Many residents may have seen the work recently undertaken at<br />

the historic mill chimney at Black Pits. The chimney is one of<br />

the last remaining mill chimneys in <strong>Norden</strong> and there has been<br />

long standing battle with developers to carry out the restoration<br />

work. On page 65 Councillor Peter Winkler updates us on the<br />

project which we are delighted to announce has now been<br />

completed.<br />

We hope you enjoy this issue and please get in touch if you have<br />

any comments or feedback for us.<br />

Until next month…….<br />

This month Gary Heywood- Everett has written another<br />

fascinating article which focuses on when the Sequah Medicine<br />

Show came to Rochdale in the early 1890’s.<br />

TINNITUS<br />

If you suffer with a ringing, buzzing or humming sensation in the absence of an external sound source then you<br />

may be experiencing Tinnitus.<br />

It is a very common sensation, and approximately 30% of people will experience tinnitus at some point, BUT there are a small<br />

number of people who experience more persistent and troublesome tinnitus who should seek help to alleviate it.<br />

During 6-12 <strong>Feb</strong>ruary <strong>2017</strong>,The British Tinnitus Association (www.tinnitus.org.uk) and other services across the UK will be<br />

holding a Tinnitus Awareness Week.<br />

As Tinnitus is common for people with hearing loss and other ear problems it is often recommended to see your GP initially and<br />

talk about the condition. Your GP may then refer you on to a specialist either in the NHS or in the Private sector, such as myself.<br />

As a Specialist Hearing Therapist, I have helped many people who have troublesome tinnitus and work with local ENT specialists.<br />

Each individual who experiences troublesome tinnitus must have a comprehensive Tinnitus Assessment appointment, which will<br />

include diagnostic tests, information counselling and if required the recommendation of options such as sound therapy or sound<br />

enrichment treatment.<br />

During the week of 6-12 <strong>Feb</strong>ruary we are offering a short tinnitus information session. To book your session please email<br />

(chippendalehearing@hotmail.co.uk), text or telephone Chippendale Hearing Services (mobile 07900 466806) quoting<br />

Tinnitus Awareness Week Offer.<br />

Alternatively you can book an Initial Tinnitus Assessment appointment (approx. 1hour appointment slot) either as a self-referral<br />

or via private health insurance.<br />

From the<br />

archives<br />

From the archives -<br />

When the Sequah Medicine Show<br />

came to Rochdale<br />

The Cattle Market used to be a cobbled open space where the current Police Station now stands.<br />

It was the venue for a series of performances in the early 1890’s which must have both puzzled<br />

and amazed the good folk of Rochdale.<br />

Imagine this. Through the streets of the town comes a large painted waggon or golden chariot pulled by a<br />

team of horses. Behind it, a group of whooping characters dressed as cowboys and Indians and behind them<br />

a brass band in full wild west outfits playing marching music. Driving the chariot was a man in a long tasselled<br />

buckskin coat and Stetson hat. A stage is set up at the Cattle Market over which the word ‘SEQUAH’ is<br />

emblazoned and a fairground steam organ would be playing to draw the crowds. After the procession, the<br />

frontiersman calling himself the Great Sequah, climbs onto the stage and putting himself forward as a medical<br />

practitioner, claims to represent The Yankee Company and begins to sing the praises of a rheumatic cure to<br />

the milling hundreds who have followed the procession.<br />

After some entertainment, the crowd would be asked if there<br />

was anyone there in need of a cure. Of course a number of<br />

troubled souls came forward and – whilst the band played<br />

‘forte’ at the side – one by one they were ‘rubbed’ with<br />

Sequah Oil. According to eye witnesses (recalling the event<br />

in the Rochdale Observer in 1928) the infirm would<br />

suddenly spring around the stage, dance a jig with the<br />

Great Sequah and run off into the crowd, cured. Of course<br />

this led to much selling of the purported cure, either there<br />

or at local chemist shops which had been primed with<br />

the ‘cure.’<br />

Of course there have been many medicine shows, quack<br />

doctors or snake-oil salesmen, but Sequah seems to have been a popular and regular<br />

visitor to Rochdale. In fact, the Sequah Medicine Company had begun as early as 1887 and its ‘patent<br />

medicines’ eventually sold across Britain, Ireland, the West Indies and South Africa.There seems to have been<br />

some dispute as to who the showman was who visited Rochdale. Some said that his name was Hannaway<br />

Roye from Huddersfield, others that he was William Henry Hartley who sold his Sequah Prairie Flower and<br />

Sequah Oil. William Hartley, from Silsden in West Yorkshire certainly seems to have been the original ‘Great<br />

Sequah’ but due to its popularity, many ‘Sequahs’<br />

toured the country – up to 23 shows at any one<br />

time - and it is likely that a Lancashire Sequa<br />

landed in Rochdale, drawing thousands of<br />

customers who paid hundreds of pounds a day to<br />

be rid of their infirmities.<br />

Sequa would also appear at the Old Circus (later<br />

the Hippodrome) in the town, offering to pull teeth<br />

from the aching mouths of audiences. This would<br />

be done for free, the archives recording that 7 or<br />

8 would come forward and – again the band<br />

playing loudly to hide the cries of suffering –<br />

teeth would be extracted with little apparent pain<br />

being shown, the Great Sequah brandishing<br />

huge forceps and – bizarrely – wearing a<br />

lightbulb on his forehead ! The finale was<br />

usually a man with a particularly swollen face<br />

having a tooth pulled and the extraction held<br />

aloft over a cheering crowd.<br />

Such medicine shows drew the vulnerable to<br />

part with their hard-earned money until the<br />

British government declared such activities<br />

illegalin the late 1890’s. William Hartley<br />

died a bankrupt in 1924 but before that, by<br />

the turn of the century, Sequah as a<br />

company had gone into liquidation and was<br />

seen no more on the streets of Rochdale, or<br />

any other, town.<br />

ASHWORTH VALLEY<br />

BIG CLEAN UP<br />

The BIG CLEAN UP got underway shortly after 10.00<br />

am with volunteers starting to arrive on mass through<br />

the fog all geared up and ready to go and they<br />

continued to arrive..and arrive...and arrive.<br />

We had just under 80 volunteers in all!<br />

They were all fired up with a continuous<br />

supply of bacon and egg butties, teas<br />

and coffee, the task began in earnest<br />

to retrieve the tyres up a steep<br />

embankment to Ashworth Road. The<br />

human chain of volunteers retrieved 5<br />

farm trailer loads, we had estimated<br />

200 tyres, we ended up with well in<br />

excess with nearer the 700 mark!!<br />

Having cleared up this site, several<br />

dedicated volunteers went beyond<br />

the call of duty in following Paul<br />

Ellison and John Roberts lead and<br />

went on to clear a second site which<br />

they had begun to clear up at<br />

Splash Corner/Black Dad Lane.<br />

This site was horrendous with a mix<br />

of tyres, fridge freezers and<br />

household rubbish. They had to<br />

use ropes and brute force to drag<br />

debris to the top.<br />

We cannot get over the sense of<br />

community spirit, comradery with<br />

volunteers coming from far and<br />

wide with so many people gave<br />

their time and effort and what an<br />

achievement. Thank you one and<br />

all.<br />

Restoration of<br />

Chimney at Black Pits<br />

Many residents will be delighted to have seen<br />

work being undertaken recently at the historic<br />

mill chimney at Black Pits. Although the signs<br />

read ‘demolition’ this was somewhat misleading<br />

as professional steeplejacks were actually working<br />

to restore this local landmark.<br />

The chimney, which is one of the last remaining mill chimneys in<br />

<strong>Norden</strong>, has been the subject of an ongoing battle with developers<br />

who, after having agreed to carry out restoration works as part of<br />

the housing development at the old Dexine site, had stalled the<br />

project.<br />

Councillor Peter Winkler said: “Getting works done without<br />

significant loss of the chimney’s height has been a hard and long-fought battle<br />

with the developers. Lots of local people have expressed their concern that this<br />

local landmark could be lost if work to restore it were not completed in a<br />

timely manner. We have had to use every effort to get this outcome, from<br />

social media to letters to Westminster, but I am delighted that, through our<br />

continued commitment and ongoing discussions with the planning officers<br />

and the developers, work has now been undertaken. The best news is that<br />

this has not been done at the expense of residents or the taxpayer as the<br />

work has, quite rightly been funded by the developers.”<br />

“Some residents had concerns about this being a dangerous structure,<br />

though that has never been the case. We have always taken every care to ensure that this<br />

never posed a risk to anyone living underneath. Whilst we have been pursuing restoration<br />

works the Council’s building control experts have been out to assess the chimneys<br />

stability.”<br />

A full independent report carried out by professional steeplejacks said that the structure was<br />

stable but works were advised. It identified that cap stones which sat at the top of the<br />

chimney were best removed as they were too damaged to be repaired. The good news is that<br />

only a limited amount of brickwork had to be removed before a new cap could be installed.<br />

Following repairs to damaged brickwork, removal of the vegetation which had self-seeded in<br />

the brick joints, and a general clean the chimney is now safe for future generations.<br />

Peter added: “Whilst some fail to see the importance of the chimney I know so many people<br />

who have told me how happy they are to see it being brought back to it’s former glory. This is<br />

a part of our heritage. Some of the bricks that were removed have been salvaged and it is my intention that these be used as<br />

part of an information point which will give people an insight into why this is such a significant landmark to our village’s history.”<br />

UPDATE: Greater Manchester<br />

Spatial Framework.<br />

Proposal to build 750 executive<br />

houses on land off <strong>Norden</strong> Road.<br />

Since the Public Meeting at <strong>Bamford</strong> Chapel on 21st November, an Action Committee was<br />

formed under the chairmanship of Angela Smith. A lot of hard work has been undertaken to<br />

raise awareness by distributing 1000s of leaflets across the community, and producing a 40<br />

page report that will be submitted to the Greater Manchester Combined Authorities before the<br />

deadline of 16th of January, lodging our opposition against the Spatial Framework’s plans to<br />

develop on our Green Belt.<br />

Funds have been raised through the community to instruct a Specialist<br />

Planning Barrister, to provide guidance and support with the submission; they<br />

have recommended attaching as many supporting signatories as possible to<br />

strengthen our case. This can be done through our Facebook page 'Save<br />

<strong>Bamford</strong> Green Belt' survey and by sending an e mail to<br />

savebamfordgreenbelt@outlook.com. This has been very successful,<br />

collecting in excess of 1,500 details so far.<br />

<strong>Bamford</strong> is a backwater and transport connections to Manchester or the<br />

Motorway are at least 3 miles by road. <strong>Norden</strong> Road is an unclassed<br />

road and connects with a B Class road at Bury & Rochdale Old Road.<br />

These roads are extremely congested at peak times. Over the last 40<br />

66<br />

years there has been extensive house building, across <strong>Norden</strong> and <strong>Bamford</strong><br />

and during this time the road infrastructure has not been upgraded. The Spatial Framework is a 20 year<br />

plan and further house building would require significant upgrades to be made to the road network, which<br />

potentially could involve the widening of <strong>Norden</strong> Road or worse.<br />

The site in question has 10 football<br />

pitches which are used by over 700<br />

children every week FROM Bridge FC, for<br />

football coaching and league matches.<br />

The site also houses <strong>Bamford</strong> Fieldhouse<br />

Cricket Club and Rochdale Tennis Club. This<br />

is <strong>Bamford</strong>’s only green space that is<br />

accessible to the public, due to the many<br />

public rights of way that criss-cross the site.<br />

<strong>Norden</strong> has Jubilee Park, Heritage Green and<br />

Hutchinson Road Recreation Park, Spotland<br />

has Denehurst Park. <strong>Bamford</strong> will have nothing if this site is used for housing.<br />

On Saturday 7th January at 10:30am a<br />

protest ramble took place, starting at <strong>Bamford</strong><br />

Village Green and finished at <strong>Bamford</strong> Chapel<br />

where the campaigners were served<br />

refreshments and were able to receive updates.<br />

Residents, supporters, local councillors, and the children and parents from Bridge FC came out in their<br />

masses, to support the campaign to protect our Green Belt site. The event was extremely successful and was<br />

attended by nearly 1,000 people.<br />

Chairman Paul Ellison applied for funding on behalf of the Friends of <strong>Norden</strong><br />

Jubilee Park, through Rochdale Council Township Clean and Green Priority<br />

Committee.<br />

Mr Ellison said: "I would like to thank Councillor Jim Gartside for helping to part fund this<br />

project, through giving from his own <strong>Norden</strong> ward fund and Nigel Morrell, Chairman of<br />

Rochdale Township in Bloom for assisting in the funding process. Now we have a great<br />

heritage notice board as a focal point for <strong>Norden</strong> village and <strong>Norden</strong> Jubilee Park, as well<br />

as the park being the start point for the Rochdale Township in Bloom competition. The<br />

notice board will enable the local community and visitors to the area to have a better<br />

Crispy Haggis Fritters with a Neep and Tattie Salad<br />

Natural Heritage And Built Heritage<br />

- A Village Under Pressure.<br />

The start of a new year often leads to a reassessment of many aspects of life. In the case of<br />

<strong>Norden</strong> , should this include a new appraisal of the threats to our unique environment?<br />

Much of the character of our Village is derived from the natural environment;the rivers,moorland and green spaces<br />

which are part of our Pennine surroundings. The natural environment is complimented and enhanced by a rich built<br />

heritage , much of which has it`s roots the Industrial Revolution and Victorian enterprise. These key aspects combine<br />

to make an important contribution to the elements which make <strong>Norden</strong> a special place to live. As a new year begins<br />

,it is hard to ignore the threats and challenges to these elements of our area-they are many and diverse.<br />

The Boxing Day floods of 2015 caused considerable damage to rivers and water courses throughout the region,much<br />

of which remains unremediated and therefore a risk if the deluge is repeated.It remains to be seen what actions<br />

government agencies will take in <strong>2017</strong> to rectify matters.<br />

Questions remain over the expansion of Scout Moor Wind Farm , following the Public Inquiry . Are there really "very<br />

special circumstances" associated with this vast industrial installation which should allow a massive commercial<br />

concern to drive a coach and horses through the usual protections given to Green Belt? Will this open the floodgates<br />

of "very special circumstances" all over the area?(there has , after all been a proliferation of singleton wind turbine<br />

springing up all over our ward since the original wind farm gained approval).<br />

The proposal contained in the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework Report to put 600+ houses on a prime green<br />

space in <strong>Bamford</strong>,whilst destroying important sports facilities which have taken decades to develop surely requires as<br />

many residents as possible to support and join this important <strong>Bamford</strong> campaign? This scheme will undoubtedly<br />

have a seismic impact on <strong>Norden</strong> and other neighbouring wards, so please look carefully at the article elsewhere in<br />

Streetwise and have your say.<br />

In spite of the exceptional efforts of residents,our ward Councillors and dedicated Council Officers,the epidemic of<br />

illegal and dangerous fly tipping in Ashworth Valley continues largely unabated. This behaviour is not only destroying<br />

the enjoyment of this special area for residents and visitors alike,it also carries with it a serious risk of accident and<br />

injury if left unchecked.<br />

The relentless pace of expansion of our Village over the last 25years has created a situation where key parts of our<br />

built heritage have been sacrificed to the ambition of developers; if this trend continues,the risk is that <strong>Norden</strong> will<br />

become a featureless redbrick commuter village like so many up and down the Country. It is therefore encouraging to<br />

report that efforts of one of our Councillors (Peter Winkler) reflecting the views of many residents, and a sympathetic<br />

developer have insured the future of Black Pitts Chimney. Recent works on this structure means that this key<br />

landmark will be preserved .<br />

A Real Community Partnership<br />

Husband and wife team, Cllr Surinder and Cecile Biant, presented Springhill Hospice’s Director of Clinical<br />

Services, Sheila Johnson, with a very generous gift this Christmas, in the form of a cheque for £10,000,<br />

raised in their roles of Mayor and Mayoress of Rochdale 2015-2016. The Councillors, who represent<br />

Spotland and Falinge, along with Tracie Powers, a volunteer from Vintage Worx at Falinge Park who acted<br />

as Chair of the Mayor’s Charity Committee, visited the Broad Lane palliative care centre. Sheila learnt of<br />

their efforts in raising money for not just Springhill Hospice but also other charities including Petrus, the<br />

Deaf Children’s Society and Shopmobility.<br />

“We all thoroughly enjoyed fundraising for such deserving<br />

causes, especially as we put on such a large variety of events.<br />

The committee took on everything from home baking to<br />

ballroom dancing competitions, attended a spectacular<br />

fundraising dinner organised by the Council of Mosques and<br />

arranged our night of glamour at the Town Hall in the form of<br />

The Mayors Ball” said former Mayor, Cllr Biant.<br />

Tracie Powers, Chair of the Mayor’s Charity Committee added “It<br />

was great fun and an honour. I learnt a lot throughout the year<br />

and am looking forward to putting my experiences to good use<br />

Sheila Johnson (Director of Clinical Services, Springhill<br />

Hospice) Cllr Surinder Biant, Cllr Cecile Biant and Tracie<br />

Powers (Chair of Cllr Biant’s Charity Committee in his Mayoral<br />

Year 2015-2016 and volunteer at Vintage Worx, Falinge Park)<br />

Cllr Cecile Biant, Sheila Johnson, Cllr Surinder Biant and Tracie<br />

Powers<br />

in Falinge at Vintage Worx”.<br />

All in all the team raised an astonishing £43,000, with an<br />

terrific £16,000 being raised at the Council of Mosques’ dinner<br />

alone.<br />

“It’s been a great experience all round, from our first meeting<br />

when everyone was throwing ideas into the pot, to seeing the<br />

final events and being able to make a difference to groups in<br />

the community who need it most” said former Mayoress Cecile,<br />

who added, “It’s hard work but very rewarding”, with the<br />

former Mayor, Surinder adding “I want to put on record our<br />

gratitude to my superb Charity Committee, especially Dorothy<br />

Johnstone and her team at the Town Hall”<br />

On receiving the £10,000 donation, Sheila Johnson said<br />

“We’re very privileged to receive such outstanding support from<br />

the community we serve, the team here are so very grateful to<br />

have been chosen as one of the charities that Cllr Biant<br />

supported in his year as Mayor of Rochdale, especially when<br />

there are so many other organisation in our Borough that could<br />

also put the money to good use”<br />

CUT YOUR<br />

ELECTRICITY BILLS<br />

AND GET PAID FOR<br />

THE ELECTRICITY<br />

YOU GENERATE!<br />

Established over 25 years ago Electronica<br />

Systems are renewable energy specialists<br />

and amongst the market leaders, providing<br />

bespoke services to both the domestic and<br />

commercial markets.<br />

All the products that we supply are high<br />

efficiency providing significant environmental<br />

and economical benefits to the property<br />

owner.<br />

Our Solar Panels are the best performing due<br />

to the fact that they are supplied credible,<br />

ethical and established companies.<br />

Solar PV panels are amongst the most effective<br />

and popular means of renewable energy<br />

generation available and due to their simplicity,<br />

durability and efficiency – are being installed in<br />

ever increasing volumes. Even on a cloudy day<br />

they can convert the light into substantial<br />

amounts of electricity which can be used in the<br />

home – or exported to the national grid if not<br />

used. Electricity exported to the grid is charted<br />

by an export meter which ensures that the<br />

home owner is paid for the power they sell.<br />

PV Solar panel systems are also a guaranteed<br />

means of income thanks to the Feed in Tariff<br />

Scheme which pays homeowners a set rate for<br />

every unit of electricity they produce (whether<br />

it is used or sold back to the grid).<br />

Solar PV Panels can also be installed on<br />

commercial and industrial premises. Depending<br />

upon the size and generation capabilities of<br />

the PV panels, a company can greatly reduce its<br />

energy costs whilst also generating<br />

supplementary revenue through the Feed in<br />

Tariff Scheme. In addition to the financial<br />

benefits, the installation of a solar PV system<br />

also helps the organization get a step closer to<br />

attaining carbon neutrality.<br />
