Welcome to<br />
our <strong>October</strong> issue<br />
We’re back after our lovely break<br />
and very much hoping that you all had<br />
a great summer.<br />
Once again this month the magazine is packed<br />
with community articles as well as local<br />
businesses offering a huge range of services<br />
both inside and outside the home.<br />
On pages 34-36 Val Corns from the Norden<br />
Local Historical Society has written another<br />
fascinating article about Greenbooth Reservoir<br />
which is well worth a read.<br />
Your local Syke Walk and Talk Group are back<br />
this month and full details on how you can<br />
become involved with this local group can be<br />
found on page 39. A great way to keep fit and<br />
meet new friends. There is something for people<br />
of all ages and abilities.<br />
Councillor Shaun O Neil has also written another<br />
great article this month which can be found<br />
on page 40.<br />
On Sunday 1st September Whitworth held their<br />
annual Rushcart Procession and Celebrations.<br />
Despite the rain, residents came out to support<br />
the event which was a great success. There’s a<br />
fabulous article with some fantastic pictures on<br />
page 41 of this month’s issue.<br />
Until next month...<br />

HOPE<br />
Menswear<br />
Womenswear<br />
Celebrating 60 years<br />
DENIS HOPE, one of Rochdale’s longest established independent family businesses is proudly celebrating their 60th<br />
birthday. It all began in 1959 when Denis, who was working at the reputable Edward Taylor’s in Heywood, decided it<br />
was time to start up on his own. With a vision and a passion for the clothing industry, Denis aimed to provide amazing<br />
ranges, sourced from throughout Britain and Europe, coupled with unbeatable customer service.<br />
He opened the doors to a small Drake Street shop in<br />
September 1959, such was the success that the shop was<br />
extended into the property next door. Years later other stores<br />
were opened in Oldham and Bury, and a ladies department<br />
created within the flagship Drake St store.<br />
There has always been a family feel to the store, not only<br />
has the business seen 3 generations of the Hope family<br />
working in it, but it has also served to 3 generations of<br />
customers. Many customers fondly recall shopping at<br />
Denis Hope with their parents.<br />
When Denis retired the business was handed over to his son<br />
Michael. New labels were added to the already strong brand mix, the biggest addition being Hugo Boss. Denis Hope<br />
are now one of the biggest stockists of Hugo Boss outside of Manchester City centre.<br />
The business continues to go from strength to strength, there is no longer the Oldham and Bury stores but a beautiful<br />
Men’s and Ladies store in Clitheroe now exists. The ladies department was moved 4 years ago to its current location<br />
in Norden, and continues to flourish.<br />
In <strong>October</strong> last year the flagship store was closed and relocated to Norden due to the decline of Drake St.<br />
Incorporated in the move to Norden was a rebranding to HOPE Menswear, in keeping with the other HOPE stores.<br />
Now occupying 794-798 Edenfield Rd is the Menswear store, formal hire department and the existing HOPE<br />
Womenswear. Despite the changes and rebranding the stores still holds true to the original values and ethos that<br />
Denis insisted on. Grandson Oliver, now in control of the Norden store, has recreated a welcome atmosphere and<br />
pressure free shopping environment.<br />
All the stores have an excellent brand mix that appeal to a wide range of age groups. Well known brands such as<br />
Hugo Boss, Ted Baker, Oui, Barbour and Part Two are coupled with brands that can not be found on the high street,<br />
some of which are exclusive to Hope in the North West.<br />
Oliver and his team are trying to change some preconceived ideas that the store is either too formal or not for their<br />
age group. ‘New customers frequently tell me that they thought we were just a suit shop, and that they had no idea<br />
that we do things like Hugo Boss and Replay jeans, tee shirts and polos.’ Said Oliver ‘We have customers shopping<br />
with us from early 20’s upwards on the mens side and 30+ on the ladies, we really do try and cater for everyone.’<br />
If you are yet to visit the store, you’ll love what you find.<br />
The new location for the Norden stores is proving a great hit, people can now turn the shopping trip in to more of an<br />
experience, whether its food at Nutters or Catherines, a quick drink in the newly opened Norden Inn (a Hope team<br />
favourite after work) or a trip to Wildbloods to stock the fridge up with fine meats and deli produce. Norden also<br />
boasts a Personal Training and health food complex, several<br />
beauty and hair salons, more retail shops and lies at the<br />
foot of the stunning Greenbooth reservoirs. With such an<br />
offering there is no need to venture in to town.<br />
Why not follow the journey of HOPE on social<br />
media, and keep up to date on the planned birthday<br />
celebrations…<br />

Behind every Great Holiday<br />
is a Great Private Hire/Taxi Company<br />
Having booked a 4 star hotel for my annual holiday I wanted a transfer to the airport to<br />
be of an equal standard to start my holiday off in style. I’d not heard of J21 before I saw<br />
their advert in ‘Streetwise’ and decided to check them out.<br />
J21 had over 500 reviews posted through an independent review company and are the<br />
only ever Airport transfer company to win ‘Business of the year > 1 Million’ at the Annual<br />
Rochdale Business Awards.<br />
Although all of the reviews were great, the one below really caught my eye.<br />
“Having seen this company around the airport I decided to give them a try when I next<br />
travelled and I was really pleased I did. I was upgraded from bronze to gold which<br />
was a lovely surprise and will always be welcomed! I can see why people would opt<br />
for that package as the car was impeccable. The service was great and the meet and<br />
greet well done and preferable. This is a family company and the owners Son, Michael,<br />
who was my driver was Charming. I will be using J21 for my next trip for sure.”<br />
After reading this review I contacted J21 by phone, the owner, John Byrne, answered<br />
my call, he offered me a complimentary upgrade from Bronze to Gold service as it was<br />
my first booking, he also offered me a small discount if I wanted to pay cash to the driver<br />
on the day.<br />
I decided to book online as it was more convenient to book and pay online at<br />
www.j21airporttaxis.co.uk using my credit card, the process took just 2 minutes and<br />
the online booking was very easy to do even though I am not the best on a computer.<br />
I have Just travelled with them again using the Bronze service and was amazed at the<br />
quality, the driver told me that drivers have to work their way up the ladder at J21<br />
and that in reality the Bronze drivers are all in training to be top Chauffeurs.<br />
Delighted at the quality of service received.<br />

NORDEN<br />
Greenbooth<br />
& DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY<br />
The End of the Hutchinson Reign<br />
We left our last visit to Greenbooth with<br />
an insight into school life and activity<br />
within the village. James Butterworth’s<br />
daughter Mary Hutchinson had held an<br />
almost regal position within the village.<br />
The Hutchinson’s had provided work,<br />
housing and education for the village<br />
population and they were pillars of the<br />
community. They lived at Upper<br />
Tenterhouse, a very large and grand<br />
mansion with 26 bedrooms, set in a<br />
substantial plot of land with a boating lake.<br />
They hosted many grand parties and lavish<br />
dinners. Their wealth, although providing<br />
them with an extremely privileged lifestyle,<br />
also generously supported the local<br />
community.<br />
Mary’s husband Robert Hopwood<br />
Hutchinson had been born into a family of<br />
wealthy Blackburn cotton manufacturers.<br />
Now their eldest son Robert Percy<br />
Hutchinson joined his father in the<br />
managing of his Nova Scotia Mill in<br />
Blackburn whilst the youngest son Arthur<br />
Lord Hutchinson worked alongside his<br />
mother at Greenbooth Mill. The sons both<br />
had very different personalities and Percy<br />
put the benefit of his privileged education<br />
at Eton and Harvard to use by developing<br />
his business acumen. He became interested<br />
in politics and set up some independent<br />
business dealings, for a while even living<br />
in Geneva. Arthur on the other hand was<br />
content to remain steadfast to the family<br />

usiness in Greenbooth. When Percy took<br />
himself off to London to pursue ventures<br />
new, Arthur married Florence and went<br />
on to have a daughter, Beryl. Both Arthur<br />
and Florence lent enormous support to the<br />
people of Greenbooth and Norden, Arthur<br />
following on from his father as president of<br />
Norden Cricket Club and was to remain in<br />
that role for the next 27 years from 1881<br />
to 1908.<br />
The mill at Greenbooth had been doing well<br />
under Arthurs stewardship but now in 1908<br />
it is up for sale and its closure in many ways<br />
was to signal the death knell for the village<br />
of Greenbooth and its inhabitants. It is a few<br />
years later before the cause of the downfall<br />
is totally revealed. Back in London, Percy<br />
had become reacquainted with a man called<br />
MacKenzie, a previous contact of his, and<br />
a somewhat dubious character. Despite<br />
his privileged and extensive education it<br />
failed to protect him from being led astray<br />
by MacKenzie, a corrupted forger. Meeting<br />
up with him again, at a point where he had<br />
got himself into financial difficulties with<br />
the Blackburn mill, he became caught up in<br />
some issue with the passing of fraudulent<br />

They whole heartedly supported not only<br />
the everyday working life of the village but<br />
contributed heavily to social functions, often<br />
hosting event at Tenterhouse and also allowing<br />
use of Greenbooth school rooms<br />
as a meeting place for social occasions.<br />
All this paints a picture of great affluence<br />
and yet we know that, due to financial<br />
difficulties, the Mill closed its doors in<br />
1908, so what was it that brought about<br />
this fall from grace? A newspaper article of<br />
1908 discussing the proposed sale, reveals<br />
that the current wage bill was now around<br />
£14,000 a year and that the Mill was the<br />
largest rate payer in the Norden district and<br />
therefore it was very much hoped that the<br />
business would continue. Obviously the<br />
closure of the mill would go on to have<br />
massive implications for the local population.
cheques. He was accused of fraudulently<br />
obtaining subscriptions and adjusting figures<br />
on several cheques. This scenario was<br />
widely publicised and must have brought<br />
great shame to the family. The Common<br />
Sergeant in passing sentence, said that while<br />
he had no doubt that Mackenzie was the<br />
ringleader of a very extensive scheme<br />
of forgery, the prisoner’s connection with<br />
him must have made him aware that the<br />
man was a criminal of an almost desperate<br />
character. He was found guilty and<br />
sentenced to 4 year penal servitude at<br />
Parkhurst prison on the Isle of White.<br />
Arthur, had done his best to support Percy<br />
through his problems but was unable to<br />
maintain the required funding and needless<br />
to say the financial impact hit the<br />
Greenbooth mill heavily.<br />
Both Arthur and his wife Florence had been<br />
very active supporters of St Paul’s and<br />
Bagslate Wesleyan Chapel. Most of the<br />
social life of the day was centred around<br />
church and family and the Hutchinson’s<br />
fully embraced this way of life. Despite<br />
having enjoyed enormous wealth and<br />
privilege, Arthur does not appear to be in<br />
the least ostentatious. In 1911, despite<br />
having left Greenbooth and now living in<br />
Maida Vale, Arthur sends a letter and a<br />
donation to St Pauls for a fund raising that<br />
was taking place at the time. He makes the<br />
remark ‘My impaired means prohibit my<br />
doing what I would like but I have pleasure<br />
in enclosing you a small donation, and if the<br />
negotiations I now have on for disposing<br />
of Greenbooth and thus freeing myself of<br />
a most serious liability bear fruit I will be<br />
pleased to materially increase it.’<br />
Club function he makes a very telling<br />
remark. Talking of the club and its players<br />
he says, ‘I am somewhat rather old<br />
fashioned and sometimes thought there<br />
were too many ‘matches’ and too few games’<br />
he goes on to say that his preference was<br />
for friendly games and stressed that they<br />
had been fortunate in having so many local<br />
players who had stood by the club instead of<br />
pursuing their fortunes elsewhere’.<br />
Somewhat of an analogy of how the<br />
brothers had led their lives, Arthur<br />
remaining steadfast whilst Percy needed<br />
to seek his fortune elsewhere. Percy’s<br />
wayward lifestyle was to have massive<br />
implications for Arthur and indeed for<br />
Greenbooth itself.<br />
We can only surmise that Percy receiving<br />
a guilty verdict took its toll on Arthur and<br />
contributed heavily to his own financial<br />
downfall. Arthur died only a year after<br />
Percy’s verdict at the age of 52. A listing in<br />
the Annals of Rochdale in 1912 under<br />
‘Published Wills’ records his estate of<br />
£38,160 gross and £4,511 net, a very clear<br />
indication of the level of debt and weight of<br />
the burden he had carried. Percy went on<br />
to live in Dorset, married his second wife<br />
Ellen Jane Read in 1925 and died in 1928<br />
at the age of 75.<br />

His remarks demonstrate the sheer weight<br />
of the financial burden he carries and yet<br />
despite all this he still feels duty bound to<br />
make his contribution to the fund for St<br />
Pauls. Whilst presiding at a Norden Cricket<br />

Ride of<br />
Respect<br />
M60 Ring of Red<br />
This year members of the Military<br />
Vehicle Trust from the West Pennines<br />
and other neighbouring areas are<br />
invited to bring their Military Vehicles<br />
to join the thousands of bikers on the<br />
RIDE OF RESPECT.<br />
The RIDE OF RESPECT is an annual event to create a ‘Ring Of Red’ around the M60,<br />
Manchester, on Remembrance Sunday. The sentiment and organisation of this<br />
event is commendable, and the organisers have requested our involvement.<br />
“This year is the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings and the 30th anniversary<br />
of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it would be great if we could get as many MV’s as<br />
possible to join the thousands of motorbike riders who pay their respects to the<br />
men & women of our armed forces both past and present”.<br />
The idea of the event is to raise money for small charities that help veterans by<br />
creating the biggest poppy ever attempted. Participants all wear something<br />
RED or place a RED banner on their vehicle to complete a circle around the<br />
36-mile M60 route, which if seen from the air would show a massive Ring of Red,<br />
symbolising the Poppy. Last year there were over 2300 participants!<br />
All you need to do to join in is meet at the Westbound Birch Services on Sunday<br />
10th November <strong>2019</strong>. Assembly is from 1030 hours and bikers will be departing in<br />
groups of 200 from 1300 hours. MV’s will be one of the last groups to depart at<br />
approximately 1330 hours and marshals will be on hand, with help from the<br />
Highways Agency, to prevent disruption to motorists and help to ensure the<br />
event passes off without a hitch.<br />
On the day we can also accommodate people and vehicles wishing to<br />
participate in the morning Remembrance Commemoration at Rochdale Town<br />
Hall, which is conveniently placed to access the westbound Birch Services.<br />
We’d like to know if you’re planning to join the Ride of Respect,<br />
to do this, please email: west_pennines_mvt@outlook.com or,<br />
ring Steve on 07515285304.<br />

The Syke Walk & Talk Group<br />
A day out with the Cutgate<br />
and Milnrow and Newhey Groups<br />
Every year Syke/Cutgate organise a coach<br />
trip. This year the almost unanimous<br />
choice was Whitby.<br />
We left Syke Chapel at 7.45am and picked up<br />
at Rochdale Town Hall at 8.00am. Everyone<br />
arrived promptly so we set off on time.<br />
Ruth, our Social Secretary and Walk Leader<br />
had researched events that were available and<br />
found a lady, Rose, The Whitby Storyteller, who<br />
gave a talk on the History, Legends and<br />
Folklore of Whitby while strolling round the<br />
areas of interest. We stayed on the coach and<br />
were dropped off at the top of the 199 steps.<br />
The Abbey was destroyed by Henry 8th.<br />
We made excellent time as the roads were<br />
quiet but as we started to cross the North<br />
Yorkshire Moors the heavy mist came down<br />
and rain started to fall, quite heavily at times.<br />
Every year we have been so fortunate and<br />
enjoyed excellent weather, but was this year<br />
going to be a washout?<br />
However, by the time we arrived at Whitby, the<br />
weather was fine and dry.<br />
Two walks were organised. Geoff, Walk Leader,<br />
took some of our group on a five and a half mile<br />
circular walk inland from the River Esk out to<br />
the Lighthouse at Saltwick Bay, returning along<br />
the Cleveland Way Coastal Path to Whitby<br />
Abbey. Other members preferred to explore<br />
at their own pace and were dropped off in the<br />
centre of town by the Harbour.<br />
We had plenty of time to explore the lovely St.<br />
Mary’s Church and read the very interesting<br />
gravestones.<br />
Rose arrived and took us to the high point<br />
overlooking the town and Harbour. The talk<br />
was interesting and highly amusing. Starting<br />
with Myths and Legends from pre-historic<br />
times, stopping at various sites, taking us<br />
through Medieval Times to the effect that<br />
World War 2 had on the town.<br />

Many boats were wrecked outside Whitby<br />
Harbour in the strong storms of the North<br />
Sea and various cargos eventually ended on<br />
the beaches. One ship carrying coffins was<br />
wrecked and its cargo drifted into view. This<br />
is said to give rise to the Legend of Dracula as<br />
Bram Stoker was visiting at that time.<br />
The last stop was in the alley next to the Inn<br />
where Charles Dickens complained about the<br />
amount of oyster shells thrown on the ground.<br />
This highly entertaining and totally non-pc<br />
talk was still being talked about on Tuesdays<br />
Cutgate walk.<br />
Art Galleries, boat trips, Jet shopping, open top<br />
bus tour, heritage steam train and of course<br />
FISH AND CHIPS!!!<br />
Many of our group ate in Trenchers where<br />
the name of the boat that caught the fish that<br />
morning and the farm from where the potatoes<br />
were grown, was up on a board in the<br />
dining room.<br />
We set off back at 5.30pm. Very good drive<br />
home with traffic moving smoothly and no<br />
hold-ups.<br />
We hired a 49-seater coach from Rothwells,<br />
with a lovely friendly driver, John.<br />
Many thanks to Ruth Pledger and Geoff<br />
Ogden for their planning.<br />
A good time was had by all.<br />
Where to next year?<br />
Barbara Jessop<br />
There OUR is so GROUP much to do in Whitby - Museums,<br />
If you feel you want to get out more often for a walk in our local countryside, then come along to our weekly Walk<br />
and Talk Group. The Syke Walk and Talk Group meet every Monday at 1pm and Fridays at 10am at Syke Chapel<br />
and Community Base. The walks are led by trained leaders and there are different levels of walks so there is<br />
something to suit everyone’s needs and abilities. No one is ever left behind and the more energetic are promoted<br />
to the next level. The Syke Community Base offers their facilities before the start of the walks and provides a<br />
welcome tea and biscuit refreshment at the end. It is a great way to get fit and active while making new friends.<br />
Everyone welcome<br />

The Red Duster<br />
By Councillor Shaun O’Neill<br />
Is the affectionate name for the Flag that<br />
represents the Merchant Navy, with its proper<br />
name being the Red Ensign.<br />
On the 3rd September I attended a flag raising event<br />
outside Rochdale Town Hall. This remembrance service<br />
has been an annual event nationally since 2001 and<br />
here in Rochdale and Heywood from 2014.<br />
The ‘Merchant Navy’ title was bestowed upon<br />
commercial shipping seafarers by King George V in<br />
recognition of their dedication to duty during the First<br />
World War and subsequently WW2.<br />
Their story dates back to the 17th Century, a time in British History when trade and<br />
imperial expansion was at an all-time high.<br />
In the First and Second World Wars the Merchant Service suffered heavy losses from<br />
U-boat attacks with around 14,661 Merchant Seafarers killed and in WW2 German<br />
U-boats sank nearly 14.7 million tons of Allied Shipping and over 32,000 Merchant<br />
Seafarers lost their lives. During this period my Uncle’s ship was torpedoed and he was<br />
captured by the Germans and spent the rest of the War in a prisoner of war camp.<br />
“Under the Red Duster they sustained our Island Fortress” was the message on<br />
WW2 posters at the time. And if you wish to pay your respects to the Wartime<br />
Seafarers, you can at the Remembrance Sunday Service on the 11th November<br />
where if you look closely at the<br />
Cenotaph, in Town, you will see<br />
the Flags of the Royal Navy, The<br />
Army, The Royal Air Force and<br />
the Red Duster!<br />

Whitworth Rushcart<br />
Procession and Celebrations<br />
The annual Whitworth Rushcart celebrations took<br />
place on the afternoon of Sunday 1 September<br />
<strong>2019</strong>. For the first time we can remember it<br />
actually rained on our parade but that didn’t<br />
dampen the spirits of all who attended.<br />
The procession left from Whitworth Museum featuring<br />
numerous traditional morris dance troupes (including<br />
the famous Britannia Coconutters and the Whitworth<br />
Morris Men) led by the Rushcart itself.<br />
Whitworth’s Rushcart history goes back hundreds of<br />
years; initially the celebration was linked into the cutting<br />
and collection of rushes to be strewn on the bare earth<br />
or stone flagged floor of the church as a form of<br />
insulation for the winter to come, taken to the church<br />
on the cart. Out of this grew a celebration which was<br />
enjoyed by the whole community. In the 1970s and<br />
1980s the Rushcart was the highlight of the Whitworth<br />
Fair week; in recent times the week-long festivities<br />
have passed into history however the popularity of the<br />
Rushcart itself in Whitworth is strong. The Rushcart now<br />
takes place on a Sunday afternoon each September<br />
rather than its traditional Friday night slot, and has<br />
become more family-focused.<br />
This year, our regular dancers were joined by Rivington<br />
Morris and Bradshaw Mummers. The Bradshaw<br />
Mummers are a street theatre group performing<br />
traditional and contemporary plays based on the<br />
medieval mumming traditions and Rivington Morris<br />
are a women’s morris team who have developed<br />
a reputation over the years for energy and precision.<br />
Organisers wish to thank all our dancers and volunteers<br />
who made this event the success it was.<br />
