Abstract of thesis. Land in Halifax parish was steep and infertile, partible inheritance was traditional, and the inhabitants resorted to industry. By 1700 the occupational structure indicates exceptional industrialisation. The study examines developments as additional products were introduced, each with distinct origins and technology, and industry transferred from cottages to factories. In 1700 Halifax industry was rural, its product woollen kersey, its driving force the larger-scale clothiers who made goods themselves, put work out, and bought from smaller producers. They sought markets and built up networks of mercantile contacts. Accumulated capital enabled them to extend the product range with worsteds, to meet new and growing demand for lighter- fabrics, which required more labour than kersey. Factors which prompted the emergence of industry facilitated early adoption of new technology. Water power was exploited to enhance output of existing industry, and reduce its costs. The earlier possibilities for machanisation, and for growth, presented by cotton manufacture were taken, and a new industry introduced. Land formations which provided water power delayed urbanisation and adoption of steam power in Halifax, where industry remained dispersed. Natural advantages, at that time, lent impetus to industrial growth in Bradford, and the centre of the worsted industry moved there. Greater diversification into separate branches of textiles, each made in wide product ranges, compensated in Halifax. The determination of Halifax manufacturers had expanded hand industry, and assisted its successful transfer to factories. They foresaw changes in taste, and produced suitable goods. Costs were reduced, and output increased, by their adoption of new methods. During the transition, they had a pool of skill on which to draw; on its completion they relied on power, and lower grades of labour,. which might, later, be found better elsewhere. -r =C V) 7; 1 1 0 F- ýD Z Q) U- eJ WO f YI\ d ", 0 %.O 21 _. -c- 1 % %. 0ý-Z UI. u lý Ul 1= c t% ýp, U -7:ý-; l 0 0 / -I -, # lb - -- wl 2 ..

There are many people I have to thank for their help and encouragement in the completion of this study. John Magson, formerly of Calderdale Museums Service, taught me to spin, and aroused my interest in the history of the Halifax industry. The unfailing courtesy and wide knowledge of the staff of Calderdale Central Library, and particularly that of the Archivist, Dr Alan Betteridge, has been of great assistance. I owe much gratitude to the Open University, both as an institution, and to all of the individuals with whom it has brought me in contact. My externalsupervisor, the late Jack Reynolds of Bradford University, was always ready with kind and practical advice and constructive criticism. I must also thank my family for their support, encouragement, and constant forbearance. Valerie Humphreys. ii Tables included in the text. vi Maps and diagrams included in the text. Viii Chapter 1.

The Halifax textile industry, the basis of the study. - The-textile industry in the old parish of Halifax, an area about 20 miles from east to west, and 16 from north to south, and roughly co-extensive with the present Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale, had three principal branches. To the long-established production of woollen cloths, manufacture of worsteds was added, in about 1700. Cotton manufacture was taken up in the middle of the 18th century, at first, as a small- scale output of luxury fabrics. By 1850, factory production of woollen, worsted and cotton goods was well established. In each branch of manufacture wide ranges of goods were made, although transition from domestic to factory manufacture was not complete. A little linen was manufactured in the parish, there was also an interest in silk spinning, and the production of carpets was gaining importance. Halifax parish was chosen as an area in which to examine changes in the textile industry, between 1700 and the middle of the 19th, century, because of the many facets the industry exhibited within a confined geographical and administrative area.

Plans are ‘sound’ if they are: - Positively Prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs; and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; - Justified – an appropriate strategy, taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; - Effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic matters that have been dealt with rather than deferred, as evidenced by the statement of common ground; and - Consistent with national policy – enabling the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with policies in this Framework. 1.2 Johnson Mowat make the following comments in relation to a number of Draft Policies in the Publication Draft and to the rejection of site LP1109, Northedge Lane, Hipperholme, Brighouse on behalf of Highstone Homes, who have in interest in the site.

These concerns were also raised by others. A new multi-modal model has been commissioned by West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) to assist with the planning of major new transport improvements, but has not as yet been made available, and CMBC continue to rely on the flawed CSTM work.

    Calderdale MBC Wards Affected All Cabinet 1st October 2018 7 2018/19 Winter Maintenance Joint Report of Director for Regeneration and Strategy and Director for Public Services 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 Changes in the Highway Maintenance Code of Good Practice suggest that Local Highway Authorities should consider a body of evidence in order to calculate “risk” and in light of that calculation, determine an appropriate level of treatment in mitigation. 1.2 Winter gritting is a vital service in Calderdale and there is a need to hone the service to meet resident and business needs. 2. Need for a decision 2.1 This report contains the current list of treatable roads and in broad terms proposes to continue to treat the extensive established list of 1,135 treatable roads in Calderdale (67% of the network). It indicates that a small number of roads (which have had some treatment in the past) cannot be treated due to impediments to safe gritter access and these are listed. 2.2 The report gives details of a proposed highway hierarchy within Calderdale and suggests appropriate levels of treatment in accordance with the above. 2.3 The report describes the intervention levels that will apply for precautionary gritting. 2.4 Council Officers are now seeking permission from Cabinet to implement the actions identified as above. 3. Recommendation It is recommended: 3.1 that Members are requested to agree the winter policy described in paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 and appendices 1-4. 4. Background and/or details 4.1 The United Kingdom Roads Liaison Group published its Code of Practice 'Well-managed Highway Infrastructure' on 28 October 2016.
