HOPE CEMENT WORKS.
Built between 1920 & 1930
Close to Hope lies the main source of mass employment in the Hope Valley - the cement works. This is one of the Peak District’s major human made landmarks and can be seen for miles around, I have often sat at the top of Stanage Edge and Bamford edge, belaying, with the view of the cement works puffing smoke. Many people hate it, regarding it as unsightly and incongruous, but it brings employment to the area and was built way before the Peak District National Park was conceived.
