Sites of Meaning...

Have you ever noticed a strange inscription as you wandered round the White Peak? We've spotted several - including the two in the photographs (Bradford Bridge and Rowlow Brook) - on field trips and D of E walks.... But I never knew why they were there...
















Well, these are two of the seventeen Sites of Meaning... Seventeen sculptures were placed around the village of Middleton-by-Youlgreave as part of a Millennium project... Local sculpters were commissioned to create the markerstones for the seventeen sites, and the verses were written by school children from Middleton and Youlgreave.

Do you have photos of any of the other sites? Do you know of any other similar markers around the area, or similar projects elsewhere in the country?
