254? Mr. Farey’s Account of 
thence denominated the great Bakewell fault : I have selected 
this tract, among other small local raised ones, on account 
of its approaching in shape and position to the others which 
surround it, and because it explains several curious appear- 
ances of the strata in these parts, which have been, and are 
still likely to be greatly misrepresented. 
The fault to which I allude, may be said to commence in 
the limestone-shale on the E. side of Beeley, to pass on the S. 
side of the village, across the Derwent and on the S. of Haddon- 
Hall, continuing across the pastures to the Lathkil river about 
a quarter of a mile above Alport, then turns S. past the W. 
end of Alport to the upper mill, thence WSW. for about one 
mile, where this fault again turns to the N. and crosses the 
Bradford river, and proceeding across the Meadow-place 
Liberty, crosses Robinstye Mine and the Lathkil river above 
Over-Haddon mill ; bears then a little to the east of the 
north, and crosses the new Bakewell and Buxton road at the 
rise of the hill, passes the N. end of Bird's-head Mine, crosses 
the Wye river about a quarter of a mile above Bakewell Cot- 
ton Mill, proceeds near to Rowdale, turns E. towards Nether 
Burchill, then NE. following nearly the course of the brook, 
it continues the same direction until about half a mile E. of 
Hassop, where it turns to the E. crosses the Derwent again 
half a mile above Baslow, and terminates in the limestone-shale 
in Barbrook Dale, as it began. The western side of this 
fourth inner tract being most raised (similar to the third 
tract) occasions the great elevation of the shale, and its free- 
stone in the hills E. of Bakewell and NE. of Haddon-Hall ; 
the sudden appearance of the limestone, on which Haddon- 
Hall stands, and in the quarry SSW. of it, on the W. of the
