W. Harrison We are very sad to have to report that one of the new members of your committee, Peter Robinson, died last March. This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. 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. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

These multiple activities were not just neighbours but overlapped each other and interacted in the same location; the Saddleworth area being no exception. The Pennines natural barrier influenced the patterns of urban interactions. Initially, the majority of industrial traffic across the Pennines was carried most effectively on packhorse causeways built by township surveyors almost regardless of gradients, and wheeled vehicles mainly undertook only very localised journeys. The north-west had a long history of textile production from the 14th century, based mainly on wool and linen (fustians), and in Yorkshire, the woollen trade grew and flourished during the period 1500-1700. Initially practised as a domestic industry, the development of technolo- gy from the 1750s (the flying shuttle, spinning jenny and carding machine) combined with access to foreign raw materials and markets through the Mersey and Humber, resulted in an unprecedented increase of production within the textile industry and a move into purpose-built mills.

  • 18 Standedge
    mjf 25 18. STANDEDGE The canal tunnel opened for use in 1811 and is the longest and oldest of the four tunnels, as well as being the longest and highest canal tunnel in the United Kingdom. It is also one of the longest operational canal tunnels in the world. The tunnel was dug by hand using pickaxes, shovels and gunpowder by men known as ‘navvies’, short for navigators. As with many ambitious projects, the construction of the tunnel was beset by problems and ended up taking much longer than was originally envisioned, with the canal finally becoming a through route some 17 years after work first began. On 9 June 1809, the two ends of the tunnel finally met. Nearly two years after that, on 26 March 1811, the tunnel was declared to be complete and a grand opening ceremony was held on 4 April. A party of invited guests, followed by several working boats, entered the tunnel at Diggle and completed the journey to Marsden in one hour and forty minutes. The tunnel had cost some £160,000 and was the The Standedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre is situated on the banks of the most expensive canal tunnel built in Britain. historic Huddersfield Narrow Canal, about a mile from Marsden village centre. Marsden Jazz Festival gig goers have enjoyed a short walk along the As the tunnel is only wide enough for one narrowboat for much of its length and to save on cost, as in scenic canal bank for the past fifteen years. Often used as a setting for some other canal tunnels in England, a tow-path was not provided.

  • Item No. the Executive 14 October 2002 Report of the Assistant Chief Executive Policy Performance and Regeneration Diggle Fram
    ITEM NO. THE EXECUTIVE 14 OCTOBER 2002 REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF EXECUTIVE POLICY PERFORMANCE AND REGENERATION DIGGLE FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT 1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 To inform the Executive of the development of the Diggle Framework document and to seek comments on the content of the document; 1.2 To seek authority to progress the initiative as set out in the report and support bids for external funding as necessary. 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 The re-opening of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to through navigation in April 2001 has provided the opportunity to look at the Diggle area and how benefits can be brought to the area without causing detriment to the local community. 2.2 In promoting tourism development arising from the restoration of the Canal, we are presented with an opportunity to examine the Diggle area, including sites such as the former Diggle Tip and Station Road railway sidings and in turn produce a comprehensive study which will guide development to capitalise upon the tourism and leisure potential of the area. This in turn will generate extra visitor trips, demands for car parking and the need for improved visitor facilities, which will all need to be managed in a co- ordinated and comprehensive manner. 2.3 The aims of the framework are as follows: • To encourage and direct appropriate development; • Secure economic, social and environmental benefits for Diggle in particular, neighbouring areas of Saddleworth and Oldham borough in general; • Enhance and protect the sensitive rural and conservation aspects of the locality; • Make the best use of the opportunities afforded by the area and its environs; • Develop Oldham’s tourism industry in conjunction with other complementary uses; • Promote opportunities for appropriate private sector investment, building on the Millennium project to re-open the Standedge tunnel and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to through navigation and • Assist the Council and its partners in making bids for external funding.

  • SMART Railplan 7 Comments
    S M A R T Slaithwaite and Marsden Action on Rail Transport The action group for public transport in the Colne Valley of Yorkshire Response to Consultation on Draft Railplan 7 1. Summary 1.1. Data relating to the train service at Slaithwaite and Marsden is missing from the report. Whilst it would be welcome to have some understanding as to why this is, it is more important that this is rectified by inclusion of the missing data. 1.2. According to its website, WYITA is the driving force co-ordinating the provision and development of high-quality public transport services for everybody within West Yorkshire. WYITA’s duty is to 'secure or promote the provision of a system of public transport which meets the needs of the area', should ensure that is remedied and that the needs of the whole area, including Marsden and Slaithwaite, are taken into account in reports shaping its public transport policy. Both the Yorkshire Rail Network Study and Draft Railplan 7 fail to do this. 1.3. Specific proposals for service improvement at Slaithwaite and Marsden are missing from the report. If the proposals within the report were to be implemented in full, the outcome would be to leave Slaithwaite and Marsden as two of only four stations in West Yorkshire to have a service which is no better than hourly. 1.4. As the final version of Railplan 7 will inform the franchising process, it is important that it contains Metro’s aspirations for maintaining and improving the train service, and that it covers all routes within West Yorkshire.

Plant fossils can be seen in the quarry spoil and blocks of fallen rock. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS: The quarry produced large quantities of building stones and flag stones. The site has industrial archaeological interest, containing the remains of a loading bay for the inclined plane used to transport quarried stone down to the road. The quarrying is referred to in the Holmfirth and Glossop memoir (see details below) p177. It was recorded in 1933 that the quarries (called Pule Edge Quarries) were actively producing paving stones, setts and building stone. Adjacent to the site are spoil tips containing material removed during the construction of the Standedge tunnels. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: This is an excellent site demonstrating the quarrying of stone, with interesting structures in the quarry face. It is often used for guided geological walks which include ‘Goniatite Gully’ and the geology of Marsden.
