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 />

To be Continued…<br />

Val Corns<br />

valcorns@hotmail.co.uk<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 />
