I spent all my early years in Buxton, Derbyshire.
On a small holiday in 2001 and looking for a name to call my outside catering company,
the idea came home when myself and a group of family and friends were walking up to Solomon's Temple.
One member said "how about Solomon's Samosas?" I thought for a few minutes.
No, but I liked the idea of using the temple so then the name "Temple Foods" came up.
So here are some pictures of Solomon's Temple which was built as a folly in the 1890's
on a roman burial mound. If you click on the button we can all go for a walk through the
woods and up to the temple.......ENJOY. Also there is a small film of Buxton town.
Both films are better with sound.
If you look to the south of Buxton, you will see Solomon's Temple.
This Temple was built in the 1890s, and dominates the skyline standing at an
altitude of 1,440 feet on a Bronze Age barrow. This temple is well worth trekking to its lofty heights.
On a clear day, you have a clear view across the town and as far away as Mam Tor.
You will see the Iron Age settlement that stands proud on the horizon, towards the
north-east and the area known in this part of the Derbyshire Peak District as "Dark Peak".
It's also where the Pennine Way begins at Edale.
