This grey commemorative plaque records: The creation in 1951 of England's first National Park in the Peak District owes much to the inspiration of far-sighted pioneers who campaigned tirelessly for the protection of special landscapes. The Longshaw Estate was saved by the Council for the Protection of Rural England and given into the care of the National Trust in 1931 to secure its preservation. It now has the protection of the Peak District National Park Authority. This commemorative millstone was placed here to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Britain's first national park on 17th April 1951 Recorded plaque organisation: CPRE Sheffield and Peak District.
