The aim of the INSET session in May was to talk through expectations and organisational details for the project, and to ask the teachers to prepare the children for our arrival.
For example, in Grindleford, the shoemaker might have provided shoes for the other members of the group, and the carrier journeyman might have taken those shoes across Longshaw to Sheffield, to the characters at Hunter’s Bar.
In Hunter’s Bar many of the characters were linked to the steel trades and so required grit stones from Longshaw to sharpen their blades or charcoal for their furnaces that might have been made on Longshaw and carried across it to Sheffield.

 Walk #588: Grindleford to Brough via the eastern edges
This was a lovely walk over the eastern edges of the Peak District; unfortunately most of the views were obscured by the cloud layer that I was walking in for most of the time.
I was well aware that today was going to be one of the last opportunities to do a walk before I move down to Cambridge to start my new job, and so I was keen to do an epic.
I was prevented to do one yesterday by family commitments, so after a quick cup of coffee this morning I loaded up my car and set off on the long drive up to Grindleford, where I had decided to start the walk.

The drive through the Peak District to Baslow was nice, and I was pleased to see that the mornings were getting lighter earlier; the only annoyance being the two pound fifty pence charge for all-day parking in the car park - an absolute rip-off.
The path ends at the B6521 road; cross the road and once on the other side turn left for a few yards and then turn sharply to the right down a surfaced footpath that leads down to Grindleford Station; the station cafe is a few yards downhill on the right, in the old station building.

The short-term aim of the project has been to inspire the children to explore and think differently about history, whilst the project’s long-term aim is to facilitate the writer to create a new play by drawing inspiration from the children and their different responses to history.
Historical and educational findings recorded during the project have been stored so that they can be used to create an educational resource for teachers that will accompany the play when it tours into schools in 2004.
