Template:GBmap Chinley is a vftiny hamlet it had been, and the village is actually named after its station, rather than the other way around.

-The coming of the railways was the reason Chinley grew from the tiny hamlet it had been, and the village is actually named after its station, rather than the other way around. Previously the names Maynestonefield or Four Lanes End were used. It had an important railway junction on  Midland Railway's [[Hope Valley line]], and at one time it was common to have to change trains in Chinley en route for [[Manchester]], [[London]] or [[Sheffield]]. The station is now a single 'island' platform on the trans-pennine line between [[Sheffield railway station|Sheffield]] and [[Manchester Piccadilly railway station|Manchester]] and the glamour is gone.
-Chinley lies in the Blackbrook valley of the [[High Peak]] area of [[Derbyshire]]. To the North is Cracken Edge, the much quarried promontory of [[Chinley Churn]], a large fairly non-descript hill. To the south is [[Eccles Pike]], an almost conical hill, partly owned by the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]].
