    Derbyshire had its Nelson’s Column only five years after Trafalgar, while Londoners had to wait a further 30 for theirs. The column stands 12 feet high (3.6 meters) on Birchin Edge, approximately 1,000 feet (305 meters) above sea level. It was erected in 1810 by John Brightman, who lived in Baslow.
