HolymoorsideHolymoorside was once a thriving industrial centre, with three cotton thread mills dominating the village. Nothing remains now except the dam and the mill pond, which is now a popular recreation spot. Surrounded by the attractive moorland of Beeley Moor and Eastmoor, and lying in the picturesque valley of the River Hipper, this scattered village has now become a much-sought-after place to live in the 21st century.Hipper Hall, an early 17th-century farmhouse with an even older tithe barn, is probably the oldest building in the village. It contains later additions and has some interesting internal features including an oak partition.The Stone Edge Cupola, in a remote spot beside the B5057, is Britain’s oldest free-standing chimney. Dating from 1770, it is a testimony to the lead mining industry that survived here until the 19th century. |
