Then further eruptions and flashes convinced me it was merely a violent thunderstorm, but still daunting at the prospects of a walk along Froggatt Edge in the Peak District. Setting off at 8.30 to Chorley station, the morning was going darker, not lighter, with heavy threatening cloud and the occasional shower thrown in. The weather forecast was confusing, is the Peak District in the Midlands, Eastern England, the North West…? All areas had quite different forecasts, the Midlands having the best. Seventeen of us caught the 8.56 train, changing at Manchester for the Hope Valley stopping train, to Grindleford. After a short meander we caught a double decker bus down the Derwent Valley to Baslow, the gateway to the Chatsworth estate. Here, at Nether End, are toilets, café, etc. by the village green. Ron and Margaret had got off at the stop earlier by the old bridge and the church, to find a geo-cach. We started our walk up to Baslow Bar, meeting Ron and Margaret again at the first corner, for a gradual climb up Bar Road, passing Lady Wall Well, now on a track up to Baslow Edge. Near the top is Wellington’s Monument, a stone built cross erected in 1866, and a fine viewpoint for lunch. Behind us was Eagle Stone, a massive curiously shaped rock, then along Baslow Edge, and its viewfinder, identifying Kinder Scout in the distance, behind all the others. By now it was really clear, and becoming sunny, with a gentle breeze on the edge. When I recce’d this a fortnight earlier I could hardly stand up on the edge for the gale force winds. Above the village of Curbar the edge becomes Curbar Edge, full of broken rocks of curious shapes and sizes, with a few grindstone wheels here and there, probably rejects, from a by-gone age. A careful path leads through all these, though the main track is a few yards to the east, but with lesser views. Beyond the highest point of Curbar Edge comes Froggatt Edge, yes, above the village of Froggatt, today busy with rock climbers in the ideal weather. Views now were brilliant---Hope Valley, Edale, Kinder Scout peeping above, the Upper Derwent Valley, Howden Moors, and Derwent Moors. Eventually leaving the edge for the moors of Longshaw estate, and crossing high above the Totley railway tunnel we come to Longshaw Lodge, the 1827 home of the Duke of Rutland, now owned by the National Trust. A commemorative millstone by the approach footpath depicts the 50 th anniversary of the Peak District National Park, 1951-2001, Britain’s first national park. To the rear is the ornate Longshaw House. At the front are the visitor centre, tea rooms with outside tables, toilets in the courtyard, etc., all in charming surrounds. We had a break here, Barbara treating me to a refreshing scone and coffee. With an hour’s walk yet to the station we took the easy descent to Burbage Bridge, then followed the Burbage Brook, and down through the Padley Gorge, a delightful ancient woodland, still part of the Longshaw Estate. A rocky path leads through the woods, needing care above the deep ravine, but very light and airy, especially in April before full leaf growth, and with brilliant sunlight shining on the bare trees. Lower down we took the bottom path by Burbage Brook, passing the wide bridge which carries the aqueduct from the Derwent Dams to Leicester. We came out of the woods to join the track from the ancient Padley Chapel, well worth a visit if we had more than the 10 minutes for the train. We caught the 5.29 train back to Manchester, and were in Chorley at 7.23 p.m, right on time. All this on a wayfarer ticket for £10, or over 60’s £5, a real bargain at any price. Story by Bernard Parkinson (Photo by Ron Smith) Another of our very popular Sunday walks.

Photographer. We set off along the road towards High Newton Village and Graham Thomas then climbed up to High Newton Reservoir. We forked left at a grassy track then followed a lane to pass a Farm on the right Thanks very much to Graham for leading a lovely walk and for then onto Simpson Ground. Our route gave us great views adapting his planned route to accommodate our visit to Field End over the Kent Estuary and viewing the Estuary from such a Farm; we really appreciated it. different angle led some of us to try to puzzle out which bit of the estuary we were looking at, could it be Arnside? Yes, it was! We turned left into Astley’s Plantation and followed a rough track down through the woodland. At a junction we took the right hand option and eventually came out of the trees and we could see towards Newby Bridge to the west and wondered at the full length of Lake Windermere to the North. We descended through woodland to a lane, over a stile to drop through a field and on to the old disused A590 again, then on to the A590. We took our courage and dashed across this busy road and reached a quiet lane. At a right hand bend we climbed over a stile to the left into rough field. We walked south to eventually climb over stile onto Palace Lane. Continued south to a junction and went right and through Hazelrigg Farm then along track to another farm.

  • Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley
    Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley May 2020 (Updated March 2021) Introduction 1. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) sets out that local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement. 2. This statement covers the five year period 1st April 2020 – 31st March 2025. It sets out the housing requirement for the five year period and assesses the land supply available to deliver the requirement. 3. Overall the statement concludes that there is sufficient land available across the Borough with a 11.2 year deliverable housing supply over the period 2020-2025. Five Year Housing Requirement 4. Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 4 sets out a housing requirement of 417 dwellings per annum in Chorley over the period 2010-2026 which is the starting point for calculating the five year supply. This equates to a total of 6,672 dwellings over the plan period. At April 2010 Chorley had prior under- provision of 162 dwellings, which Policy 4 requires the Council to make up over the remainder of the plan period. Therefore, at April 2010 the housing requirement for the Borough was 6,834 dwellings. 5. Table 1 sets out housing completions over the period 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2020. It identifies that 6,010 dwellings have been completed in the period and there is a surplus of 1,678 dwellings above the requirement for that period (taking into account the prior under-provision of 162 dwellings).

  • Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

  • Northern League / Palace Shield Links a Meeting of Palace Shield
    Northern League / Palace Shield Links A meeting of Palace Shield clubs will be held on Mon 14th November. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the proposed links with the Northern League. At the meeting, the clubs will be asked to vote on whether to continue with the process of working towards a formal link. If the clubs vote in favour, the Exec will work to ascertain the necessary rule changes which will be put to a Special General Meeting probably in March 2017. The Exec will also work with the Northern League to ensure that both competitions are still on board and on track to put everything in place. If the clubs vote against continuing with the process, the discussions with the Northern League on these proposals will be closed. Some of the issues were discussed at the Management Meeting on October 24th following the distribution of a framework document. The following points are here to help clarify the framework document and many of them were covered in the meeting: 1. General 1.1 On some occasions, the term 'merger' has been used to describe the agreement between the two competitions. The Exec would like to put on record that any agreement would not constitute a merger in any sense but would merely allow closer links between the two different competitions. 1.2 The competitions will remain autonomous playing under their own rules and conditions. Registrations etc will be kept separate and each competitions will continue to have full control over their own rules on eligibility etc and any team that moved between the competitions will be adopting the rules in that competition.
