Blackwell Mill
Panoramic view of the old triangle at Blackwell Mill, taken from the lay-by on the A6 road that runs high above this point. Top left is the Great Rocks quarry complex and the surviving line from there to Buxton curves north to west. The old main line runs behind the railway cottages down to Millers Dale while the west to east chord is at the foot of the picture, now part of the Monsal cycling trail. It is on this chord that Blackwell Mill Halt, claimed for many years to be the smallest station in Britain, is situated but just out of view. The Disused Stations website advises that the two short platforms are still in situ and has pictures of the halt when open.
