It was agreed that issue of the lack of communication would be addressed by Highways England (HE). The Chair stated that if there had been earlier consultation with the Parish Council then perhaps some of the issues raised could have been taken into account before work commenced. It was agreed that HE would supply details of future works planned on this section of the A628 together with costs. Safety issues regarding the planned work to reduce the number of road lanes were raised since this has the potential to create a backlog of traffic at the Dog & Partridge, while the installation of “splitter islands” has raised serious concerns for walkers using them.

  • Ackworth Old Scholars' Association
    Ackworth Old Scholars’ Association One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Annual Report 2016 THIS YEAR’S PRESIDENT - NICHOLAS SEED Nick was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in May 1954 to Quaker parents Mary and John Seed. Mary (née Cordingly), having been at Ackworth herself (1936-1942), had always hoped to be able to send her children there also. So it was a very proud day for them both when Nick, the eldest of 6 children, started at Ackworth in September 1965. Nick enjoyed his 6 years at Ackworth. His particular interests were swimming, natural history and model aircraft making. He was the swimming team captain and enjoyed hockey. Whilst at Ackworth, Nick was joined by two of his sisters, where he saw part of his job as older brother to help settle them in to school life. Nick left Ackworth in 1971 and became involved with the Ackworth Old Scholars Association; he attends the Easter Gathering on a regular basis. Unsure of which career path to follow, Nick saw an advert in ‘The Friend’ that led him to start work as a House Father at the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby. Settling in Derby, Nick began a life long career in the National Health Service; he began as a psychiatric nurse and progressed through general nursing to become a senior nurse. He then moved into management, managing the surgical directorate for 12 years and finished his career in 2014 responsible for the commissioning of a new super hospital in Derby. One of Nick’s favourite holiday destinations is St David’s in Pembrokeshire, where he met Debbi who was to become his wife in 1979.

  • Penistone Boundary Walk
    PENISTONE BOUNDARY WALK The following text has been copied directly from the original Penistone Boundary Walk leaflet published several years ago, now sadly out of print. Although accurate when written, please bear in mind that the landscape constantly changes and some descriptions may differ slightly from the current lay of the land. The map that is included at the end is the one that was originally drawn for the leaflet; the Google maps version which can be seen on the Visit Penistone website, though not strictly accurate, will help to clarify landmarks. A Brief History Penistone is a very historic market town with settlements dating back as far as the eighth century. The town became centred around the parish church of St. John which began its life in the 12th century. The church has grown and been added to many times over the centuries, and was the birth place of Penistone Grammar School in 1392 which is one of the oldest educational establishments in the country. Penistone and its surrounding moorlands are ideal for rearing sheep, and at that time it even had its own breed known as the ‘Penistone’ sheep which was particularly hardy to withstand the severe winters. Both the ram and the ewe were horned and it is from this ancient breed that the logo for the Penistone Boundary Walk has been taken. Parish boundaries were very important, and marked the limits of land ownership. Nowadays these can be easily found from maps, but before, it was necessary for everyone to know where these boundaries were in case of dispute.
