Description
The Hope Level entrance arch in Stanhope Dene is a 19th-century lead-mine entrance arch made of sandstone ashlar. It features chamfered quoins and a wide retaining wall that supports a round, keyed arch. Above the arch, there is a recessed stone inscribed with "F/GB," and the top band runs continuously with the quoins. Historically, in 1875, Major Beaumont demonstrated his newly-invented Diamond Rock Drill at this location, which was used to cut the level.
