    to mark the 200th anniversary of the passing of the act that enabled the Cromford and High Peak to be built , the Butterley Ironworks beam engine at the Middleton Top engine house was operated on steam for the first time since 1967 (when the C&HP was closed)

    With its boilers out of use since the 1950's steam was provided by two Fowler traction engines
