OPEN 7 DAYS - FREE PARKING - 100M FROM ASDA ROCHDALE
Welcome to our
October issue
This month we are pleased to welcome
a new update from Janet Pitman who is
the Reverend of St James’ Milnrow and
St Thomas’ Newhey so keep an eye out
in future issues for dates of services and
events taking place in the churches.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend, Milnrow held
the Milnrow Calling festival, with over a thousand
locals turning up to enjoy the live music, food
and drink stalls and tribute acts. Thanks to Andy
Kelly for providing a great write up of this event
and Alpha Photography for the fabulous photos.
A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY is 3rd September
2022 when next year’s festival will take place.
At 86, Milnrow resident, Gordon Aaron, is truly
inspirational and a local legend and on page 48
he writes about his involvement in the Milnrow
Library Walking Group whose walks feature in
the magazine every month. Along with numerous
charity walks and marathon runs, he is proof
that it’s never too late to improve your mind and
body! He even managed to squeeze in some
Streetwise delivery last year for which we are
incredibly grateful.
Until next month…

LOCAL AUTHOR PUBLISHES
HIS FIRST BOOK
My name is Michael Walsh-Rose, and I am a
twenty-four-year-old from Norden who has
just published my first book, The Island of
Palm Trees, which is now available as both
an eBook and a paperback on Amazon.
I started writing stories and scripts during my
teenage years and went on to specialise in
screenwriting at the Northern Film School.
Just before the pandemic, I started writing the first
chapter of The Island of Palm Trees, my first novel.
When lockdown began, I found myself with lots of
spare time and so I decided to dive headfirst into
the book. I was grateful for the distraction from
everything that was going on in the world at the time,
and because I had so much time,
I managed to get a first draft of the novel done much quicker than expected.
Reading the positive reviews that have been written about my book so far has been hugely
encouraging and a great reward for my hard work. I’m currently working on my second
novel, Night Shift, and recently started throwing some ideas around for a sequel
to The Island of Palm Trees.
WHAT’S THE PRICE OF INSPIRATION? TOM JENNINGS IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT
With dreams of writing his first novel, Tom travels to the Scarlett Grove Hotel in Roquetas
De Mar. His writing progresses steadily, aided by the interesting and unusual people he
meets beneath the Spanish Sun. People unlike anyone he’s ever met before.
A young thief hiding from her haunted past.
A grieving mother mourning the loss of her child.
An abusive husband fuelled by alcohol and rage.
A lonely woman desperate to keep hold of her families business.
A spoilt millionaire who’s never been told no.
An ego-driven drug dealer who controls the town.
With blood spilled and more danger looming just ahead, Tom forgets about his novel entirely.
Now the only thing that matters is escaping with his life.

ARE YOU FED UP WITH CLUTTER?
DO YOU NEED MORE STORAGE SPACE?
Well the answer could literally be under your own roof!
For many home owners, the loft is an underutilised area because it can be difficult and
dangerous to reach. Rochdale based loft ladder installer Access4Lofts (whose slogan is
‘creating space the easy way’) can change all that, often in less than a day!
Access4Lofts provides a free survey and quote service so you can find out what is
achievable with your loft area.
The majority of properties have an access hatch to the space in the loft. Access4Lofts create
space the easy and affordable way. They can supply and install a new loft hatch and a safe,
sturdy aluminium loft ladder in your home in just one day! That means that your dark and dismal
roof space suddenly becomes a useful storage area for all that family clutter. “My experience
enables fitting the ladder and converting the access hatch, in double-quick time the space is
accessible and I leave no mess behind” explains Jack Ellis, Access4Lofts Rochdale.
For extra peace of mind, Access4Lofts is an approved Which? Trusted Trader which
means they have been assessed by Which? and passed their stringent checks. For added
confidence, they also have full public liability insurance, are DBS checked, and all work
carried out comes with a Lifetime Guarantee
To find out how Access4Lofts can create more space for you and your family or

All our surfaces are low maintenance hard wearing as well as eco-friendly, and the fact
that they are fully suds compliant allows water to naturally drain through the surface.
We guarantee that they will add real kerb appeal to your property and there is plenty of
choice with over 45 colours available all complimented with a range of different edges, from
a simple block edge to a granite finish or a resin border. To compliment your installation,
we also offer all aspects of landscaping from retaining walls to artificial grass to a sleeper or
fence panels and all done by one company with no subcontractors.
Between us we have over 25 years of experience in the groundwork and landscaping
industry as well as the laying of resin bound surfaces.
We offer exceptional quality and value for money providing full design and a written
quotation. A project manager will work with you from the initial design to the completed job,
taking and sharing photos to show all aspects of the construction of the installation and giving
you added piece of mind that the work is being carried out to the correct procedure. We
appreciate certain driveway companies can leave a bad reputation in their wake, however

Milnrow Calling marks a
More than 1000 turn out for Milnrow music event
August Bank Holiday 2021 will go down by many as the weekend they went back ‘out-out’ in
our village as the first Milnrow Calling festival took place. Over a thousand party goers were
treated to a variety of acts for all the family. I was honoured to be invited to act as the MC for
the day and got to introduce some great acts on two stages on the cricket ground.
Opening the proceedings were Milnrow Community Choir who are always looking for new
members and rehearse at 7.30pm every Monday evening at the Cricket Club, and they were
followed by the highly energetic Loud Elite Competition Team Dancers. Both performances
certainly set the scene for what was to come later in the afternoon and evening. Involving
these two community groups in this way was a wonderful way of giving the participants the
opportunity to show off their considerable talents and gain experience and it also encouraged
their families and the rest of the audience to stay all day!
It’s more usual to see Ellie Sax playing to crowds of partygoers on the beach at sunset
than during the afternoon in a Greater Manchester cricket club! Fortunately, the organisers
managed to secure Ellie and her high tempo sax solos over a DJ backing really got the crowd
going early doors.
There were two local bands performing at the festival, a Celtic Rock band called
The Scattering (check out that bass player!) and 80s covers band New Identity. Both are five
piece set ups and are made up of local lads, but their styles couldn’t be more different.
The Scattering play Irish, folk, and country songs usually with a straight 4 beat and high
tempo, decorated with accordion and fiddle solos on top of vocal harmonies. New Identity are
an extremely tight electric rock pop band with punching synth parts and vocal work and the
80s pop classics allow both the guitar and bass shine with some familiar lines and riffs. It was
brilliant to see local bands celebrated locally.
There was a real family feeling to the day with food stalls, face painting, ice creams
and sweets and there was also a generous helping of cuteness in
the shape of the Disney Duo from Merseyside who treated a young
audience to a medley of classics from “The Mouse.”
Tribute acts are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are the staple of
small festivals like this, and they certainly work in bringing people
together. Stepping in to cover for a poorly Robbie Williams (tribute)
were the brilliant Runaway Killers, followed by The Courtbetweeners,
who are I’m reliably informed are the only Courteeners tribute act in
the country.
As the sun set, the whole event drew towards the main stage where
Freddie and the Queen experience were the perfect crowning act
to an extremely successful event.
Next year’s Milnrow Calling will take place on Sunday
3rd Sept 2022 and tickets can be purchased at

Update from
St Thomas’, Newhey
and St James’, Milnrow
One of the lovely things about being a vicar is that
there is a rhythm to life in the church which has been
the same for centuries. We celebrate our Harvest
festival at the end of September and then look towards
the season of Remembrance.
In the shops now though, everything seems to be
looking forward to Halloween with witches and ghosts
and pumpkins and all things scary! Now I know what
you’re thinking… ‘Halloween isn’t a Christian thing,
she’s going to be a killjoy and tell us it’s demonic or
something. Either that or she’s going to try and claim it
but take all the fun out of it.’
The word Halloween comes from ‘All Hallows Eve,’ the day
before the feast of All Hallows, which we now call All Saints
Day. It is a time of year when Christians remember those people
who have been faithful to their beliefs, often to the point of being
killed for them. All Saints Day is followed by All Souls Day when we
remember those, we love who have died.
So why is Halloween connected with so much scary stuff?
Some people believe it is due to an old belief that witches
could not cast spells between All Hallows and Christmas
so they would try and get all their wickedness done the
night before. Others think it comes from the pre-Christian
Celtic festival of Samhain when the space between this world
and the spirit world was thought to be at its thinnest. Perhaps it’s
just because, as the nights draw in and the cold weather comes,
people feel more vulnerable and have chosen to gather together
and try to scare their fears away.
Whatever the reason, Halloween has caught the popular imagination
to such an extent that it is now a commercial festival. We don’t celebrate
Halloween in our churches, we prefer to celebrate the Christian heroes and ordinary
loved ones whose days come straight after it, you are very welcome to join us at
Newhey Parish Church of St Thomas or at Milnrow Parish Church of St James
the Apostle.
Whatever you do this season, please be careful, think about those who live
alone and do not want to join in the fright fest. Watch over your children and
don’t encourage them to accept treats from strangers. After the year and a
half we’ve had let’s try to look out for everybody in our community.
Take care and God bless
Revd Janet Pitman

Spiced Blackberry Chutney
A great one for the fantastic crop of brambles in the hedgerows this year.
Great with cheeses and cold meats.
INGREDIENTS
2 red onions
Approx. 500g blackberries
About 4 apples
3cm raw ginger (grated)
1 tsp chilli flakes (or a chopped fresh chilli)
½ tsp mustard seeds
170g soft brown sugar
180ml red wine or cider vinegar
WI UPDATE:
METHOD
Bubble all ingredients up in a heavy
bottomed pan for about 50 minutes or until
a thicker, more chutney like consistency is
achieved. Put into sterilised jars and try to
leave for a couple
of months for the
flavours to mature.
On Tuesday 12th October at 7pm we will be holding our Annual Meeting. Guests are most welcome
- door fee of £3.50. It is likely that we will still be in our temporary venue of Littleborough Cricket Club,
but this will be confirmed nearer the time via our FB page.
Please drop us an email at milnrowwi@gmail.com if you would like more information on being
part of this MaD group (Milnrow and District)
Recommencement
of face-to-face
Area Forums
Now that life is returning to a more
normal pattern, many will have been
hoping that this would include the
reopening of Area Forums.
The Council’s Township and Communities
Manager has recently provided an update on
this issue.
The advice of the Infection Control Team (IC)
at the Council is that it is not yet appropriate
to hold Forums . There are concerns about a
possible spike in the infection rate coinciding
with the return of schools and colleges .
The advice of the IC team is driven by the
assessment of the science and the potential
risk to Officers and Forum attendees and
in particular the senior members of our
community. It would not be a desirable outcome
for someone to become unwell as a result of
attending a Forum.
The situation will be reviewed at the end of
September with a view to resuming Forums in
November.
This is not an ideal situation as Villagers have
been deprived of the opportunity to express
their views on several issues within a formal
setting for more than 18 months. I have asked
the Township Manager to consider using virtual
means to run Forums in the interim.
For instance, there are several planning and
infrastructure issues, including Places for
Everyone (GMSF 3,) which I am concerned that
local residents should be given an opportunity
to express their view on. Go to www.gmconsult.
org to find the current round of consultation on
the subject.
In the meantime, Officers in the Township Office
are still offering the same excellent service to
our community as they did pre-pandemic and
are contactable via the Council switchboard.
Our Local Councillors will shortly be resuming
their own surgeries and are available to assist
on many local issues or concerns.

Milnrow Library Walking Group
A walk from Milnrow Memorial
Park to Piethorne Nature
Reserve via Rough Bank.
Some of our Group did this walk recently. It is a
distance of 4 1/2 miles, with some gradual inclines
and stretches of rough stone pathways. Good
walking shoes or boots are recommended. OS sheet
SD 91 covers the walk area.
The Route
Leave Milnrow Memorial Park by the main gates, turn
right pass under the motorway bridge, and proceed
down Royds Street into Butterworth Hall.
Go past Newfield Head House until the lane becomes
a single track path which levels off to reveal a
magnificent panoramic view of the Rochdale and
Milnrow landscape stretching from Scout Moor, Brown
Wardle, Middle Hill and Hades Hill. The M62 motorway,
busy with traffic, extends on your left up to Winter Hill.
Continue along until his path divides, take the right
hand path over stone setts, again slippy when wet.
The path then widens and brings you to the steel
gated entrance of Rough Farm.
Turn right past the popular Waggon Inn (circa 1782)
and follow the Butterworth Hall Brook all the way up
Water Lane.
Proceed through the farm yard, then up the lane,
past cottages on the right and converted residences
Rough Bank Barn and white painted Higher Rough
Bank Farm on the left. However give special
attention to Rough Bank Farmhouse on the right.
On reaching Moy Hill take the underpass under the
M62 motorway, where you can observe an impressive
display of wall art. Continue up Newfield Head Lane,
the stone sett surfaces can be very slippy when wet,
so take great care.

This is dated 1607, it is a grade II listed building of
more than special interest. It is the oldest house, still
occupied, in the region, and was built only four years
after the death of Queen Elizabeth 1st (d.1603)
when King James 1st had come to the throne!
Descend the tarmac lane, round the hairpin bend,
then first left over the stone sett and cobble path, in
the direction of Ogden Reservoir.
Ascend the field path up to the top where there is a
capped mineshaft, and a stile onto the wide bridleway.
Go left, down this rough stone lane, but take care as
the surface has exposed bed rock followed by stone
setts which are very slippy when wet.
At the end of the wire fence take the stile left and
go up the narrow path with the shale mine working
spoil to the left, and the Piethorne Nature Reserve to
the right.
Follow this path between the field wall and Nature
Reserve, though in places, the path is littered with
loose stones and a fallen tree, until emerging at a
stile, with way marker sign, into an open field.
After passing Ashfield Farm, right, and Tunshill House,
left, proceed down Tunshill Lane, over the M62
Motorway Bridge and onto Kiln Lane. Return to the
Memorial Park via Pennine Drive, Butterworth Hall
and Royds Street.

ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO IMPROVE
YOUR MIND AND BODY
From January to July this year, I walked up on the tops
over Milnrow and achieved a total of 1000 miles to raise
funds for Veterans in the Community.
This is a very worthwhile organisation which helped me
immensely when I lost my wife last year whilst COVID was at its
peak, which included delivering meals to my door even on Xmas
Day! The task I set myself was my way of saying ‘thank you.’
I walked three to four hours every day but enjoyed the challenge
because I am a regular Walker with the Milnrow Library Walking Group. I recently climbed
Snowdon on my 86th birthday and I was over the moon on successfully reaching the
summit. However, it’s a true saying ‘no pain, no gain’! I am now in training to take part in the
Manchester Half Marathon in October.
Even though I walk a lot on my own, I look forward to every Monday morning at 9.30am when
I meet a great bunch of walkers in Milnrow Park including people like Geoff and Gwyneth who
kindly organise the Walking Group.
Once again please remember that if you look after your body, it will look after you and that
it’s never too late to improve your mind and body.

LATEST PROPERTY UPDATE
PROPERTY UPDATE
The property market is currently facing its
biggest shortage in new listings for six years
... with family homes becoming increasingly
difficult to come by.
LISTINGS 26% LOWER THAN LAST YEAR
Property portal Zoopla has reported that the property market is
facing the worst shortage in fresh listings since 2015.
While buyer demand remains strong, stock levels are down
more than 26% compared to last year’s average, which has
left prospective buyers battling it out for the most in-demand
properties.
And these supply issues are hitting homes priced up to £350,000
the hardest.
The mismatch between supply and demand has also been the
key trigger in property price hikes in many parts of the country.
Year-on-year, property prices grew by 6% in July and the average
value of a home across the UK is now £234,000.
The surge in prices is expected to start to wane in certain areas,
as te ipact o te stap duty oliday files out and te
Government withdraws packages such as the furlough scheme.
In summary, with demand at a peak, now is still a fantastic time
