	History
		The churchyard catered for Dore and the local village of Totley, which did not gain it’s own church until somewhat later.Hence we find the two communities separated on either side of the churchyard in death, as they were in life.
		Near the main road wall some small stones are tucked away, sadly recalling the itinerant ‘navvies’ and their families who died of smallpox during the digging of the nearby Totley Tunnel in 1893.
		A new ‘Dore Road’ was built by the Duke of Devonshire connecting his village to the station, and along it Victorian Villas spread, bringing new prosperity to the area.

		The greatest achievement of this railway was the construction of the Totley tunnel - 3 miles and 950 yards long.
		The line and depth of the tunnel was established by suspending weighted wires, of known length, down shafts and by the use of a theodolite at the headings.
		The crescent of shops on Totley Rise was then a row of houses - known as Bricky Row because of the unusual building material for the area - and built to house the workers.

		Behind this wall the water rose and dashed ominously; but the gangs in the meantime made a drain in the tunnel bed, and ultimately through this drain and along the culvert by the railway side the flood-water was carried into the river Sheaf.
		The water in the Totley length has been successfully coped with by the diversion of the underground stream that now flows beneath the line; but the irruption in the Padley heading was recently gauged at 5,000 gallons per minute.

	Woodhead Route - UK Railways (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Woodhead Tunnels are three trans-Pennine railway tunnels which formerly carried a major rail link (usually known as the Woodhead Route) from Manchester to Sheffield.
		The earlier twin tunnels (Woodhead 1 and 2) were completed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway in the mid-19th century, with significant loss of life.
		Following the new tunnels, in the 1960s one of the earlier tunnels had a new lease of life, having been acquired and renovated by the CEGB to carry the trans-Pennine 400 kV electricity link below ground, rather than over the moors of the Peak District National Park.
