SNAKE PATH KISSING GATES 2008
In 2008 The National Lottery Awards for All agreed to fund the restoration of the five wrought iron kissing gates marking the field boundaries at the start of the Snake Path in Hayfield. The Snake Path was the first success in 1897 for the newly formed Peak and Northern Footpath Society whose mission it was to secure public access to the moors. Time, livestock and large backpacks had not been kind to the gates and all were suffering damage of corrosion and dislocation of components. The gates were completely restored and repainted by Dorothea Restorations in Whaley Bridge, conserving as much original material as possible and using traditional forge techniques and in 2009 they were re-installed with the help of Peak Park Rangers. |
