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 Broadheath Canal Warehouse is Grade II listed. It has been allowed to deteriorate to the point where unless remedial action is taken it may become lost for ever. It is our heritage and if we want future generation to understand and be in touch their history, action is required. The Bridgewater Canal was the first contour canals built in the Britain necessitating not a single lock throughout its 39½ mile length. The initial length of the canal, Worsley to Castlefield, was opened in 1761 with permission to build the extension from Stretford to Broadheath allowing that section to open in 1767. The further extension through to Runcorn was opened in 1769 allowing the link up with the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook. The Duke of Bridgewater had been smart enough to also purchase the land at Broadheath where the turnpike road from Chester to Manchester would cross the canal. Here he established many wharfs along the canal bank to handle goods going into Manchester, principally vegetables from the new market gardens which sprang up around Broadheath. On the return journey the boats brought back coal from the Duke’s mines in Worsley which was used to heat local homes and power small industries. The wharfs at Broadheath handled timber, sand, slates, bricks, limestone to make mortar, raw cotton and flax, and finished good.

    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.

  • An Imaginary Walk Around Preston Brook in 1914

    An Imaginary Walk Around Preston Brook in 1914

    An Imaginary Walk Around Preston Brook in 1914 Preston Brook is an important point where goods in wide beam boats, from the Manchester and Runcorn direction, have to be transhipped into narrow boats if they are heading south through the Preston Brook Tunnel. Narrow beam boats coming north often do not need to tranship, but continue with their cargoes north or west along the wide canal. At the south end of Preston Brook, the Bridgewater Canal disappears into the Preston Brook Tunnel and changes to the Trent & Mersey Canal after a few yards. There is a cottage for the tunnel keeper situated over the top of the northern tunnel portal. Coming north, there are a number of cottages set above the canal occupied by canal and railway workers. There is a clear stretch of canal either side towards Cotton’s Bridge, before meeting the railway transhipment sheds (1) on the left, sitting between the canal and the railway mainline. A little further north on the east side of the canal, are Cotton’s Cottages. The old bridge was a little south of these. Sadly this turn bridge is long gone. Further on the same side is the North Staffordshire Warehouse, opposite the gauging dock (2) where the boats are ‘weighed’ and from which their toll is calculated. Between here and the road bridge on either side of the canal are various workers’ cottages and buildings, including stables for the horses. The Red Lion Hotel can also accommodate a good number of animals, and just before the bridge is the ticket office (3).
