  • 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.

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.

  • 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. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-44-millstone-edge-and-blackstone-edge Millstone Edge The starting point is located at the west end of the Standedge Cutting on the A62. The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way north-west along Millstone Edge for 3¼ miles (5¼ kilometres). Crossing straight over the busy main road, a finger sign points along a hardcore track. Soon another sign marks a right turn over a fence stile, joining a path running along the edge of the moorland plateau towards an OS pillar (1 = SE 012 104). Standedge Standedge has long been an important transportation route. Since 1811, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal has run through a tunnel beneath the Pennine ridge, connecting Marsden in the Colne Walk 44: Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge page 1 Valley and Diggle in Saddleworth. This was joined in 1849 by a direction, crossing a mossy area (Green Hole Hill) as it swings around to railway tunnel, which at around 3 miles (5 kilometres) was then head north-north-west, following the broad ridge down towards the A672.

  • 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.

Our activities this year have been very much dominated by the production of our new publication, the sequel to Mapping Saddleworth which we published two years ago. At the time we realised that there were far more interesting maps of Saddleworth than could be contained in a single volume so it was planned to issue a second volume of maps before Christmas this year. I am pleased to say we have met our targets and the new book, Mapping Saddleworth II will be launched here in the Museum this Saturday, September 26th. I will return to this later when I review the state of play with our publications. Your committee took the decision this year to move forward the day of the annual general meeting from December to September. This was for a number of reasons.
