View Full Version : Smoke stack on Blacka Moor? tamarindl 03-12-2006, 12:53 AM hi wondering if anyone knows what the smoking smoke stack that you can see on Blacka Moor? My husband was out of his bike and was curious. Cheers, Tamarind. Strix 03-12-2006, 02:35 AM It's not the cement works at Hope then? tamarindl 06-12-2006, 11:12 PM no its not the cement works. It is a ten foot high brick stack about 12 foot in diameter ontop of a large grass mound. :confused: innout 06-12-2006, 11:14 PM cud be a vent for a tunnel Grissom 06-12-2006, 11:23 PM Are there any numbers written on it ? :P tamarindl 07-12-2006, 04:16 PM no there are no markings on it whatsoever dixieslaces 08-12-2006, 06:03 PM Its a breather for Totley Tunnel. The railway goes underground just in front of the Crown pub and comes out at Grindleford station.
