Brighouse Newseum Issue 10 – September 2020 BRIGHOUSE & DISTRICT Heritage Newseum Issue 10 Autumn 2020 Edited and Published by Chris Helme Superintendents come and go in the police service; they make an impact on the policing of the town for a few years and then someone else would come and it would start all over again. In 1992, Brighouse was in for a surprise the new Superintendent was from Hong Kong, Superintendent Henrique Koo. It is now 28 years since he walked into the police station at Brighouse, completed his six month secondment and then left. In 2014, I managed to catch-up with him in Leeds. We managed to chat for an hour about his visit to Brighouse all those years ago. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay in the town and he tried to meet as many of the local people as possible. He was encouraged by the dedication and conscientiousness of the Brighouse personnel. Whilst the law was very similar to that of Hong Kong, the lifestyle was completely different. He retired from the police service in 2010 and now spends most of his time travelling and spending a couple of months during the summer visiting his family. He is also a part-time university lecturer, which, he pointed out, is voluntary. This allows him the choice of whether he is available, or will be travelling the world a passion he has now that he has more time. The situation in Hong Kong has now changed significantly since our meeting in 2014. © Christopher D.

Frontispiece: Walking along the canal towpath these days, it is difficult to remember how bad it was underfoot before the canal-side walk was completed 29 years ago. It was HRH Prince Charles who unveiled the plaque, which was set in a large piece of local stone, on June 12, 1991. Standing in front of the stone next to Prince Charles is Roy Feather, who joined the Calderdale Inheritance Project and the Build a Better Brighouse (3Bs) and was instrumental in bringing almost £250,000 funding into the canal-side walk scheme.

Plans are ‘sound’ if they are: - Positively Prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs; and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; - Justified – an appropriate strategy, taking into account the reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; - Effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic matters that have been dealt with rather than deferred, as evidenced by the statement of common ground; and - Consistent with national policy – enabling the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with policies in this Framework. 1.2 Johnson Mowat make the following comments in relation to a number of Draft Policies in the Publication Draft and to the rejection of site LP1109, Northedge Lane, Hipperholme, Brighouse on behalf of Highstone Homes, who have in interest in the site.

  • The Washington Family of Lightcliffe
    The Washington family of Lightcliffe There are eleven Washington names in the parish burial records for St.Matthew’s church, Lightcliffe and all eleven were related, and then there are the Cordingley in laws. You can look them all up via the Burial Search on our website where there are also transcriptions of the memorial inscriptions. We have photographs of some of the gravestones such as these Washington ledger stones in the old part of the churchyard by the western wall. The most noteworthy member of the family was Samuel Washington. His claim to fame was because he was land agent to the Walker family of Crow Nest and then land agent / steward for Anne Lister at nearby Shibden Hall. He was also recorded as a “schoolmaster and land surveyor” in 1822. He seems to have lived in Lightcliffe most, if not all, of his life. The previous steward to the Lister family of Shibden Hall had been James Briggs. But he became seriously ill in the summer of 1832 as recorded in Anne Lister’s diary. 1 Friday 29th June 1832 Called & inquired after my steward, Mr James Briggs – 10 minutes there with his poor wife who was in tears – had given up all hope of him. Thursday 26th July 1832 Said enough this evening to give Washington good hope of being my steward, should anything happen to Briggs. Wednesday 15th August 1832 Went to meet Washington at the brook where he had set out the new cutting …. filling up old line [of brook] Monday 17th September 1832 Marginalia: my steward, Mr James Briggs, died about 10 this evening of dropsy, having been severely ill & confined chiefly to his room since about the middle of June last, leaving his widow & 1 unmarried daughter slenderly provided for.

  • James Hinscliff
    JAMES HINSCLIFF I cannot find any evidence of Hinscliffs/Hinchcliffes in the Hipperholme area before the marriage of James’s parents, John Hinscliff and Alice Medley, on 10th February 1765 at St John’s Church, Halifax. They both signed the register, John signing Hinscliff although his name had been entered as Hinchcliffe. He was a blacksmith, and both were “of Hipperholme”. There is a probable baptism for Alice on 3rd April 1744 at St John’s Church, Coley, daughter of Susan Medley of Hipperholme. Susan/Susannah was possibly the daughter of John Medley, and had been baptised on 11th March 1715 at St Matthew’s Church, Lightcliffe. A John Medley and Mary Pearson, both of Lightcliffe, had married at Halfax on 4th February 1707, but I cannot say these are her parents with any certainty. In the West Yorkshire Select Land and Tax Records (Ancestry) John is recorded as a tenant of both John and William Walker during the years 1784 to at least 1810, when he also had property of his own with a tenant. In 1803/4 the tenancy was for “pits”. The Leeds Mercury of 14th February 1818 reported that the London Gazette’s list of Bankrupts included John Hinscliffe of Lightcliffe, who was to attend at the Coopers Arms, Halifax on February 24th and March 24th, presumably for a hearing. John died on 8th February 1821, aged 74years, and Alice on 12th February 1823, aged 79 years and both were buried at Lightcliffe, where their gravestone has been uncovered. John and Alice had six children all baptised at St Matthew’s Church:- Thomas, baptised 21st January 1716, no further information but may have been at home in 1801 (1801 Heads of Household census) Ann, baptised 1st May 1768, had a daughter Mary who was buried in November 1786, aged about 8 months.

These concerns were also raised by others. A new multi-modal model has been commissioned by West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) to assist with the planning of major new transport improvements, but has not as yet been made available, and CMBC continue to rely on the flawed CSTM work.

HORSFALL TURNER, F.R.H.S. , IDEL, BRADFORD. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ILLUSTRATIONS . INCORPORATION . MEMORIAL. PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY THOMAS HARRISON AND SONS, BINGLEY, YORKS . 1893 . Introduction . HERE is little need for a native , though more than half hi s lifetime up to the present ha s been spent outside the dis- trict, to apologise for the pub- lication, however crudely the work may be done, of the history of the old haunts of childhood, especially as n o such record has hitherto been attempted. True patriotis m takes its rise from a love fo r the old homesteads, and fro m the touch of affinity engen- dered by a study of family al- liances and human character. Heredity has much to do with religious bias also, and if th e socialism of the future has to be true humanitarianism our sympathies and interests must be broadened, and selfishness curbed almost to eradication. There are in these pages, the writer believes, texts sufficient for those who will search for them, to convince both rich and poor that happiness and goodness are in - separable. My object has been to crowd as much information as possible into the available space, or many moral deductions migh t have been added . For instance, a footnote to the name of Alfieri, p. 252, ought to have been given, for no better sermon to young me n can be preached than the warnings from the life of the great Italia n dramatist,—a morbid, wasted life, as contrasted with Lord Ligonier' s magnanimity.

  • United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress 2016 2 / United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress
    1 / United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress 2016 2 / United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) was launched in 2000 to harness the power of collective action in the promotion of responsible corporate citizenship. The Compact is a framework for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with the ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. As the world’s largest global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact is concerned with demonstrating and building the social legitimacy of business and markets. Marshalls plc became a signatory of the UNGC in January 2009 and a member of the UK Network later the same year. The UN Global Compact aims to mobilize a global movement of sustainable companies and stakeholders to create the world we want. To realise this vision, the UN Global Compact supports companies to: 1 Do business responsibly by aligning their strategies and operations with Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption; and 2 Take strategic actions to advance broader societal goals, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation. The UNGC is not a regulatory instrument, but rather a voluntary initiative that relies on public accountability, transparency and disclosure to complement regulation and to provide a space for innovation and collective action. This is the Company’s eighth Communication on Progress and outlines how Marshalls is aligned with the ten principles and how, throughout 2017, the plc intends to develop its activities in support of the framework laid out by the UNGC.
