We are extremely excited to announce that we are now offering Russian Volume Lashes! 

Having completed training with the world renowned lash technician and Judge 

Loreta Jasilionyte, we are now offering this amazing treatment. We are one of the first 

salons in the area to offer genuine Volume lashes! 

What are Russian Volume Lashes? 

Whereas traditional Semi Permanent Lashes 

consist of 1 lash applied to 1 natural lash, 

volume lashes are a number of lashes hand 

made in to a fan and applied to each 

individual lash. This gives a much fuller, 

fluffier and featherlike appearance whilst still 

feeling completely weightless.

Cathy Cartwright 

Fresh Thinking 

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy 

Are you stressed or anxious? Unable to cope? 

Would you like to enjoy life more? 

One of the most common reasons clients come to see me about is the effects of stress and 

anxiety on their lives. In fact, I’d say around 95% of my clients come to see me because they are 

experiencing anxiety in some form or other. 

Stress is a normal human emotion and one which everyone experiences at some point in their 

lives e.g. sitting an exam or attending a job interview. As such, this emotion serves us well. It is 

part of our emotional alarm system and motivates us to prepare for events, enhancing our 

performance. However, when people feel stressed and anxious most of the time, their worries 

can spiral out of control. Once this happens, it can feel like their lives are being sabotaged by 

anxiety. 

Anxiety can manifest itself in a number of ways – symptoms can include insomnia, panic attacks, 

lack of confidence, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), feeling depressed, constantly over worrying, 

over eating and/or drinking. Over a period of time, anxiety can gradually build up without us being 

aware. Some people may feel a constant level of negativity pervading, or suffer with low selfesteem 

and a lack of confidence. Anxiety can also affect people to the extreme where they are 

unable to leave their house, or can’t work, some find it hard to drive or cope in social situations. 

We have a conscious and subconscious part in our brains. The subconscious mind is responsible 

for our emotional responses to life’s events and produces the fight, flight and freeze response 

when it thinks our lives are threatened by danger. 

Did you know that the brain cannot tell the difference between what’s real and 

what’s imagined? 

When primitive man found himself in life threatening situations, the fight-flight-freeze response 

would be triggered. Non essential functions of the body would shut down and energy would be 

redirected to the body parts required to remove him from life threatening situations. Today, we 

rarely find ourselves in life threatening situations, but the subconscious part of the brain cannot tell 

the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined and so if you negatively forecast it 

continues to react in the way it has been programmed to do. 

Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, we achieve excellent results. We draw a line in the sand 

and forget how you have been. We focus on your preferred future and how you want things to 

be! During an initial consultation, I will explain what is happening in the brain when we suffer from 

anxiety related disorders and how we can start to get you back in control.

From the 

archives 

From the archives - 

The Reverend William Hay, 

Vicar of Rochdale 

In 1761 William Robert Hay was born into a wealthy family in Cintra Portugal, his father being Envoy 

Extraordinary to the Court of Portugal 1759and his mother the daughter of the Earl of Oxford. Hay was 

educated at Westminster School after which he attended Christ Church Oxford between 1780 and 1783. 

Called to the bar to practice law in 1788, he married the daughter of a Manchester surgeon, Mary Wagstaffe 

in 1793. Turning to holy orders Hay was ordained as Deacon (1797) and the Priest (1798) to Chester and 

took on a small curacy in Hollinwood near Oldham. 

Crucially in 1802 he was elected Chair to the Salford 

Quarter Sessions and Commissioner of the Peace in 

Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire and 

became Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire. During this time 

Hay distinguished himself by his firmness as a magistrate 

during the Luddite riots of 1812 and 1813 although it 

was felt that he was far too eager to suppress the 

protesters. In a letter to Hay from W Ogden in a 

Manchester newspaper in 1819 it was claimed that ‘as 

a magistrate you have taken an active part in 

committing to prison a large number of not only 

innocent, but worthy young men. Where is your 

judgement? 

National fame and notoriety for William Hay was yet 

to come. As possibly the most active and influential 

magistrate in the country, in 1819 Hay was called 

to Manchester on the 18th August to oversee what 

was expected to be a seditious gathering seeking 

reform of parliamentary representation. An earlier 

circular from the Home Office recommended 

vigilance of local magistrates and the training of 

militia prior to the assembly of the protesters, 

60

6000 of whom marched 6-abreast with bands and colours 

flying into the centre of Manchester, making up an 

assembly some felt to be20000, others between 

60000 and 80000 strong at what became 

known as Peterloo. 

William Hay and the other magistrates 

felt that, even though the crowd 

appeared peaceful there was a danger 

to public safety and proclaimed the 

meeting illegal. As Chairman of the 

Quarter Sessions and responsible for the 

reading of the Riot Act, Hay did so and 

although an hour should legally elapse before 

dispersing a crowd, an immediate attempt was 

made to clear the way and arrest those making speeches. 

This was done first by the Manchester Yeomanry advancing at a 

walk but then on the orders of the Magistrates the Hussars deployed at a trot, 

and on a trumpet blast, a charge. There was panic and a stampede in which 700 were badly injured and 18 killed. Archbishop 

Alison felt that the conduct of the magistrates wasill-judged and their measures inexpedient although others such as Canon Parkinson 

in the Manchester Courier (14/12/1839) felt that Manchester owed a vote of thanks ‘to Mr Hay’s firmness and coolness.’ 

One month after the Peterloo massacre, William Hay was nominated for a living as Vicar of Rochdale, one of the most lucrative in 

the country at that time, being worth £1838 per year! Many reformers were annoyed at Hay’s promotion and efforts were made to 

challenge it. Hay never seems to have been known much in Rochdale as a clergyman but more as a lawyer and politician. He was 

often indiscrete however, and on one occasion gave enormous offence when drinking at a public dinner at the Wellington Hotel by 

toasting ‘the health of my good friends, Hunt and Co’ who were the speakers arrested speakers at Peterloo. Clement Royds, who was 

later to be High Sheriff of the county, never forgot the indecency of that remark. 

Reputed to have been a man of 18 stones it was said that it took 14 yards of Saddleworth cloth to make a suit of clothes for him. 

He was not generally seen in and around Rochdale and in fact didn’t like the town. If Samuel Bamford’s poem ‘The Pernicious 

Parson’ is anything to go by, the feeling was mutual! 

If you have any comments on Peterloo or William Hay, I’d be delighted to hear from you and add them to a growing 

Rochdale archive on the subject. Please contact Gary Heywood-Everett at garyheywoodeverett@yahoo.co.uk or leave

ASHWORTH REVISITED 

WALK THE FRIENDS OF ASHWORTH 

VALLEY HERITAGE TRAIL (APPROX. 3 MILES) 

This wonderful walk allows you to explore our valleys and ancient woodland. 

You will see Ashworth's industrial heritage when you visit mill ruins where time has stood still and flora and 

fauna have now taken over, as well as taking you through Ashworth Fold Conservation Area with its Grade 2 

Listed buildings. Wear appropriate footwear as it can be muddy in places and there is a river to cross. Parking is available 

outside the Parish Hall on School Lane. Please do not obstruct the garages. You can pick up the start of the walk just along School 

Lane, turning left just before the bridge onto the footpath/bridleway. This takes you to Coal Bank Mill. 

1. Day School. 

On School Lane, you will find the old stone School House with its 

attractive leaded windows. Built in 1838 by Wilbraham Egerton for 

local children. Now used as St James's Parish Hall. 

2. Coal Bank Mill ruins. 

Built in 1816, originally a woolen carding mill and by 1879 it was 

bleaching cotton. Opposite were 2 rows of cottages and a mill office 

and shop. It was destroyed by a fire on 24th March 1916. 

Back track a little and turn up to Paperhouse Farm, bearing left over 

the cattle grid and walk up the tarmac drive, bearing right over the next cattle grid towards the Church. 

3. St. James Church. 

Was known to be in existence in 1514. Built by the Holt's for their tenants in the reign of Henry V111. It was rebuilt in 1789. The Church is 

said to be haunted. 

4. Egerton Arms ('t' Chapel House) - next to the Church. 

Thought to have been built in the early 16th Century as a place of refreshment by the isolated Church. It was given the name Egerton after 

being rebuilt in 1767 by the Egerton family and closed its doors in 1993. It is now a private residence. 

Turn right onto Ashworth Road and take first left through gate marked private. This is a public right of way and bridlepath. Go past Dairy House 

and Black Dad Farm, dropping down to the Valley below. Cross over the stream to the left and follow down to Kershaws Bridge. 

5. Kershaw Bridge. 

Over the bridge up to the right are the remains of Allansons Mill. Built in 1780 by Thomas Allanson, this was the first mill on record in the 

Valley and the first to cease production in the early 1850’s. 

Climb the cobbled stone setts up to Nab’s Wife. 

62 

For more information to join or support our Friends group, please contact Martin on 07500241735 or 

follow The Friends of Ashworth Valley on Facebook.

6. Nab’s Wife (or Nab’s Wharfe). 

This is formerly the site of a popular tearoom which provided 

refreshments for generations of walkers and hikers during the summer 

months and is now a private residence. 

Turn left and over the stile facing you. Follow the path. After a while 

you will start to drop down into the Valley, cross the river, taking care 

and follow to a fork in footpath. Take the left fork and climb to the 

fields at the top. Continue across the field and then along the lane 

towards Ashworth Fold. Turn left when reaching Ashworth Road. 

7. Ashworth Fold. 

A Fold here dates back to the early 1600's. This Conservation Area with its group of Grade 2 Listed 

Buildings, mainly built in the 17th, 18th and 19th 

centuries, with features such as the Hall, studded Gothic 

doorway, attractive parapet and finial, a stone stile, a 

cobbled area, Listed pig sties and the stone gable end of 

Ashworth Hall dating back to 15th Century. 

Turn right along the marked footpath, down the side of 

Ashworth Hall and into Carr Wood. Follow path past 

former tearooms. 

8. Lower Clough. (formerly Carr Wood tearooms) 

Once another popular tearoom and venue for Sunday 

school outings. There used to be a corn mill at Lower 

Clough but nothing remains apart from 2 granite 

millstones which can still be seen. A date of 1766 and 

initials I.S. were found by the old mill dam. 

Climb up the lane to Higher Clough. Fulling Mill through 

the trees on the right. 

9. Ashworth Fulling Mill. 

Built in 1866, mill ruins can still be clearly seen. These 

can be accessed by a footpath just over the bridge on 

School Lane. The remains of the driveshaft and 

waterwheel are still in evidence. 

Walk back along School Lane to the start.

War Office Road 

By Susan Smith, 

for Bamford Green Belt Action Group. 

Have you ever wondered why War Office Road has such a strange name? There are two possible 

historic explanations as to where this name came from, and both of them centre on the pub 

which used to be where The Sir Winston Churchill/Harvester now stands, which was called The 

Golden Fleece.The first explanation is that ‘The ‘Fleece’ was once used by Oliver Cromwell to 

pay off his men after local skirmishes during the Civil War. Was this when The Fleece first 

began to be nicknamed ‘The War Office?’ 

The second explanation, though, is far more interesting! 

Picture the scene. It is the early decades of the 1800’s, and the Industrial Revolution has yet to take hold in this area. 

Bamford as we know it today doesn’t exist. Instead, the whole area, from Birtle to Oulder Hill, and from Norden, 

(which also doesn’t yet exist) right down to the banks of the Roch, is called Birtle-cum-Bamford, and isn’t even part 

of Rochdale, but a distant and sleepy outpost of the Parish of Middleton! 

There is no village, justfields,remote farms and tiny hamlets, Broadhalgh, Meadowcroft,Crimble, Hollins, Springbank, 

Shelfield, Bagslate,Ashworth, to name but a few, each with a few huddled cottages and residents. There are no roads, 

except for Ashworth Road, and everywhere else is connected by footpaths and cart tracks, meandering hither and yon, 

which mostly don’t go anywhere.The population is sparse, isolated and mostly self sufficient, supplementing their 

income any way they can and many are handloom weavers, spinning and weaving wool in their cottages, and selling 

their finished ‘piece’ on to a middleman, who takes it on to the towns by packhorse. Nothing has changed for 

centuries 

During this period, England was at War with France, on and off, for about 25 years, the Napoleonic Wars, and these 

wars dictated the price the handloom weavers could get for their pieces of woven cloth. If the wars were going badly 

for England, or there was to be a major new offensive, the price of cloth rose, due to increased demand, because more 

soldiers were recruited, and more uniforms were needed. If it was going well and we were winning, the price fell. 

Naturally, the weavers were very interested to find out how the wars were going, but the only way they could do this 

was by reading a ‘news sheet’, which were very expensive at that time, and there was also the small problem that 

none of them could read. 

So they had the bright idea of clubbing together and buying one news sheet between them, and getting the curate to 

read it out to them in Church on Sundays, which everybody attended .This idea was vetoed, however, the church not 

being considered a suitable place for news of war and commerce. They solved the problem by clubbing together to 

buy the news sheets, and persuaded the curate to read the war news to them in one of the cottages, or more likely the 


pub, The Golden Fleece, at the hamlet of Kenyon Fold, which soon became known as “t’war office”, and the track 

leading down to it at the convergence of most of the footpaths, ‘t war office road.’ 

Right up to the arrival of the developers to begin building ‘modern ‘Bamford in the 1960’s, the area around Kenyon 

Fold was always referred to by Bamford old-timers as ‘t’war office.’ The Golden Fleece was demolished in the mid 

1960’s, and The Sir Winston Churchill built in its place, the name chosen (narrowly), instead of The Golden Fleece by 

local referendum, Churchill having died in 1965. 

So the next time you’re out for a Sunday stroll on the footpaths across our precious green belt, remember those 

cottagers who’s feet probably made the footpaths in the first place, as they made their way to the road leading to the 

Golden Fleece, which to this day , over 200 years later, is stillWar Office Road.

Football Clubs were constructed, is visible in the top half of

Norden Carnival 40th Anniversary – 

17th June 2017 

Make sure if you’re not already planning to be part of the annual parade and carnival through the village 

that you’ll be ready to line the streets to cheer this year’s carnival parade. Leading the way will be Carnival 

Queen, Eva Jackson and Carnival King, Alfie Radcliffe. They will be joined by hundreds of others from the 

local schools and businesses that are coming to join in the fun. 

What’s the theme this year? 

To mark the 40th Anniversary, we’re asking everyone to choose their favourite theme from the last 40 years. When the Carnival 

started in 1977 to mark the Queens Silver Jubilee, local businesses came together to show off their goods. 40 years on, as the 

Carnival has gone from strength to strength past themes, chosen by you, have included: 

TV; All Creatures Great and Small; Favourite Film; Favourite Book; Music through the Decades; Around the World in 80 Days; 

Popstars; A Night at the Oscars; Best of British; Fairytales; Top of the Pops; Circus; Myths, witches and wizards. 

With so much diversity there’s lots of choice – and no excuse to get involved! 

How to Enter the Parade? 

The deadline for entering a float or walking 

group is Saturday 10th June. There’s no 

charge to enter. All charities and community 

groups that join the Parade will be given a 

small donation – the amount varies 

depending on how much is raised on the 

day. 

Want to be next Year’s Carnival 

King or Queen? 

The King and Queen are 

automatically selected from those 

who are awarded the Best 

Dressed Boy and Girl at the 

Carnival. So, if there weren’t 

already enough reasons to 

get involved, start planning those outfits now so you, your son, 

daughter could be like Alfie and Eva next year. 

Congratulations to this year’s Poster Winners! 

Harriet Howarth from Norden Primary School and Zak Hussain from Whittaker Moss. The Committee also 

‘Highly Commended’ Addil Islam and Raeesah Islam, both from Norden Primary School for their entries. The quality was great 

again and thanks to all the pupils, parents, teachers and support staff who help make the Carnival so successful. A massive 

thanks, too, to Roma Publications for another incredible design for the cover of Streetwise.

What happens to the funds raised? 

The Carnival donates to a range of charities and local groups. Last year, donations 

were given to Springhill Hospice, Norden Youth Club, the MS Society and Norden 

Ladies Cricket. Anyone interested in applying for a donation should contact the 

organisers by email at the address below. 

So what are you waiting for? Come along and JOIN IN THE FUN!!

A Village Of 

Unsung Heroes 

In the hurly-burly of everyday life, it is sometimes very easy to forget the unique and individual 

character of Norden and it’s surroundings. It is equally easy to forget the individuals and groups who 

help to create and sustain the atmosphere and ambience of our Village. Here are some examples to remind 

and inspire you. 

The residents of Ashworth Valley have recently grouped together to bring greater collective vigour to their efforts to clean up and 

enhance the whole of Ashworth Road for the benefit of all user- groups; ramblers, cyclists, horse-riders and tourists can all see 

the impact they are having. 

There are two families in particular who have made it their mission to spend valuable spare time at weekends on an intensive 

clean-up of the upper part of Edenfield Road and Ashworth Road; their efforts are a brilliant example of how much transformation 

can be achieved by persistent hard work. 

A number of local shopkeepers and other business owners are improving and enhancing their shop-fronts and buildings to 

improve the visitor experience. Our community is extremely fortunate that a local business has provided much-needed car parking 

space close to the centre of Norden, making life more convenient and safer for everyone. 

Some residents in the terraced streets on either side of Edenfield Road have clearly engaged with the spirit of RHS Britain in 

Bloom adding colour to their hoses with creative pot-planting and hanging baskets. 

The Friends Of Heritage Green have given a great demonstration of community campaigning in their efforts to prevent building on 

a key green space for local residents. 

Moss Row Community Allotment Society have not only rescued a derelict space in the midst of our Village, but have also created a 

much-improved environment and wildlife habitat for us all to enjoy. 

The initiative started by Councillor Winkler and others to list and preserve key heritage assets in our Ward is a longer term project 

to enhance our environment for present and future generations. 

The whole environment in our Village benefits from the advocacy skills of all three Councillors as well as their vigilance in insuring 

that, as far as possible, development in the Ward is kept appropriate in the scale and character and that Green Belt is preserved 

and enhanced. 

I hope that people reading the above will be inspired to initiate their own project or support an existing one. For further 

information on any of the items above, please contact either Kate or Becky at Streetwise.

Seared Beef Fillet with Mizuna and Bacon Bits 

You don’t need a lot of beef to make this designer salad so source 

out the best quality you can. Quite uniquely the beef is only seared 

on one side – resulting in a steak that is charred on the bottom, 

medium on the middle and rare on top. Beautiful. If you do want a 

more substantial salad just increase the quantity of meat. 

Serves 2 

Croutons 

4 tablespoons olive oil 

1 slice of white bread- placed in the freezer for 5 minutes so easier to slice 

1 clove garlic – crushed 

3 slices streaky bacon cooked until crisp and cut into splinters 

Potato 


1 small potato – peeled and finely diced 

1 sprig fresh rosemary – chopped 


1 knob butter 

2 x 85g slices of beef fillet 

To Serve 

Mizuna salad 

Mixed leaves 

Simple vinaigrette 

1) Take the chilled piece of bread and cut into neat dice. 

Heat the olive oil and fry the bread, tossing frequently until 

a light golden. Add the garlic and toss a few more times. 

2) For the potato – heat the olive oil in a non stick pan and 

fry the potato cubes, keep tossing until the potato is cooked 

through and golden on the outside, add the rosemary and 

toss a few more times – season. 

3) When ready to serve, heat the remaining oil in a pan, 

add the knob of butter, when foaming, add the steak and 

fry on a high heat until the blood starts to form on the top 

of the steak. 

4) Arrange the salad leaves on a plate, scatter on the 

croutons, potato and bacon. Place the steak on top and 

finish with a drizzle of vinaigrette.

N.E.E.V.A. 

(Norden Environmental and Economic Village Association) 

N.E.E.V.A. has been at the heart of the Norden community for approximately 

20 years. The association is run by a team of volunteers, who dedicate their 

time to organise and participate in much loved annual events that bring 

families and friends together whilst having fun and raising money for charity. 

Looking ahead for the month of June, we are preparing for the much-anticipated 

Norden Carnival. The village’s local businesses will be hard at work brainstorming how 

to decorate their shop windows for the event on Saturday, June 17th 2017 to celebrate 

40 years of what has become a much-loved tradition. 

Continued work towards raising funds to decorate our village with beautiful hanging 

baskets, improving roads and providing security 

through CCTV cameras are well underway. As 

we are approaching the middle of the year our 

efforts will start to focus on the Christmas Light 

Switch-On organised by NE.E.V.A. 

For now we would like to invite everyone in our 

special community to join in the festivities on Carnival Day. See you there! 

Local Business Man Receives Recognition from Mayor 

and Mayoress of Rochdale 

After Paul Ellison received a personal invitation from the Mayor and Mayoress of 

Rochdale to attend afternoon tea at the Town hall on Wednesday 10th May, Paul was

dedication and enthusiasm in the area of Norden, and wish him greater success in the future". 

Mr Ellison is very active in the local community, by Chairing local groups such as The Friends of 

Norden Jubilee Park, NEEVA (Nordens Environmental and Economic Village Association) and he 

helped to set up and chaired the Friends of Ashworth Valley.

Ingredients 

600g skinless, boneless chicken thigh or breast meat 

1 large onion 

2.5cm piece root ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped 

3 cloves garlic, peeled 

2 red peppers, peeled and deseeded 

1 tablespoon ground cumin 

2 teaspoons ground coriander 

½ teaspoon ground turmeric 

¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or chilli 

½ teaspoon ground pepper 

½ teaspoon salt 

1 ½ tablespoons ground almonds 

125ml water or chicken stock 

Juice of 1 lemon 

7 tablespoons vegetable oil ( can use less oil) 

CHICKEN IN RED PEPPER SAUCE 

Recipe from Heather Williams 

Serves 3-4 good portions. This dish is a mild curry using chicken thigh or chicken breast 

meat courtesy of Paul Bellchambers of Denman College(the WI’s own Cookery School) 

Method - 

Combine onion, ginger, garlic, peppers, salt, pepper and spices in a food processor 

or blender and process until everything is finely chopped into a paste. 

Heat a pan over a medium heat and heat oil. When hot, pour in the mixture from 

the blender and stir fry for about 10 minutes until you can see the oil forming tiny 

bubbles round it. 

Add the chicken with the water or stock and lemon juice. Stir to mix, bring to the 

boil and cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 25 minutes or 

until the chicken is tender. 

Serve with plain rice and naan bread. 

Tip 

When preparing rice use basmati rice and gently fry, without browning, in 1 

tablespoon oil before adding water to boil until tender. Drain off excess water before 

serving and fluff up with a fork.
