This took place on the 25th September, three days after our Annual General Meeting. The launch was combined with a day school on “Mapping the Past” which was held under the auspices of the South Pennine History Forum, a group of local history societies from across the South Pennines. Much of our efforts since the launch have been directed towards promoting sales of the book and during the year we have held several exhibitions and book-signing events. The production of the book has been a monumental task for the Society and I would like to pay tribute to all the hard work that went into it by the publications committee. But all the effort has been worth it; the book is a wonderful production which enhances our reputation as a local historical society.

  • The Manchester Ship Canal and Salford Quays
    The Manchester Ship Canal and Salford Quays By Heather Webb, BSc (Hons) MSc, Senior Aquatic Scientist, APEM Limited. Manchester Ship Canal History The Manchester Ship Canal (MSC) was opened in 1894 and at the time, was the largest navigation in the world. The Canal is 58 km long, linking Eastham on the Mersey Estuary to Manchester, terminating upstream at the four docks in Salford (formerly known as Manchester Docks) and four smaller docks at Pomona (1 km upstream). The docks prospered and became one of Britain’s largest ports, reaching a peak in the 1950’s. During the second half of the twentieth century, however, containerisation and changing world trade patterns led to the demise of the docks and they were closed in 1984 leaving an abandoned 60 ha site including a polluted water course. Legacy Problems The industrial history associated with the Mersey Basin, Excessive bubbling encompassing the Rivers Mersey and Irwell and the MSC, left a legacy of poor water quality and sediment contamination. The MSC was one of the most severely polluted waterways in the UK with a one hundred year legacy of industrial, agricultural and sewage pollution. Water quality was very poor, being characterised by low Sediment rafts water column dissolved oxygen, high levels of suspended organic material and elevated nutrient concentrations. There was also excessive gas production from the anoxic sediments which produced foul odours and lifted mats of sediment to the surface, both of which acted as a serious deterrent to waterside development. The structure of the MSC (deep, slow flowing and with steep vertical sides) further exacerbated the water quality problems.

  • Walk the Way in a Day Walk 44 Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge
    Walk the Way in a Day Walk 44 Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge A long walk following the Pennine Way through a 1965 - 2015 landscape of rugged charm, with moorland paths running along Millstone Grit scarps. The return route follows tracks and lanes through the Saddleworth area, with its scatter of reservoirs, functional villages and untidy farmsteads. Length: 17½ miles (28 kilometres) Ascent: 2,704 feet (825 metres) Highest Point: 472 metres (1,549 feet) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Maps 1 (‘The Peak District - Dark Peak’) (West Sheet) and 21 (‘South Pennines’) (South Sheet) Starting Point: Standedge parking area, Saddleworth (SE 019 095) Facilities: Inn nearby. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-44-millstone-edge-and-blackstone-edge Millstone Edge The starting point is located at the west end of the Standedge Cutting on the A62. The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way north-west along Millstone Edge for 3¼ miles (5¼ kilometres). Crossing straight over the busy main road, a finger sign points along a hardcore track. Soon another sign marks a right turn over a fence stile, joining a path running along the edge of the moorland plateau towards an OS pillar (1 = SE 012 104). Standedge Standedge has long been an important transportation route. Since 1811, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal has run through a tunnel beneath the Pennine ridge, connecting Marsden in the Colne Walk 44: Millstone Edge and Blackstone Edge page 1 Valley and Diggle in Saddleworth. This was joined in 1849 by a direction, crossing a mossy area (Green Hole Hill) as it swings around to railway tunnel, which at around 3 miles (5 kilometres) was then head north-north-west, following the broad ridge down towards the A672.
