Grouse drinking basin 22, Stanage Edge, Yorkshire
Originally uploaded fro the Guesswhere UK group.
This is one of many numbered grouse drinking basins dating from the early 20th century carved into gritstone slabs on the northern part of Stanage Edge in the Peak District. Most are beautifully carved with strategically designed feeder grooves to channel rainwater into the basin.
More information here:
www.sheffield.ramblers.care4free.net/SCW historical notes.htm
"They are a product of local grouse-moor management, and were carved all over nearby Hallam Moors from 1907 onwards at the request of the owner, William Wilson, with the purpose of providing drinking troughs for the grouse. There are 108 in total, and the first ones carved are near Stanage Pole."
The Yorkshire/Derbyshire county boundary runs along the extremity of Stanage Edge in its northern part. This stone basin is in Yorkshire - just. A few metres to the west (right) is the gritstone edge and Derbyshire.
Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded.
