The Stones, Castleton

The Stones

The Stones is a short street in Castleton, Derbyshire.[1] The street connects Market Place at the Castleton War Memorial, crossing the Peakhole Water before meeting Goosehill.[2][3]

The street features a popular photography spot on the Goosehill bridge, looking towards the 17th-century residences.[4] Peveril Castle overlooks the street.[5]

History

The road is referred to in 1761 church records from St Edmund's Church, where its original name, Slippery Stones, is used for a baptism record for George, son of John Hall, Slippery Stones.[6] The Hall family historically lived at the nearby Castleton Hall.[7]
