Favourite attractions in the town include the Maynard Arms Hotel and Bar, and the Grindleford Station Cafe, which is situated in the old station house.
Grindleford was on one of these and the influence of transport has shaped its development over the centuries.
Grindleford may be named after "the ford where grindstones crossed the river", or because the original ford had become too deep for use and had been "ground away".
Grindleford station, at the western end of Totley Tunnel was the nearest, and therefore the cheapest, destination to and from Sheffield.
