Smoke stack on Blacka Moor?

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

Its a breather for Totley Tunnel. The railway goes underground just in front of the Crown pub and comes out at Grindleford station. I think there are at least two of these.

Does th noise of the trains e ho up the stack when they rumble through down below? I'd find that rather thrilling.

They say you can hear the plaintive cries of the dead tunnel workers if you're up there at night.:(
