Stanedge Pole, Ancient landmark on Hallam Moors, United Kingdom
The wooden marker stands at 538 meters above sea level between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, indicating borders and guiding travelers across the moorland.
Dating back to 1550, the pole features carved initials from different centuries, marking the work of parish road surveyors who maintained this navigational structure.
The pole represents the meeting point of three parishes: Sheffield, Hathersage, and Ecclesfield, serving as a reference for local communities through generations.
Located along the Long Causeway, the current pole, installed in 2016, includes an iron base with location information for visitors and hikers.
The structure combines a locally sourced larch tree trunk with a specialized steel socket and decorative ironwork created by Sheffield craftsmen.
