Bungalows at Padley Chapel, Grindleford; formerly quarry workers' huts.

Bungalows at Padley Chapel, Grindleford; formerly quarry workers' huts.
This pair of huts are now private dwellings, and are located next to Padley Chapel, but they were originally situated on a flat platform next to the Bolehill Quarries (Padley) Incline. A link to an old photo taken during the working of the incline is here:

In this photo, one of the huts can just be seen in the extreme top right.

At some time after the quarries and the incline ceased operation in 1914, two of the huts were relocated to Padley Chapel a short distance away to the south.
