Interesting Winster house
The small windows, high chimneys, steeply pitched roof and solid stone fabric are typical of the area's defences against the elements.
The gable at the back is an interesting feature here.
I am informed that this house was the old manse.

"Yuk!"
Uncompromising language used here by Derbyshire County Council - compare with a more subtle approach employed down south!

Tiny stone barn in Winster
Many of these little stone sheds can be seen in the village. They would once have been used by the 'copers' or part-time lead miners who combined working underground, perhaps in little independent teams or else for mine-owners, with small-scale farming on a patch of land. Hay, equipment or a few beasts would have been kept close to their houses and, after the week's labouring down the mineshaft, the weekends would be a chance to catch up with agricultural work. Women as well as men were actively involved in this lifestyle.

The way down to East Bank
Stone-lined lanes are the norm here: one of the routes leading down East Bank from Winster Common.

Vegetable plot in winter, in Winster
Leeks and sprouts, an apple tree and a few raspberry canes: homegrown nourishment that has probably been produced here, in small gardens such as this, for many centuries, sustaining the lead miners and their families over the course of their hard lives.
Note the very dark, almost black, soil and mossy stone-paved paths.

The house on the left, Rockside, dated 1903, commands a fine view north across the village and also in this easterly direction towards Wensley and Darley Dale.

Late 17th century Grade II Listed house refashioned in the 18th Century. Despite the name on the gate, this house is south west of The Headlands and in the Google 2011 streetview was undergoing restoration.
