Tongue Lane, a generally quiet area set aside for light industry and a variety of commercial businesses which are accessed via Fairfield and Queen's Roads. This small industrial estate is virtually surrounded by striking countryside, with scenic views looking towards the east.  Industrial Estate A large tract of land towards the south, and bordering Cunningdale, an SSSI, has been earmarked for the building of further Council and Private housing, where it will connect with dwellings built during the immediate post war period and in the early nineteen seventies.  Industrial Estate It may be of interest to note that this new addition will most likely make travelling along the A6 (Fairfield road) to gain access into the town, or all points south, south-east and west from this area, extremely difficult indeed. Accidents and other blockages have caused access difficulties in the past, whereby it has often been necessary to travel more than eighteen miles in a round trip via Whaley Bridge, just to get from central Buxton to Fairfield itself, less than a mile distant...  View Towards Combs Moss Plans for building a bypass to alleviate this problem, made worse by the heavy volume of traffic that now uses the main A6 trunk road, were made known as early as 1936. For those living in Buxton, the demand for a bypass has been a very long standing one, it seems doubtful that those in charge of granting the construction of new roads, will likely do anything to solve this problem.
