  • Tame Valley to Heights
    Along the Tame Valley to Heights Start: Millgate Car Park, Millgate, Delph Distance: 8.2 kilometres/5 miles Ascent: 270 metres/885 feet Time: 3 hours Introduction Starting from the quaint little village of Delph this easy, delightful walk sets out along the Tame Valley, where you will see rich evidence of the area’s historic and industrial past. At the head of the valley, you will pass through Denshaw, Saddleworth’s most northerly village, which has seen human activity since the Stone Age. Leaving the valley, the route now crosses farmland to the 18th century Heights Chapel, which has appeared in several films and television productions. Here you can enjoy a rest in the Heights Pub before making the final short descent back into Delph. Walk Description Nestled at the convergence of the Castleshaw and Denshaw valleys, Delph derives its name from the old English word ‘delf’, which means ‘quarry’. Bakestones were quarried in the Castleshaw Valley, just to the north of the village: the three-quarter inch thick quarried tiles were used to bake oatcakes and muffins. The area was probably first populated around the time that a Roman garrison was stationed at the Castleshaw Fort in AD79. From the late 1700s, the area supported the thriving textile industry, and the centre of the village has changed little since the early 19th century. The start point for this delightful walk is Millgate car park opposite the Co-operative Hall. Built in 1864, the hall is now a theatre and library and is managed by a local theatrical group called Saddleworth Players.

This took place on the 25th September, three days after our Annual General Meeting. The launch was combined with a day school on “Mapping the Past” which was held under the auspices of the South Pennine History Forum, a group of local history societies from across the South Pennines. Much of our efforts since the launch have been directed towards promoting sales of the book and during the year we have held several exhibitions and book-signing events. The production of the book has been a monumental task for the Society and I would like to pay tribute to all the hard work that went into it by the publications committee. But all the effort has been worth it; the book is a wonderful production which enhances our reputation as a local historical society.

Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly.

  • True Extent of Poverty in Greater Manchester Revealed
    MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed until 00.01 on Wednesday 21st October 2020 True extent of poverty in Greater Manchester revealed Greater Manchester Poverty Action are calling for urgent steps to tackle poverty as new analysis reveals already high levels of poverty in Greater Manchester are likely to have been exacerbated by the pandemic. New analysis of poverty in Greater Manchester launched today reveals that: 620,000 people are living in poverty 200,000 children live in households with an income below the poverty line 157,000 households are experiencing fuel poverty Around a quarter of a million people are claiming help towards housing costs 20% of all jobs in Greater Manchester are paid less than the Real Living Wage. The data, gathered as part of Greater Manchester Poverty Action’s ‘GM Poverty Monitor 2020’, finds signs that already high levels of poverty in the city region are likely to have got worse during the COVID-19 pandemic: The number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits in Greater Manchester rose by 93% between March and August 2020. There has been a sharp increase in the number of people claiming Universal Credit in each of the city region’s ten boroughs. Campaigners are calling for tackling poverty to be put at the heart of the city region’s recovery plan from the pandemic, but say efforts to address poverty locally need to be supported by national policy. Graham Whitham, Director of Greater Manchester Poverty Action said, “The Poverty Monitor highlights the worrying scale of poverty across our city region. Even before the pandemic, Greater Manchester was home to some of the highest rates of poverty in the country.

    £1 June & July 2018 © Trustees of the British Museum Issue 4 “Celebrating God’s presence in all people.” www.cofeinsaddleworth.org.uk - - - 2 - The Rector writes... The disciples of Jesus said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’. These were people who were familiar with Jewish customs and familiar with ritual prayer, structured prayer, formulaic prayer. Yet they asked Jesus to teach them something deeper, something that would sustain them. They recognised in Jesus that his relationship with God went beyond the familiar strict boundaries of known prayer. Frequently recently I have been approached with the same request, ‘Teach us to pray’. It is a cry from the heart. It expresses a desire to be drawn into a deeper life with God; into something that is more than that with which we are familiar. It is a yearning to inhabit a way of living that embraces mystery and silence. It is a desire to live Index more deeply and more meaningfully in a world where human value is primarily seen through the eyes of productivity, usefulness and Page success. Silence, which lies at the very heart of prayer, is The Rector writes 3 counter-intuitive in a world of competing, justifying, comparing and Benefice Who’s Who 4 winning.
