After over twenty five years as postmasters at Kirkheaton Post Office on St Mary’s Lane, Lynn and Michael Whitehouse are preparing to stick their last stamps, weigh their last parcels, close the PO and retire. Fortunately, Kirkheaton is not losing its PO. If all goes to plan it will relocate to the newsagents at the corner of Shop Lane and Town Road in the near future. However, this has caused some concern among residents as parking and pedestrian access are serious issues in the area. But on the plus side it will have two Bumper open counters and will be open for longer hours six and half days a week. Various other venues were considered but have issue! had to be discounted for varying reasons. NCS SUCCESS Michael became postmaster in April 1998 after a career as a mining surveyor. He commented “ When Margaret Thatcher THIRTY YEARS ON! closed down all the pits, my job disappeared, so I did what I always fancied doing - run a PO - which I’ve really enjoyed.” DALTON WARD During his 25 years at the job he has seen many changes. WEEKEND “Business has changed. At one time there were OAP’s queuing out of the door to collect their money on pension days. All that has gone now as pensions are paid directly into bank accounts. The government has also moved many of its services online so many people no longer renew their car tax or buy their TV licences etc at the PO.

    PONTEFRACT, CASTLEFORD AND KNOTTINGLEY Author: Peter Cookson Number of Pages: 112 pages Published Date: 17 Feb 2003 Publisher: Bellcode Books Publication Country: Rudston, United Kingdom Language: English ISBN: 9781871233155 DOWNLOAD: PONTEFRACT, CASTLEFORD AND KNOTTINGLEY Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley PDF Book JeanCamp,HelenNissenbaum,CathleenMcGrath GroupsandAnonymity OntheSecurityofHomageGroupAuthenticationProtocol. With verve and self- assurance, it addresses a broad, central question: How can we improve our understanding of the large-scale processes and structures that transformed the world of the nineteenth century and are transforming our world today. Anstey takes us into new terrain and new interpretations of Locke's thought in his explorations of his mercurialist transmutational chymistry, his theory of generation by seminal principles, and his conventionalism about species. This second edition is fully revised and updated to include changes to the UK law as a result of recent EU legislation, which will have a significant impact on archivists and archival researchers. Research directors and legislative or administrative advisers do not have the time to scan the escalating number of technical publications that may contain articles mtportant to current responsibility. The author's treatment is mathematically thorough and consistent, and the book gives the necessary background on existential and conceptual graphs. Each of the chapters reviews current knowledge in a defined area of ecohydraulic experimental research. Embryology at a Glance introduces the basic principles of human development, from mitosis and meiosis, and walks you through the primary formation of each body system, with coverage of the continued development of the respiratory and vascular systems during the foetal and neonatal periods. Nonetheless there are overlaps that many families will identify with.

  • Huddersfield (Town Centre and University) to Holmfirth (Town Centre)
    Holmfirth Transitional Town Proposed Cycle Route – Huddersfield (town centre and university) to Holmfirth (town centre). The proposal seeks to create, as far as possible, an off road cycle path between the town centres of Huddersfield and Holmfirth, together with link paths from other significant Holme Valley settlements, notably Honley, Brockholes, Netherthong, New Mill and Wooldale. In addition to these settlements there are a number of other significant workplace and school destinations linked to or on the proposed route, notably Thongsbridge, Armitage Bridge, Lockwood, Folly Hall, Kirklees College, and Honley and Holmfirth High Schools Where an off road path is not considered to be achievable, the proposed route utilises the road network, with appropriate amendments and improvements to create a safe cycling environment. The existing and proposed routes are described below in clearly identifiable sections. Existing routes include some off road paths which are usable and used currently for cycling, and which will become part of the complete route, subject to any necessary improvements. Where off road paths connect to the road network, and for on road elements of the route, improvements to create a safe cycling environment are proposed. The route sections 1. Huddersfield town centre, within the ring road 2. Ring Road to Lockwood 3. Lockwood to Berry Brow 4. Berry Brow to Honley 5. Honley to Thongsbridge 6. Thongsbridge to Holmfirth 1. Huddersfield town centre – within the ring road The town centre is generally regarded as a relatively safe cycling environment. Traffic levels have been reduced by the introduction of bus gates, and speeds are relatively low. Some cycling infrastructure has been provided and there are some signed routes and safe ring road crossings, however provision is piecemeal and further improvements are required.

It benefits from being close to the village of Holmfirth which is renowned for both art and music. There is a good range of local schools, services and recreational facilities with a wider range in the neighbouring town of Huddersfield. Introduction Northgate House is a fine example of a country house built in the neo classical style of the Regency period and stands proudly surrounded by sweeping lawns and woodland. It provides a wealth of perfectly proportioned rooms leading off a central hallway with iron railed staircase. The square Georgian architecture is softened by curvaceous arches, moulded alcoves and a glass dome that allows the day to cascade down the staircase and fill the hall with natural light. Sumptuous bathrooms and some contemporary renovation, especially the airy, light, lofted library, have been introduced with such sympathy and cleanness of line that the historic elegance of the house has in no way been betrayed.
