The area between Blacka and the Stony Ridge road is called Totley Moor on the map. This has always seemed a bit odd in that it's some way from Totley and there are other names for the stretches of land between. I have no knowledge who owns this area, now covered by a sea of cotton grass. Should sheep be put on here it could support a balanced textile economy.
Early in the morning the road is usually busy with commuters and heavy vehicles bearing quarry material away from the Peak. Traffic today was surprisingly light in the morning as if everyone's already spent their money and energy buying fuel and getting jobs done for fear of a lengthy extension to the tanker drivers strike. Now it's settled they can sit back and relax although they may have spent all they have on diesel.
