Published to raise money for the “Surprise View” appeal fund, formed to save 245 acres near Hathersage from development. Since long ages past gamekeepers representing the landed gentry, who own vast tracts of mountain and moorland for grouse shooting, have preserved their fiefdom using both cudgels and guns as and when necessary. Only one footpath from Hayfield up Williams Clough brought ramblers close to the forbidden Kinder Scout. After the 1932 Mass Kinder Trespass, Benny Rothman and friends were sentenced to prison after being found guilty by a Jury comprising two brigadier-generals, three colonels, two majors, three captains and two aldermen. Not until 1958 was access obtained to Bleaklow and Kinder. Phil Barnes book ‘Trespassers will be Prosecuted’ was produced to highlight some of the forbidden Peak District areas for the frustrated working class people of Sheffield and Manchester. Produced in small numbers most have been lost and only very rarely does a fine copy come to light. (8)
