Cycleracer Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I was out on my bike today and headed towards the Peak District. On my travels I saw a couple of small plaques staked in the ground. One at High Bradfield ( Ughill RD ) and another at Stanage Moor. Both saying 550 and 565 yards for sale. Is our countryside being sold off or what. Whats the reason behind this.

No, that's Lee Moor Lane between Hilltop and Storrs near Dungworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharston Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Originally posted by Cycleracer Both saying 550 and 565 yards for sale. Is our countryside being sold off or what. But that's a distance not an area. How can you sell a length? Maybe they are distances to a property for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are distances to a property for sale? What in the middle of Stanage Moor, theres nothing but sheep for miles. The one at Stanage is just past the cattle grid going away from Sheffield at the bottom of the rough trail, if that helps. The one at Bradfield is turn left at the Plough pub, go up the hill to the top and turn right past the monument and keep going and its on the left.

cgksheff Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Thanks. I'll go and have a look as this has intrigued me. The number could just refer to a lot number in an auction and it could be the land being sold or some rights over it e.g. grazing, shooting. Other possibilities, without looking at location etc., could be: Fishing rights (length of riverbank/waterside) Grazing (but doesn't sound right as 500 sqare yards is nothing) Timber (cubic yards) standing or felled.

cgksheff Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I've just found this on: http://srch.hlc-s.co.uk/pages.asp?group=elsh&ref=BR100847&page=template1 **************** For Sale in the region of £25,000 - Sale Agreed An attractively located grazing field, approximately 1.6 acres or thereabouts. • Road access to Windy Bank • Provisional approval granted for a caravan/camping ground *************** DIRECTIONS. Approaching Low Bradfield from the direction of Sheffield on Loxley Road, continue to the T-junction with The Plough public house on the left hand side. Turn right towards Low Bradfield and continue up the hill instead of turning right into the village. Turn right into Windy Bank and the land will be found on the left hand side. **************** Sound about right? I'd guess that the 565 Yards is the distance of the road and sign to the field. I get good at this sometimes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Wow, If thats right Its unbelievable. These spots are a place of beauty and cannot see they would put caravans in these locations. Next time I pass which will be Monday I will look into it.
