  • Trouble in Honley and Holmfirth
    10.5920/beerhouses.09 chapter 9 209 Trouble in Honley and Holmfirth THE INtroDUCTION OF the WRCC into the Upper Agbrigg district had been achieved with some difficulty but, after five years, there were encouraging signs that suggested that a modus vivendi was being established between the new police and the bulk of the population. Indeed, when, between the 24th of June and the 9th of July 1862, the men of the WRCC were inspected, it was the judgement of Lt. Col. J. Woodford, Her Majesty’s Inspector for the Northern District, and formerly Chief Constable of the Lancashire County Constabulary, that they had ‘been maintained in a highly satisfactory state of discipline and efficiency’.1 Regarding Upper Agbrigg, he was ‘satisfied with the state of the men, books and cells, everything being regular and satisfactory’.2 Such positive and reassuring statements must have appeared very strange to many local people as the police inspection coincided, almost exactly, with two major demonstrations of anti-police sentiment in Honley and Holmfirth, which revealed a widespread antipathy towards the police and certain police methods and cast important light on problems facing the ‘new’ police in the 1860s. On the 28th of June 1862 the Leeds Mercury carried a report under the eye-catching by-line: ‘Desperate Attack On The Police By A Mob Near Huddersfield’. The riot came out of the blue and was avidly covered by the local and regional press and even gained mention in the national press.3 The arrival of the ‘new’ police in Honley had been largely uncontroversial but matters changed with the transfer of PC Edward Antrobus to the village.

  • The Joint Benefice of High Hoyland, Scissett and Clayton West. Deanery of Kirkburton
    The Joint Benefice of High Hoyland, Scissett and Clayton West. Deanery of Kirkburton, Archdeaconry of Halifax. St. Augustine’s Church, Scissett. All Saints’ Church, Clayton West. 1 The Location The view from above Scissett, looking North. The Joint Benefice is comprised of three villages – High Hoyland, Scissett and Clayton West. All villages adjoin each other; two are located alongside the A636 main road which runs along the Upper Dearne Valley between Wakefield and Denby Dale and onwards to Holmfirth. High Hoyland is a long established village, now a small farming and residential community, set on top of the hill looking over towards Barnsley, reached by minor roads. As the industrial revolution gripped the area, Clayton West and Scissett became industrialised with the arrival of textile mills and coal mines. While the coal mining has gone, the farming and industry remain. Housing ranges from 18th century farms, 19th century terraces, through to modern housing estates, the building of which is still ongoing in the area as the villages become increasingly popular amongst commuters to Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester. The transport links are particularly good, being less than ten minutes’ drive to the M1 motorway, and also having good bus services to Wakefield, Huddersfield and Holmfirth. Trains are available from Denby Dale, linking into the trans-pennine network. Many amenities exist within the villages, including a petrol station and MOT station, post office and mail delivery depot, small supermarket, village stores, hair salons and a number of other small businesses. A few small industrial estates and factories also provide employment in the villages.
