD (facing east)
SHEFFEILD ROAD (facing north)
BAKEWELL ROAD (facing south)
and facing west:
TIDESWELL ROAD
1709
I guess that the bench mark on the Dronfield face was added much later, perhaps late 19th century or early 20th century?
