Hope, Derbyshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hope is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, in England. It lies in the Hope Valley, at the point where Peakshole Water flows into the River Noe. To the north, Win Hill and Lose Hill stand either side of the Noe.
Traces of a Roman fort can be found in the hamlet of Brough-on-Noe, just east of the village. Its Roman name was Navio, and was later renamed with the Old English word for fort, brough. There are many remains from the site in Buxton Museum.
The village is also known for its well dressing.
Hope has a railway station on the Sheffield to Manchester (Hope Valley) line. It also has a small college, and is the site of a large quarry and cement works, largely hidden from the village.
