Denby and Cumberworth Denby and Cumberworth Ward Comprises a Number of Villages the Largest of Which Is Denby Dale Which Is of C Denby and Cumberworth Denby and Cumberworth ward comprises a number of villages the largest of which is Denby Dale which is of course famous for the world record pies baked to celebrate historical occasions. The 1964 pie- dish now provides a flower-bed outside the village Pie Hall; whilst the 1988 dish now houses a butterfly garden in the grounds of Gilthwaites First School. Denby Dale is also famous for the magnificent stone railway viaduct, spanning the valley of the river Dearne, was built in 1850 to replace an earlier wooden viaduct. The last working reminder of the village’s considerable textile heritage is Z. Hinchliffe’s Hartcliff Mill, still producing quality products after more than 150 years. Denby Dale railway station, on the wonderfully scenic Penistone Line, is served by trains from Huddersfield, Penistone, Barnsley and Sheffield. There are regular buses from Wakefield, Holmfirth and Barnsley making Denby Dale easily accessible for visitors wishing to explore the area. Denby Dale is a popular flourishing village with full facilities including a Post Office, library, bank, and small supermarket. Places to eat and drink The White Hart pub is in the centre of Denby Dale, with The Dunkirk Inn & Restaurant on the outskirts towards Lower Denby. The village has 3 Asian restaurants (Palace Tandoori; Maxis; & The Aagrah); cafes in Springfield Mill; fish and chip shop; plus a wide range of takeaways; sandwich shops; food and health-food shops ;a specialist butcher’s(excellent pies!) and baker’s; and a wine shop in Springfield Mill. Denby Dale Pie Co. manufactures quality pies in the village. Things to do and see Throughout the ward there are many opportunities for those who enjoy walking as the area is crossed by a large number of public footpaths linking all the villages. Denby Dale offers an excellent network of footpaths leading into beautiful countryside. 5 way-marked trails start or end in the village: 3 circular trails of varying length (The Denby Dale Village Trail; The Denby Dale Round Walk; The Denby and Cumberworth Circular) and 2 linear trails based on the railway line (The Denby Dale to Shepley Trail and The Pen-Den Trail). Leaflets describing these walks can be down-loaded at www.denbydale- walkersarewelcome.org.uk . In Upper Cumberworth the walk through the woods along the river Dearne (Ordnance Survey Grid Reference SE 210084) is well worth a visit in its own right, or as part of a longer trip along the Dearne Way. Springfield Mill, a former textile mill, now houses many retail units and cafes. The Denby Dale Centre, a local community organisation is located in the Mill and has a drop-in-café and charity shop. Denby Dale has a cricket club with a fine ground and pavilion; an adjacent bowling- green; a thriving running club; and a tennis club with 2 courts.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • Huddersfield (Town Centre and University) to Holmfirth (Town Centre)
    Holmfirth Transitional Town Proposed Cycle Route – Huddersfield (town centre and university) to Holmfirth (town centre). The proposal seeks to create, as far as possible, an off road cycle path between the town centres of Huddersfield and Holmfirth, together with link paths from other significant Holme Valley settlements, notably Honley, Brockholes, Netherthong, New Mill and Wooldale. In addition to these settlements there are a number of other significant workplace and school destinations linked to or on the proposed route, notably Thongsbridge, Armitage Bridge, Lockwood, Folly Hall, Kirklees College, and Honley and Holmfirth High Schools Where an off road path is not considered to be achievable, the proposed route utilises the road network, with appropriate amendments and improvements to create a safe cycling environment. The existing and proposed routes are described below in clearly identifiable sections. Existing routes include some off road paths which are usable and used currently for cycling, and which will become part of the complete route, subject to any necessary improvements. Where off road paths connect to the road network, and for on road elements of the route, improvements to create a safe cycling environment are proposed. The route sections 1. Huddersfield town centre, within the ring road 2. Ring Road to Lockwood 3. Lockwood to Berry Brow 4. Berry Brow to Honley 5. Honley to Thongsbridge 6. Thongsbridge to Holmfirth 1. Huddersfield town centre – within the ring road The town centre is generally regarded as a relatively safe cycling environment. Traffic levels have been reduced by the introduction of bus gates, and speeds are relatively low. Some cycling infrastructure has been provided and there are some signed routes and safe ring road crossings, however provision is piecemeal and further improvements are required.

Introduction Northgate House is a fine example of a country house built in the neo classical style of the Regency period and stands proudly surrounded by sweeping lawns and woodland. It provides a wealth of perfectly proportioned rooms leading off a central hallway with iron railed staircase. The square Georgian architecture is softened by curvaceous arches, moulded alcoves and a glass dome that allows the day to cascade down the staircase and fill the hall with natural light. Sumptuous bathrooms and some contemporary renovation, especially the airy, light, lofted library, have been introduced with such sympathy and cleanness of line that the historic elegance of the house has in no way been betrayed.
