One of the Sites of Meaning sculptures created by Amanda Wray in 2002. She took inspiration from William Blake's Auguries of Innocence drawing. The sculpture is about 1m cubed.

These modern carved stones stand on the boundary between the Middleton & Smerrill parishes. The inscription which reads "We meet to create memories and depart to cherish them." is borrowed from a Nepalese saying.

The Royston Grange pump house was built in the 19th century to house a steam powered pump. This produced compressed air which was used to drive the rock drills in the nearby quarries. It's now used as a barn but there is an information poster.

The Cromford and High Peak railway was opened in 1831 and closed in 1967. It was built to carry the minerals and stone extracted from the various quarries of the high peak. The trains ran from Whaley Bridge down to Cromford where they could be unloaded onto the Cromford Canal which later linked with the main railway. The High Peak Trail, Midshires Way and Pennine Bridleway all use the old railway route at this point crossing the old bridge.

This early 19th century lime kiln was likely linked to the nearby Minninglow Quarry. The dystone, roughly circular, structure is constructed from limestone blocks. The kiln, approximately 5m high and 7m in diameter, is built backing onto an excavated hollow, which is open to the north. The opening to the kiln is still apparent on the north facing side.
