The view from Stannington View Rd looking out over Stannington, Liberty Hill with the Loxley Valley in the distance. It was down this valley that the flood-water surged when the Dale Dyke dam burst on 11 March 1864 causing Britain's worst ever peace-time disaster in terms of fatalities. The dam just visible in the valley is Damflask.
