| Administrative History | The protest camp at Stanton Moor was established in 1999 following the decision of the Stancliffe Stone company to recommence quarrying activities at Endcliffe and Lees Cross quarries, near to the Nine Ladies Stone Circle on Stanton Moor. In 2005, a deal between the Peak Distict National Park Authority and Stancliffe Stone agreed for the latter to abandon the plans for Endcliffe and Stanton Lees in favour of expansion at the nearby Dale View Quarry. By 2007, the protest camp was the longest surviving camp in the UK, with the protesters unwilling to depart until certain of the agreement brokered in 2005. The legal documentation was ultimately completed in September 2008. These drawings were made during 2004, as the protesters' campaign intensified and the High Court gave permission for Stancliffe Stone to evict the protesters, who had by now built a complex system of tunnels and defences as well as tree houses. |
