No.2 Early Inspiration

No.2 Early inspiration Holy Trinity was built by the young Benjamin Haigh Allen. We do not for certain where Allen was educated, but he was certainly a well taught young man. By the age of 21 he was managing a large estate and was a Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire. He was a keen proponent of education and set up a Sunday school for working children at Greenhead before the church was opened. It seems quite likely that he went to school at Healds Hall in Liversedge. Healds Hall was established as a boys boarding school in 1795 by the Rev Hammond Roberson. Roberson had a passion for education. Healds Hall was not his first school. While he served his curacy in Dewsbury, he was inspired by the Sunday school pioneer Robert Raikes of Gloucester, and started what was quite possibly the first Sunday school in the North of England. By 1783 it taught Rev Hammond Roberson nearly 400 working children. He then opened a day school at Squirrel Hall in Dewsbury Moor in 1788, later moving to Healds Hall. Roberson saw the need for a new church in the growing industrial area of the Spen Valley and used the proceeds from his school to build a church. Christ Church Liversedge was built at his personal expense at a cost of £7500. Roberson must have been a persuasive teacher, 35 of his pupils were later inspired to build churches themselves. Benjamin Haigh Allen may well have been one. Certainly Allen was inspired by Roberson. He started the one of the earliest Sunday school in Huddersfield, he had Holy Trinity built by the same architect to a very similar design and both had a strong belief in the establishment and maintaining law and order. Healds Hall was attacked by the Luddites in protest of the manner Roberson sought to quash the rebellion. Allen was equally forthright when he served as one of Huddersfield’s JPs and was required to summon military assistance to help keep local law and order. Roberson and Allen both left impressive legacies to their local communities and were inspiring figures of their day. We might not have their wealth, but we should try to emulate their zeal for the concerns of our times. Andy Barber January ‘17 .

Kirklees Council, Highway Operations Group Engineer (Honley Depot, Huddersfield and Headlands Depot, Liversedge)
Kirklees Council, Highway Operations Group Engineer (Honley depot, Huddersfield and Headlands depot, Liversedge) Kirklees Council and Highways Service has retained its own in house service delivery team over many decades. Its service delivery role is not just about highway construction but also delivering a severe weather response (eg. winter maintenance, flooding) and dealing with emergencies. Highway construction work ranges from reactive (eg. pothole repairs, paving repairs, street lighting faults, gully emptying) to larger schemes delivering the Highways Capital Plan and supporting the Council’s many ambitions, especially the Huddersfield and Dewsbury Blueprints. Highway Operations is also supporting the West Yorkshire Combined Authority in delivering transportation projects to deliver its Transport Strategy. Highway Operations is based at two operational depots – one near Honley in south east Kirklees and one near Liversedge in north east Kirklees. It comprises about 130 employees – approximately 100 site skilled employees, 30 engineers and business support officers. The turnover in Highway Operations across all its functions is about £20 million per year. It remains as a ‘traded service’ with the Council so needs to ‘balance its books’, matching costs and income. A Group Engineer manages each operational depot with an Operational Manager for Highway Operations who reports to Head of Highways. Highway Operations, (within and) together with Highways Service has a massive transformational agenda. The role is crucial in the leadership and management of a depot environment with a large male dominated front line workforce. Your people skills, emotional intelligence, patience, understanding and empathy are paramount including the handling of mental health issues. Your decision making skills must be strong, firm and also reflective.

Thomas Taylor, of Brighouse (C. 1621-1684)
of QBriglJouee, co, Q)orft, Thomas Taylor, of Brighouse (c. 1621-1684) was formerly, we understand, one of Cromwell's Ironside Captains, but changed his profession of carnal to spiritual warfare, and cast in his lot with the then des pised Quaker community, as early as 1654. This Thomas Taylor must not, however, be confused with his more celebrated namesake, Thomas Taylor (1616-1681), a puritan clergyman at Skipton and Richmond, and later the distinguished Quaker Minister who, after a dedicated life in the service of the gospel, and in which he underwent much suffering for his religious principles, died at Stafford in 1681, three years before the above-named Captain Taylor. In George Fox's Journal* we read that early in 1654 : Before I came to Synderhill Green, we passed through Halifax, a rude town of professors, and came to one Thomas Taylor' s, who had been a captain, where we met with some j anglers ; but the Lord's power was over all : for I travelled in the motion of God' s power. Again, the same year, after his visit to Synderhill Green, Holderness, etc : — Then I came to Thomas Taylor' s, within three miles of Halifax [at Brighouse, probably], where was a meeting of about two hundred people ; amongst which were many rude people, and divers butchers, several of whom had bound themselves with an oath before they came out, that they would kill me (as I was told) ; one of those butchers had been accused of killing a man and a woman. They came in a very rude manner, and made a great disturbance in the meeting.
