Stocksbridge and Deepcar as seen from Wharncliffe Crags. The Crags have a long history of rock climbing and were at the forefront of the birth of the sport in the 1880s. Climbing legend James W. Puttrell pioneered many routes. By 1900, the crags were the most popular climbing venue in the UK. This was helped by the presence of the (now disused) nearby Deepcar railway station.
