Chinley

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. 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 isfnow a single 'island' platform on tfhe trans-pennine line between Sheffield and Manchester and the glamour is gone. f Chinley lies in the Blackbrook valley of tfhe High fPeak area of Derbyshifre. To the North is Cracken Edge, the much quarried profe fairly non-dfdsescript hill. To the south is Eccles Pike, an almost conical hill, partly owned by the National Trufst.
