banjodeano   31 #1 Posted January 20, 2020 I was on the road out of Castleton at the weekend, the one that takes you in the direction of Winnats pass, its is marked as a parking area on the road, with suitably placed meters every few yards, there must be about 25 of them and every one has been smashed, I guess someone doesn't agree with paying at the meters, anyone else seen this?

Runningman   148 #2 Posted January 20, 2020 Hi banjodeano  The meters have been like that now for a few months It's a quiet road especially at night Plenty of opportunity for the low life to operate ! No doubt being considered whether or not to replace them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DavidFrance   19 #3 Posted January 20, 2020 It's been like that for at least a year. But since meters are working nearer the village I wouldn't risk parking without a ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

banjodeano   31 #5 Posted January 21, 2020 i wonder if they were robbed, or just smashed so people didnt have to pay for a ticket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kris99   11 #7 Posted January 30, 2020 Had to smile, Paul Newman did visit Castleton,  picture outside the Peak Cavern showing his visit there. Did a fan feel compelled to re enact the scene? Paul Newman apparently visited Matlock quite frequently. Don't know how true this is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
