  • Notes on Stanbury
    D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel.

  • Chapter Two: Local Difficulties During the Late Eighteenth and Early
    Chapter Two: Local Difficulties During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries destitution was an ever-present threat; violently oscillating trade cycles meant that even wealthy manufacturers could end their days in a workhouse. There was no real security during the early industrial period. In response to this situation, Friendly Societies were set up to provide some form of insurance in the event of sickness or unexpected death. One of these was the Kildwick Parish Friendly Society, which had already been established by 1/1/1799. In exchange for 2/- paid in by each member per quarter, each would receive 7/- weekly if unable to work in the case of illness or injury. An entry book recorded the rules of this Society and according to Wood p.56; they indicated that drunkenness was something of a problem. “KILDWICK PARISH FRIENDLY SOCIETY January 1st 1799 Rules 1. Every member to pay 2/- quarterly into the box, besides the allowance for a pint of ale. 2. Any members sick or lame or otherwise indisposed so as to render him unfit to work shall receive 7/- weekly. 3. When a member shall depart this life there shall be paid the sum of 5gns (Guineas) out of the box to defray expenses of the funeral 4. After payment for 12 months to any member, his pay will then be only 5/- per week 5. Any member refusing to conform to the rules shall forfeit 6d to the box 6. Any member joining the procession in a state of intoxication or behaving disorderly or absent from Divine Service shall forfeit 1/- to the box 7.

  • 'Worth Valley' User's Manual
    ‘Worth Valley’ User’s Manual | ©Steam Sounds Supreme The ‘Worth Valley’ for Train Simulator User Manual STEAM AND DIESEL Era: The year 2000 Onward Introduction: The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a 5-mile long heritage railway in the north-west of England and has been lovingly recreated for Train Simulator by the talented teams at Vulcan Productions and Skyhook Games Ltd, with additions by Blast Pipe Productions. Much work has also been carried out in-house by Steam Sounds Supreme. But before we move onto learning about the pack, let’s give you a brief history of the real-world Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. A History: The Worth Valley branch was opened to passenger trains on 15th April 1867. The line was operated by the Midland Railway. In 1892, the original route between Oakworth and Haworth was abandoned, with a deviation through Mytholmes tunnel being built. The reason for this deviation was because some passengers felt the trestle viaduct on the original route was unsafe and would avoid using the train between Oakworth and Haworth. This coincided with the Midland buying out the Great Northern Railway and taking full ownership of the branch. In 1923 the Midland was absorbed into the LMS of the grouping era, and then into British Railways in 1948. Unfortunately, the writing was on the wall. And just 14 years later, the line was closed. Preservation: In 1962, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society was formed. Rail enthusiasts and local people raised the money to buy the branch off British Railways.
