  • School Bus Services in the Oldham Area
    School Bus Services in the Oldham Area Summer 2020 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Oldham 15 June 2020 (1) - 1 - 15/06/2020 12:08:00 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

  • The Tudor Water Mill. ​By Peter James Corbally in 1543 Sir Robert
    The Tudor Water Mill. by Peter James Corbally ​ In 1543 Sir Robert Langley of Agecroft Hall, Lord of the Manor of Prestwich, built a weir across the River Irwell to provide water for a water mill. The weir was to raise the level of the river and pen back water that could be used to work the wheel at the mill. The weir was 20 yards long and 28 inches high above the river level raising the river level by an extra 24 inches. Presumably there was a mill race which led a forceful stream of water to the wheel. The mill and weir cost 300 marks to build and provided a profit of 40 marks per annum. It operated smoothly for four or so years. th Then on 20 ​ June 1548, Thomas Holland, Lord of the Manor of Clifton came with six ​ other men and broke down the end of the weir on the western bank. The water flowed out through the broken weir and the mill ceased operation. Truth to tell the western end of the weir rested on Thomas Holland’s land on the Clifton bank. Sir Robert Langley needed the co-operation of Thomas Holland in order to build the weir. The river must have been surveyed and the best spot for the weir must have rested on the Prestwich bank on the east and the Clifton bank on the west of the river. The two men, Sir Robert Langley and Thomas Holland, made a gentleman’s agreement about the weir five years earlier and Sir Robert, trusting Thomas Holland’s word, had gone ahead and built the project.

Introduction Middleton Township has a strong sense of community and identity, with clear ambitions for its people, and the local economy and environment. The quality of the environment in Middleton including its green spaces, watercourses, public realm and countryside is important in shaping how the Township is perceived and experienced by residents, visitors and investors. The environment is also part of Middleton’s essential infrastructure providing a number of key services for the Township and beyond including Rochdale borough and the core of Greater Manchester. This Action Plan sets out Middleton’s particular Green Infrastructure (GI) assets and a series of key objectives and projects to ensure that their value to the Township is fully realised in supporting economic growth, community health and well being and a sustainable environment which can help Middleton address the impacts of climate change. What is green infrastructure? The green spaces, open water, trees and gardens which surround, connect and form part of the built environment in Middleton provide a number of essential environmental services that support daily life, health, well-being and which supports the township’s regeneration and economic growth aspirations.
