<strong>Dec</strong>ember and<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary issue<br />
Welcome to this bumper issue!<br />
With twelve more pages to enjoy<br />
this month, Streetwise really is THE<br />
handy magazine to have in your<br />
home over the festive period and<br />
into the New Year.<br />
Once again this month the local churches<br />
have come together to advertise their<br />
services over the festive period. We are<br />
very much looking forward to the Midnight<br />
Communion at St Paul’s Church on<br />
Christmas Eve as it’s a beautiful, candlelit<br />
service and a wonderful start to Christmas<br />
Day. If you can attend, we can assure that<br />
you will not be disappointed.<br />
As we reflect on 2019, we are so proud<br />
of how the magazines have grown in<br />
popularity. Each month our community<br />
pages are packed with so many local<br />
events, achievements and charitable<br />
causes as well as many local businesses<br />
who see the value of advertising in the<br />
magazines.<br />
Thank you so much for your support<br />
throughout this year and for the great<br />
comments we receive about the magazines.<br />
We look forward to bringing you so much<br />
more in <strong>2020</strong> and wish you all a very<br />
Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year.<br />
Until next year...<br />
Kate & Becky<br />

CHRIS<br />
CLARKSON<br />
1<br />
Get Brexit Done. It’s been<br />
over three years since we<br />
voted to leave. People are fed<br />
up of politicians playing games.<br />
2<br />
Tackle crime and anti-social<br />
behaviour. 20,000 more<br />
Police Officers on our streets and<br />
10,000 more prison places will<br />
make us safer and more secure.<br />
3<br />
my<br />
plan<br />
More good quality homes,<br />
built on brownfield first.<br />
Young people should be able to<br />
afford a home in their own<br />
communities.<br />
for <strong>Norden</strong><br />
& <strong>Bamford</strong><br />
4<br />
Quality Jobs and investment<br />
in the local community. As<br />
your MP I’ll fight to bring business<br />
and investment to our area.<br />
5<br />
Better transport links and<br />
infrastructure. Public<br />
transport is too focused on<br />
Manchester - I’ll work with other<br />
MPs and the GMCA to improve<br />
local links.<br />
6<br />
Boost schools and invest in<br />
training. An extra £14 billion<br />
for schools will help young people<br />
take advantage of new jobs and<br />
opportunities locally.<br />

BUCKLEY MENSWEAR<br />
CELEBRATE THEIR FIRST ANNIVERSARY<br />
After just 12 months of trading BUCKLEY<br />
Menswear is becoming firmly established as one<br />
of Rochdale’s leading independent traders.<br />
Having been nominated by highly respected trade<br />
magazine Drapers as one of the country’s BEST<br />
NEW RETAILER S in their first 8 months of<br />
trading the shop is going from strength to strength<br />
and gaining a reputation for both quality clothing<br />
and great service.<br />
The beauty of being in such a prominent building<br />
in the centre of Rochdale is the passing trade as<br />
well as the destination shopper, we do have people<br />
travelling into town for the shop but we are seeing<br />
the footfall in the town slowly increase and once the<br />
new riverside development kicks in Philip is more<br />
than confident that the town will see the rewards.<br />
“It’s going to be an exciting time to be involved in<br />
the town centre over the next few years and we<br />
are really looking forward to being a part of that.”<br />

Can you make a real difference to<br />
a child’s life and become a foster carer<br />
with Rochdale Borough Council?<br />
A woman who gave up her teaching career to become a<br />
foster carer is encouraging others to give a loving home to<br />
children who, often through no fault of their own, are in the<br />
care of the council.<br />
Trish, who’s became a foster carer with Rochdale council a year ago,<br />
gave up her teaching job to foster and she says that seeing the children<br />
she cares for thrive in education is a rewarding part of the job: “I have<br />
transferred my teaching skills to use with the children in my care. I feel<br />
that I am making a big difference in enabling the children to be the best<br />
they can be educationally and also in their personal growth.”<br />
There are over 55,000 children and young people living in foster care<br />
placements across England and around 43,500 households foster with their local authority.<br />
However, there continues to be a decline in the number of people becoming foster carers<br />
and councils across England are looking for people to come forward as new carers.<br />
Trish is encouraging people across Rochdale to come forward and support local children<br />
in the borough, she said: “It’s a challenging but rewarding role, which has enabled me to<br />
achieve a better work-life balance as I am at home during the day and not rushing in from<br />
work at 6pm every night. I’d really encourage people to contact the council’s fostering<br />
team and take that first step.”<br />
The former teacher has fostered many teenagers, and she’s encouraging others to<br />
think about fostering teens, she said: “I love fostering teenagers through this difficult yet<br />
exciting stage of their lives. I can teach them vital life skills that will set them up for their<br />
future. They have often already gained a level of life experience, which enables them to<br />
be independent and for me to learn from them too. Teenagers in foster care often have<br />
an undeserved stigma attached to them, however, they usually just require the safety and<br />
stability of a loving family who will listen and respond to their needs.”<br />
The council is always on the lookout for people who wish to take up the rewarding role of<br />
being and fostering carer. We are currently running a campaign urging people who are<br />
considering fostering teenagers, who are often very hard to place, to get in touch.<br />
Training, support and guidance is available from our fostering team and you will have<br />
a dedicated social worker to support you throughout.<br />
Councillor Kieran Heakin, cabinet member for children’s services,<br />
said: “We have an increasing need for new foster carers. We<br />
particularly need to recruit carers for older children and teenagers<br />
and for children who need more specialist care. If you’ve got<br />
experience working with children through your profession,<br />
volunteering or raising your own family we’d like to hear from<br />
you, you can make such a huge difference.”<br />

From The Archives<br />
THE GOBLIN BUILDERS<br />
This is an old tale told by Roby in his<br />
‘Traditions’ about the building of the<br />
Parish Church. It seems that towards the<br />
end of the reign of William the Conqueror<br />
they decided to build a church in what was<br />
then Recedham on the banks of the river<br />
near to where Newgate is now. Timbers<br />
and large stones were gathered there and<br />
stakes driven into the ground to mark the<br />
spot. During one night however, all the<br />
stones, wood and tools were mysteriously<br />
taken up to the top of the hillside overlooking<br />
the town centre although no-one<br />
saw it happening. Next day everything<br />
was brought back down by the workmen<br />
only for it all to be removed again to the<br />
top of the hill next night. Gamel, Lord of<br />
Recedham thought that the workmen were<br />
playing tricks so ordered the materials<br />
back to Newgate. The following night<br />
everything was removed again to the top<br />
of the hill. Advice was sought from the<br />
church authorities and they pronounced<br />
that the church should be built above the<br />
town where the ‘goblin builders’ wanted it<br />
to be. And it’s still there now!<br />
GHOSTS AROUND THE BAUM<br />
The story goes that St Mary’s churchyard<br />
near to the Co-op Museum is a prime site<br />
for ghostly apparitions. Not only has a<br />
ghostly figure of a man been reported in<br />
the churchyard floating gently a few inches<br />
GHOSTS OF ROCHDALE<br />
It has become a tradition at Christmas time to tell ghost stories.<br />
Here are a few concerning our town.<br />
above the ground, but it was also the place<br />
where the Baum Rabbit was seen on many<br />
occasions. Recorded as early as 1876, this<br />
was the spectre of a vicious bunny ‘with<br />
fur as white as snow and eyes as red as<br />
blood’ which used to come out at night and<br />
terrify the children. Many a parent kept<br />
his child in check by saying ‘Don’t go to<br />
the back of Yorkshire Street because the<br />
Baum Rabbit will get you!’ You might even<br />
get a glimpse of it in this video captured<br />
brilliantly by Brownkhao at https://www.<br />
youtube.com/watch?v=1P8muPJijR0<br />
THE RAKE CAVALIER<br />
Kathleen Eyre in her book of Lancashire<br />
Legends writes about a soldier, presumably<br />
from the English Civil War who haunts<br />
properties near to Hollingworth Lake. It is<br />
alleged (although not proven) that Oliver<br />
Cromwell stayed in a small house near<br />
to The Rake Inn – thereafter sometimes<br />
known as Oliver’s Cottage (a cottage<br />
where Old Noll, a supposed witch, also<br />
stayed) – and where a Cavalier, no doubt<br />
chasing Cromwell, followed him. It is not<br />
known what happened to the Cavalier,<br />
perhaps he was killed by the Roundheads<br />
but the ghost of a grinning soldier<br />
dressed in support of the King remained –<br />
sometimes drunk – roaming the<br />
surrounding lanes and The Rake Inn itself,<br />
moving silently upon the landing, laughing<br />
to himself.<br />

OWD BETTS GHOST<br />
Not many people can claim that they’ve<br />
filmed a ghost but Amazon TV producer<br />
and ghost hunter Sean Reynolds in 2017<br />
says that, when filming at Owd Betts he<br />
experienced ice-cold air and saw a Bible<br />
and a cushion that had been owned by<br />
the landlady a century before moving on<br />
its own. For his series ‘Ghost Dimension’<br />
he also caught on camera a ghost having<br />
a Christmas drink in the pub. All of these<br />
strange sights were accompanied by<br />
sounds of footsteps and voices all around<br />
the pub believed to be the movements and<br />
chattering of Owd Betty herself who died<br />
in 1893. Many regulars at the Owd Betts<br />
pub claim also to have seen the ghost of<br />
a woman behind the bar, often moving<br />
glasses mysteriously no doubt trying to fill<br />
them with spirits!<br />
There have been many other ghostly sights<br />
in Rochdale, one featuring the public<br />
executioner, Rochdale’s John Ellis who<br />
died in 1932 but, some maintain, still<br />
haunts his father’s barbers’ shop on<br />
Oldham Road. Now a florist, this place is<br />
alleged to be the scene of tricks played<br />
on those alone in the shop, pushing them<br />
about in the room or, for some reason,<br />
slapping their behind! And then there is<br />
the strange story of ‘internal rain’ at a<br />
bungalow on Hill Top Close. The residents<br />
in the 1980’s were puzzled by regular<br />
flooding which occurred in their property<br />
although there was no sign of where it<br />
came from. A phantom coughing and the<br />
smell of smoke in the house continued to<br />
puzzle the occupants. Maybe they should<br />
have checked the lodger or called a plumber!<br />
Clegg Hall of course was the setting for<br />
a well-known Rochdale spook, and you<br />
should see last June’s Streetwise for the<br />
full story of the murder of nephews for<br />
an inheritance leading to ghostly shades<br />
appearing in the Hall’s rooms. Or consider<br />
the tale of Sir Bertine Entwistle who was<br />
killed fighting in the Wars of the Roses<br />
at St Albans but came back to tap on<br />
windows at Foxholes or walk the streets in<br />
clanking armour. Finally, there’s the<br />
Prickshaw spectre of Healey Dell where<br />
the spirits of a dead farmer and children<br />
are said to stand at the windows of what<br />
once were worker’s cottages, pointing at<br />
passers-by. A photograph was taken in<br />
the late 1980’s and certainly, strange<br />
translucent figures – a man wearing a<br />
smock and two children - are plainly<br />
looking out. This might have been a hoax<br />
except that a neighbour who saw the<br />
photograph said that a farmer and his two<br />
children had been killed in a fire at that<br />
same cottage many years before!<br />
There are more stories of Rochdale’s<br />
ghosts and poltergeists and we could<br />
be here all night telling them, but the<br />
candle is burning low and it’s time for<br />
bed. Think about the ghosts of Rochdale<br />
as you turn out the light tonight and<br />
…………. sleep well! Happy Christmas!<br />

Mayor Billy Sheerin said: “This has been a very special<br />
day for us all. We’ve been striving for years to be the<br />
category winner, but we’ve always been second best.<br />
“This year we have surpassed everyone, and I’m<br />
delighted for the township and all our supporters.<br />
It’s a massive team effort which cannot be won alone.”<br />
Roy Down, chairman of Rochdale In Bloom, said: “I’m on<br />
cloud nine; this is the best possible outcome for us.<br />
“I can’t put into words how utterly thrilled I am.”<br />
Paul Ellison, vice-chairman of Rochdale In Bloom, added: “A massive thank you goes out to all our<br />
sponsors, including the Co-op, H Bell and Sons and Rochdale Training.<br />
“A very special thank you goes to our partner, Rochdale Borough Council, whose Environmental<br />
Management team do so much in the town centre and on the route. They keep everything<br />
looking so wonderfully tidy and inviting with the planters and their displays.<br />
“We must also thank Rochdale Township, for their funding of certain community groups.”<br />
Rochdale In Bloom is a volunteer-led organisation consisting of various parties including Friends’<br />
of groups, local businesses, local residents and volunteers.<br />
North West in Bloom is the voluntary regional organisation that administers the Britain in Bloom<br />
competition. Britain in Bloom is one of the most effective, and longest running environmental<br />
competitions in the United Kingdom and each year it grows<br />
in size and importance and involves more people, groups and<br />
organisations within the community. Since 1964, communities<br />
from across the North West have demonstrated their ability<br />
to create and maintain attractive environments that benefit<br />
residents and visitors alike. This links directly to the RHS three<br />
key themes which are: Horticultural excellence, Community<br />
involvement and Environmental friendliness.<br />

MoSs Row CoMmunity<br />
ALlotments<br />
It was a cool, damp, misty, November morning but everyone who<br />
attended the Allotment working party were in a buoyant mood<br />
after receiving the results of this year’s R. H. S. North West in<br />
Bloom, It’s Your Neighbourhood Competition.<br />
The Allotments have again achieved a Level 5 Outstanding result.<br />
They are back on track after last year’s disappointing Level 4. Not only<br />
that, it was a surprise to learn that the Allotments have achieved level<br />
5 Outstanding, on 5 years of entries so have received a 5 years<br />
Outstanding award as well.<br />
Along with several new plot holders the tenants<br />
have shown great enthusiasm this year to improve<br />
the Allotments maintaining a high standard<br />
appreciated by the many visitors. This will continue<br />
next year with plans already in the making.<br />
Thanks must be given to the allotments Key<br />
Supporter Councillor James Gartside who<br />
attended the award Ceremony and received<br />
the awards on the Allotments behalf.<br />

It’s a Silver Gilt for<br />
Denehurst Park!<br />
Denehurst Park has scooped a<br />
top award at the biggest and most<br />
prestigious horticultural competition<br />
in the country, North West in Bloom.<br />
The park was entered into the RHS Park<br />
category for the first time this year by<br />
Rochdale in Bloom after the well visited<br />
community park wowed judges last year<br />
on the Rochdale judging route. It’s a fitting<br />
end to a 3-year transformation that has seen<br />
the introduction of new landscape features<br />
including the Monet bridges, as well as the<br />
restoration of the herbaceous garden and the<br />
new play area.<br />
The judges were especially impressed by<br />
the new ecological and sustainability<br />
features of the stumpery, wildflower planting<br />
schemes, wetland swale and fruit orchard.<br />
The involvement of local schools was as a<br />
real highlight of the park’s development with<br />
Meanwood Primary, Caldershaw Primary and<br />
Redwood Secondary schools all taking part<br />
in projects and events.<br />
This year the park also received its second<br />
Green Flag Award. This international award<br />
is the benchmark for parks across the<br />
country and is a testament to the hard work<br />
and dedication of the Friends group, local<br />
community and council. The park’s Green<br />
Flag can be seen flying at the park main<br />
entrance off Edenfield Road.<br />

Phil Starr, also of the Friends’ group, added:<br />
“We are thrilled that the judges have awarded us<br />
another top award and seen <strong>Norden</strong> Jubilee Park<br />
in its full glory. It’s overwhelming to be awarded<br />
yet another outstanding as well as being awarded<br />
an RHS Gold Park Award again. This really flies the<br />
flag high for <strong>Norden</strong>.”<br />
The award comes just days after the small and<br />
scenic park once again received the Royal<br />
Horticultural Society’s highest grade of<br />
‘Outstanding’ at the It’s Your Neighbourhood<br />

The regional North West in Bloom competition<br />
consists of two judging days. The first is a guided<br />
tour taking in areas of interest around Rochdale;<br />

projects that include local schools, allotments, health<br />
and well-being projects and conservation areas.<br />

<strong>Norden</strong> Remembers, Lest we Forget<br />
At 11am on Sunday 10th November 2019, members<br />
of the <strong>Norden</strong> community gathered to celebrate an<br />
act of remembrance at the Memorial Gardens on<br />
Edenfield Road. The gathering was the largest in<br />
recent years as Rev. Willis led the service and the<br />
names of the fallen were read aloud by children<br />
from local uniformed groups. As the last post rang<br />
out the gardens fell silent before wreathes were laid<br />
at the cenotaph.<br />
This years service was especially moving as, for the<br />
first time, an active member of the armed forces was<br />
present to lay a wreath and make a formal salute to<br />
the fallen. Many veterans were also present to<br />
remember friends and family.<br />
Displays of poppies had be laid around the<br />
memorial including knitted poppies from the WI<br />
and paintings from local children, and many more<br />
added crosses and crafted items.<br />
The service conclude with the national anthem and<br />
prayers.<br />

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS FROM YOUR LOCAL POLICE FORCE<br />
Unfortunately over the past<br />
two weeks the <strong>Bamford</strong><br />
and <strong>Norden</strong> areas have<br />
experienced burglaries where<br />
offenders have specifically<br />
targeted unoccupied<br />
properties primarily during the<br />
afternoon and early evening.<br />
In the majority of incidents<br />
the properties have been<br />
accessed via the rear by<br />
forcing entry/smashing<br />
window(s).<br />
WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND<br />
RESIDENTS OF THE FOLLOWING<br />
CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE:<br />
• Lock all doors and windows<br />
• Ensure all sheds and garages<br />
are locked<br />
• Make sure house alarms<br />
are on at night and when you<br />
go out.<br />
• Utilise light timers or leave<br />
lights on when you go out<br />
in the evening.<br />
• Inform neighbours if you’re<br />
going out for long periods<br />
or on holiday.<br />
• Ensure items of value are<br />
kept in a safe place.<br />
• Be vigilant to any suspicious<br />
activity.<br />
• Consider setting up a Home<br />
Watch Scheme or WhatsApp<br />
group.<br />
KEY INFORMATION<br />
With winter upon us, we need to remind residents to stay with<br />
their cars whilst defrosting them. Opportunist thieves will only<br />
take a second to gain entry and drive away with your vehicle if<br />
it is left unattended with the keys in the ignition.<br />
Dark Nights Campaign 2019<br />
Don’t forget to light up your house this winter and keep burglars well and<br />
truly out in the dark #alarmlockslights<br />
With the clocks changing on 26.10.19, now’s the time to make sure you<br />
leave your lights on to keep burglars out #alarmlockslights<br />
Leave burglars out in the cold this winter- make sure you light up your<br />
house, set your alarm and lock your doors #alarmlockslights<br />
As the weather starts to get colder and darker, remember to stay safe<br />
and keep windows and doors locked if you’re not in the house<br />
#alarmlockslights<br />
Vehicle Crime Information<br />
Theft from Motor Vehicle crimes occur more frequently in the run up to<br />
Christmas, we have seen a number in the Rochdale area recently. These<br />
include vehicles being left insecure, items of value being left on show<br />
and delivery vehicles whereby driver have been distracted and items then<br />
taken from within.<br />
Please can we remind residents to ensure your vehicle is locked and<br />
that items are hidden and not left on view or remove all items from your<br />
vehicle. Vehicle crime rises sharply on the build up to Christmas so don’t<br />
leave Xmas shopping items or coats/handbags/mobiles phones in your<br />
vehicle or on view.<br />
The area GMP Neighbourhood Team enquiries are ongoing, with both<br />
mobile and foot patrols being deployed when possible.<br />

FOR THE FORTH YEAR RUNNING<br />
PETRUS COMMUNITY STORE HAS<br />
A CHRISTMAS TREE ADORNED WITH GIFT TAGS<br />
Rochdale Social Care require 348 gifts for children of various<br />
ages, with a heavy heart I’m sad to say that the number has<br />
doubled from 2018.<br />
But that is not going to deter us as we managed to collect over 650 gifts last year!<br />
The gift tags have an age and gender of a child, e.g. boy age<br />
4, girl age 6. In previous years we had the child’s first name<br />
but Social Care has requested we do it this way for 2019.<br />
If you wish to get involved, please purchase a gift<br />
between the value of £5-£10. Please do not go<br />
above that amount as there can sometimes<br />
be 6 plus children in a family and it keeps it fair.<br />
Pop into the store anytime before 10th<br />
<strong>Dec</strong>ember so this allows time for the Social<br />
workers to get the gifts to their families<br />
ready for Christmas.<br />
Many thanks for all your help in<br />
the past, and here’s hoping we<br />
will succeed again this year.<br />

Friends of <strong>Bamford</strong> Update<br />
In September, work finally began on the new Woodland Walk,<br />
Community Garden and Wildflower meadow, planned for the<br />
overgrown and neglected area at the back of <strong>Bamford</strong> Green,<br />
opposite <strong>Bamford</strong> Precinct.<br />
This is a joint venture between Environmental Management and Friends of <strong>Bamford</strong>.<br />
It is a huge area, FOB can’t do it without EM help, but EM have no funding, so can’t do<br />
it without FOB help, so a partnership has been formed, under the guidance of an EM<br />
Project Manager. Plans have been drawn by FOB, approved by EM, and funding from<br />
various Council sources has been applied for by FOB.<br />
So far, only funding for the first part of the 3 stage plan has been obtained, which paid<br />
for contractors to partly clear the wood, and lay the paths. Already it looks much better.<br />
It was hoped that FOB volunteers would plant bluebell bulbs alongside these new paths<br />
and through the woods this Autumn, to bloom next Spring, but due to a combination of<br />
bad weather and red tape this has not yet been possible, though we live in hope that we<br />
may manage to get at least some planted before the first frosts make it impractical. If<br />
not there’s always next year.<br />
Funding for Stages 2 and 3 have been applied for, but not yet guaranteed, for work<br />
to re-commence next Spring. Next is Stage 2, which is tree work, top soil for actual<br />
garden, plants and seating area, to be followed by stage 3, which is the creation of<br />
wildflower meadow, and a children’s area with an animal bench, horizontal carved log,<br />
and large carved toadstools.<br />
All funding is dependant on the involvement of the people of <strong>Bamford</strong>, to help with such<br />
things as planting, yearly basic maintenance etc., in conjunction with EM. They will help<br />
us, work with us and do all they can, but cannot do it FOR us.<br />
If you can help on any level,<br />
from occasional planting,<br />
tidying, litter picking etc, to<br />
being involved on a more<br />
permanent basis with<br />
planning etc, please get<br />
in touch.<br />
