'HFF' - trail footpath - Redmires dams.

A seemingly pointless stone pillar - along a track close to the ''Redmires dams'' is one of three 'sighting towers' and used during construction of a 4.5 mile [ 7.24 KM ] tunnel deep below,. The tunnel was built 1903 - 1910 to distribute water by gravity from the 'Ladybower dam' to supplement the 'Rivelin dam',. over the full length the water falls by a mere 6 ft.6" / 198 cm..

Cheers Pete'... I find things like this of interest but I don't know how towers can guide diggers in a tunnel way down below,..because there was no vertical shaft under the towers,.. maybe someone will enlighten,... // A HFF to you - and good wishes too - from Dj.
