The original hall was said to have been built between 1628 and 1629 for Francis Moore, a proprietor of several local lead mines. The stone used in the construction is said to have come from the Stancliffe quarries in Darley Dale, being transported on pack horses. The hall was rebuilt by the Moore family around 1720. It was lived in by William Marsland until 1903 and then his widow until 1926 when it was sold for £750 (equivalent to £55,000 in 2023) to Mr. Butler of Wingfield. In the 1970s the hall became Winster Hall Hotel run by Derek and Pauline Wood, but this closed in 1999. It reverted to a private dwelling and is let out as a self-catering holiday home.

The path is horrible in places; sludgy, slippery and so churned up that it very tricky to continue. In some parts, a stream pouring down the hillside actually joins the path to make it even more boggy. 💦 Maybe it's better in summer.

It's a lovely brick built listed building and on the first floor is an unmanned information room with interpretation panels detailing the history of the village and a scale model of Winster. Standing almost in the centre of the main street, Winster Market House is a dominating feature of the village, and stands as testimony to its once thriving past. Winster village itself is interesting to explore on foot, as part of a visit to the Peak District.

The white pillar high above High Peak Trail dominates the highest point of Harboro Rocks.

The mine is named after the rich diamond city of 17th century India, and this name was probably applied when the rich ores were discovered. Up to the first World War the mine was worked from two shafts, Upper and Lower Golconda, the latter lying adjacent to Griffe House (later New Harboro' Farm), the former lying some 350m to the south-east. Haulage was by kibble and access by ladders. In 1915 the Hopton Mining Company fittted a cage and winding gear in the Upper Golconda shaft. Inclines were later built. The Lower Golconda shaft is no longer safe and has been stripped of its ladders and covered.
