Your FREE MAGAZINE for Kirkheaton, Upper Heaton, Gawthorpe, Bog Green, Briggate, Houses Hill, Wellhouse ISSUE 22 & Lascelles Hall NEWS AUTUMN 2018 Kirkheaton PO on the move! After over twenty five years as postmasters at Kirkheaton Post Office on St Mary’s Lane, Lynn and Michael Whitehouse are preparing to stick their last stamps, weigh their last parcels, close the PO and retire. Fortunately, Kirkheaton is not losing its PO. If all goes to plan it will relocate to the newsagents at the corner of Shop Lane and Town Road in the near future. However, this has caused some concern among residents as parking and pedestrian access are serious issues in the area. But on the plus side it will have two Bumper open counters and will be open for longer hours six and half days a week. Various other venues were considered but have issue! had to be discounted for varying reasons. NCS SUCCESS Michael became postmaster in April 1998 after a career as a mining surveyor. He commented “ When Margaret Thatcher THIRTY YEARS ON! closed down all the pits, my job disappeared, so I did what I always fancied doing - run a PO - which I’ve really enjoyed.” DALTON WARD During his 25 years at the job he has seen many changes. WEEKEND “Business has changed. At one time there were OAP’s queuing out of the door to collect their money on pension days. All that has gone now as pensions are paid directly into bank accounts. The government has also moved many of its services online so many people no longer renew their car tax or buy their TV licences etc at the PO. -

The Heptonstall Trail: an Ancient Village Explored Audio E- Trail Script
!"!"##$#"%&'($)'#*%"+,(-$.*% " ///01"##$#"2"($3-4"0'(4056" " ! THE HEPTONSTALL TRAIL: AN ANCIENT VILLAGE EXPLORED AUDIO E- TRAIL SCRIPT Stop 1: The Heptonstall Industrial Co-operative Society – once a thriving local business. “This large building was built in 1866, by the then newly formed Heptonstall Co-operative Industrial Society. Two years before, the Society had bought seven old cottages, demolished 6 of them, and built the present building. Just one of the old cottages remains - Stag Cottage - tucked away in the small fold to the left. The Heptonstall Co-op flourished during the 19th century, owning the farm behind, on which a car park now stands, as well as the row of tall houses above it, off Northgate - Co-operative Terrace. The Society went into liquidation in 1967 and the property was sold, since when it’s seen many changes. Facing the Co-op, walk down to the left hand side, in front of the Joinery, and there you’ll find, hidden away, Stag Cottage. This is probably the oldest surviving house in Heptonstall, built around 1580. The cottage has typically 16th century windows and elaborate arched lintels. Stag Cottage was so named because it is next to the former Stag Inn (now two cottages just above).” Stop 2: Heptonstall’s Inns – a long history of village hostelries. “In the early 1800’s there were 5 inns in Heptonstall, as well as beer shops, most of which were here on Towngate. This might seem a lot for a small village, but at that time this was a large settlement, an important focal point for traders and merchants. -

SOURCE Partnership Report Spring 2019 the SOURCE Is a Community Led Partnership That Has Been Active in the Upper Calder Valley Flooding Near Miss Since 2010
SOURCE Partnership Report Spring 2019 The SOURCE is a community led partnership that has been active in the Upper Calder Valley Flooding near miss since 2010. Hebden Bridge It includes on the ground practitioners as well as statutory authorities (Calderdale Council and the Environment Agency). Partners work co-operatively to minimise 16th March 2019 the risk of flash flooding, as well as controlling erosion, improving the quality of the River Calder, preserving and enhancing the biodiversity of the area, and undertaking educational activities so that people of all ages, and from all walks of life, become aware of the value of our rivers and uplands. Highlights of the past year include:- • The launch of the Council’s Natural Flood Management Grant Scheme. This was so well received by landowners that the grant pot was increased to £500k. Most of the 29 funded schemes are still in the planning phase, but when the work is complete they will provide approximately 21,000 m3 floodwater storage in attenuation ponds, nearly 10,000 newly planted trees, over a kilometre of hedgerow, 384 leaky dams, and 715 metres of fascines. • Work starting on the Gorpley Landscapes for Water Project, thanks to £600k Growth Deal funding from the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership, delivered by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, with match-funding and in-kind support from other partners including The Forestry Commission, Moors For The Future Partnership, the Environment Agency, Woodland Trust, Yorkshire Water, Calderdale Council, Slow The Flow Calderdale, Treesponsibility and other community groups. • Calderdale Council’s successful bid to Europe for the Calder Greening Project. -
