  • 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.

  • 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.

W. Harrison We are most saddened to have to report that one of your committee, Tony Wheeldon, died sudden- ly last week (3 Oct.). This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his many friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Tony has been of great help to the Society during his all too short a tenure as committee member, taking on all sorts of tasks, particularly those of a physical nature now becoming beyond the reach of some of us. The Society is in a poorer state for his passing. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish through lack of committee members. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. Recent fall outs from the committee include our hard working publicity officer, Charles Baumann, who has resigned due to family and other commitments however he has intimated that he would be available to help out on occasion subject to his availability from his other extensive interests.

Returning to Saddleworth after five months of being unwell, I look forward to Advent and the Christmas season. There is something powerful about discovering that in times of darkness and the icy winter of the soul the whisper of God’s breath is not absent. The presence of God is more a spark or the subtle flicker of a tiny flame than the glare of fairy lights and Christmas decorations. Through Advent we watch with those who live with darkness; with fear; with anxiety. We watch for the glimpses of God at work and we wait for dawn to break. And as we wait for the shadows to pass Index and the sun to rise we begin to see that the birth of Jesus is but one Page of many manifestations of God. In the gloom we see what God has always been revealing through beauty, colour, music, birdsong; that The Rector writes… 3 God delights in giving himself to us; pouring out his life for us; Portraying the Nativity 4 touching us with his grace. ‘Making a Difference’ 1 4 I have discovered fragility, vulnerability, betrayal and unfathomable #FollowTheStar 5 sadness, yet I have known also the beautiful, mysterious power of Who’s Who 6 love and prayer and friendship.

  • Complete List of Officers and Men Ashton Pals Battalion 1914
    Complete List of Officers and Men Ashton Pals Battalion The Cheshire Reporter August 15 th 1914 An Historic Number On page 6 of this issue we give a complete list of the names of the officers and men of the Ashton Battalion Territorials. At such a time the list of names must be of supreme interest to the people of Ashton and district as there is scarcely a family that has not a representative or friend in the Territorials. This is the first time in history the Territorials have been called up on active service and the public interest in this fine body of citizen soldiers has been much deepened by the announcement made during the week that no less than 858 of the Territorials have in response to an invitation from the War Office volunteered for service abroad. It was not known up to yesterday (Friday) when they would be called upon to leave the town, but a communication is expected from the War Office at any moment. The men are standing by in readiness for the call. They are full of enthusiasm and are eager to go wherever they should be called. It is stated that they may be asked to go to Malta, Gibraltar or Egypt. For this reason the publication of the names of the whole of the officers and men of the battalion constitutes this issue of the “Reporter” an historic number. This list has never previously been given anywhere. It should therefore be kept by everyone and will no doubt be cherished in families for many generations showing as it will the noble response made by their ancestors when, England and all Europe was involved in the greatest peril the human race has ever known.

  • Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfinder Heritage
    Oldham Rochdale HMR Pathfi nder Heritage Assessment Executive Summary September 2006 CONTENTS 1.00 INTRODUCTION 1 2.00 OLDHAM 4 3.00 ROCHDALE 11 4.00 MIDDLETON 17 1 Introduction 1.00 INTRODUCTION Background Oldham and Rochdale Partners in Action have commissioned a series of heritage assessments of the Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfi nder (HMRP) area, one of nine Partnership areas where the housing market has been identifi ed by the Government as weak and in need of fundamental change. The aim of the Partnership is to enable the delivery of a high quality, sustainable urban environment which address the problem of concentrations of poor and outmoded housing. An extensive series of actions that will reverse decline and reinvigorate the housing market are planned, which will initially involve strategic interventions in four neighbourhoods: • Derker and Werneth Freehold districts of Oldham, • East Central Rochdale area of Rochdale, and the • Langley area of Middleton. A combination of refurbishment, demolition and new building is being used to replace dated, unpopular housing of all types and periods with modern sustainable accommodation, supported by other initiatives such as Neighbourhood Renewal and New Deal for Communities. The aim is to deliver over a 10–15 year period clean, safe, healthy and attractive environments in which people can take pride. Recognising and building on the heritage value of the existing communities is a key component of the overall strategy for renewal. This is why the Partnership supports the need for heritage assessments which can be used to inform spatial planning and development decisions at a variety of levels, from the masterplanning of whole neighbourhoods to the reuse and refurbishment of individual buildings.
