  • DEATH on the HOME FRONT Pam Brooke
    DEATH ON THE HOME FRONT Pam Brooke Much has been written about the Military Service Act and the operation of Tribunals however this has mostly focused on the outcome for conscientious objectors and little has been written about those who sought exemption on other grounds.1 One particularly tragic case from the Colne Valley illustrates the wide repercussions that the refusal of one man’s application for exemption had on both his family and the wider community. On Wednesday 28 November 1916, at Slaithwaite Town Hall, 62-year-old James Shaw, blacksmith and hill farmer appeared before the local Tribunal to request an extension to his son’s Exemption Certificate. Charles, aged 28, he said, was his only son and worked with him in the blacksmith shop and on the farm. Depicting himself to be ‘a poor talker’ James presented his case in a written statement which the military representative described as ‘resembling a sermon’. In response James explained that he was a regular worshipper at Pole Moor Baptist Chapel, Scammonden.2 New Gate Farm cottage as seen today.

  • Walk the Way in a Day Walk 44 Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge
    Walk the Way in a Day Walk 44 Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge A long walk following the Pennine Way through a 1965 - 2015 landscape of rugged charm, with moorland paths running along Millstone Grit scarps. The return route follows tracks and lanes through the Saddleworth area, with its scatter of reservoirs, functional villages and untidy farmsteads. Length: 17½ miles (28 kilometres) Ascent: 2,704 feet (825 metres) Highest Point: 472 metres (1,549 feet) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Maps 1 (‘The Peak District - Dark Peak’) (West Sheet) and 21 (‘South Pennines’) (South Sheet) Starting Point: Standedge parking area, Saddleworth (SE 019 095) Facilities: Inn nearby.

  • Calderdale MBC Wards Affected All Cabinet 1St October 2018 7 2018/19 Winter Maintenance
    Calderdale MBC Wards Affected All Cabinet 1st October 2018 7 2018/19 Winter Maintenance Joint Report of Director for Regeneration and Strategy and Director for Public Services 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 Changes in the Highway Maintenance Code of Good Practice suggest that Local Highway Authorities should consider a body of evidence in order to calculate “risk” and in light of that calculation, determine an appropriate level of treatment in mitigation. 1.2 Winter gritting is a vital service in Calderdale and there is a need to hone the service to meet resident and business needs. 2. Need for a decision 2.1 This report contains the current list of treatable roads and in broad terms proposes to continue to treat the extensive established list of 1,135 treatable roads in Calderdale (67% of the network). It indicates that a small number of roads (which have had some treatment in the past) cannot be treated due to impediments to safe gritter access and these are listed. 2.2 The report gives details of a proposed highway hierarchy within Calderdale and suggests appropriate levels of treatment in accordance with the above. 2.3 The report describes the intervention levels that will apply for precautionary gritting. 2.4 Council Officers are now seeking permission from Cabinet to implement the actions identified as above. 3. Recommendation It is recommended: 3.1 that Members are requested to agree the winter policy described in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 and appendices 1-4. 4. Background and/or details 4.1 The United Kingdom Roads Liaison Group published its Code of Practice 'Well-managed Highway Infrastructure' on 28 October 2016.

  • MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND a Tourist’S Guide to Interesting Archaeological Sites in West Yorkshire
    Registry of Deeds Newstead Road Wakefield, WF1 2DE 01924 306797 [email protected] MEG DYKE, BARKISLAND A tourist’s guide to interesting archaeological sites in West Yorkshire [Meg Dyke seen from the air. The upstanding embankments can clearly be seen forming an L shape in the centre of the image. Photograph courtesy of English Heritage.] The earthworks Meg Dyke is a prehistoric settlement enclosed by a double bank with an intervening ditch. Although the site has been damaged in places by 19th century quarrying and by the construction of Scammonden Road, Meg Dyke still remains a substantial earthwork. In places the inner bank is 6.0m wide and the outer one is about 4.0m wide. Both still stand to a height of 1.0m. The ditch between the two embankments is up to 4.0m wide and 1.0m deep. A substantial part of the central area of the enclosure has been damaged by quarrying and it is therefore impossible to determine if there were any internal features Dating evidence There is no firm dating evidence for this earthwork. An excavation across the bank and ditch in 1976 only produced undiagnostic fragments of iron. It has however been tentatively assigned to the Iron Age on typological grounds. 1 This guide was written by Dave Weldrake (© WYAAS 2010) More information on Iron Age Research Agenda the WYAAS website External links Pastscape features detailed information on the site from English Heritage. Old photographs and an early description of the site can be found in Early Man in the District of Huddersfield Location Meg Dyke is cut by Scammonden Road at approximately SE 0498 1745.
