The building was designed and built to reflect the important industrial heritage of the area, its huge chimney testimony to the former Lords Cupola, which operated on the same site in the 1700s, the inspiration for its flame-cooked food.

TOURIST INFORMATION A small, permanent ‘Life in a Gorge Exhibition’ tells the remarkable story, beginning with the geological events that formed the dramatic limestone gorge which dominates the site, and in turn, led to thousands of years of industrialisation, extracting the rich minerals that the stone contains. The story continues with the village of Stoney Middleton which grew up to house the workforce to quarry and mine the stone. It was a working village, dominated by factories, many specialising in the production of men’s heavy duty safety boots, for which it is renowned, and home to the invention of the steel toe capped boot. One factory remains in operation to this day, using some of the oldest machinery in the world. Its people, no less fascinating… strange customs, tragedies, intriguing folklore, an infamous highwayman, and mysterious murders. Today the village is a fascinating place to wander and explore, dominated by its quirky buildings, listed for their national importance, set within beautiful quaint backwaters. Within the Visitor Centre there are various video presentations covering aspects of heritage. One shows how geological events created the limestone and the towering crags dominating the location. A second, documents the Heritage and Trails of Stoney Middleton and Eyam, with footage from the complete trail. Another shows the process of traditional bootmaking within a Stoney Middleton Factory, whilst a captivating full wall projection shows ‘now and then’ images of local street views, one morphing into another. Entrance to the exhibition is free, or by donation, and includes a free Heritage and Trail Map of Stoney Middleton and Eyam. Exhibition opening hours are 10am - 4pm. Other tourist information and leaflets are also available, providing details for other local facilities in the area.
