Fatal Accident

[RichardB]

Jan. 23. A stage-coach was overturned while going down Mockdale-hill, between Buxton and Sheffield, owing to the road being covered with ice, by which accident Mr. Marsden, tailor, of Sheffield, a passenger, was killed on the spot. Six inside passengers, however, and the coachman, escaped unhurt.

Mockdale, somewhere between Tideswell and Buxton (c. 1811),

but all I can find at the moment is Monksdale and Monksdale Ln

I have seen the headstones in City Road for the victims of the Moscar Top accident and was going to put together something for on here, but Chris Hobbs has already done the deed, and brilliantly too.
