OPEN 7 DAYS - FREE PARKING - 100M FROM ASDA ROCHDALE

Welcome to our

August/September

issue

Councillor Andy Kelly is a keen member

of Whitworth Amateur Dramatics and on

pages 42 and 43 there are some fabulous

photos from a recent production of

Oklahoma in which he was involved.

At the time of writing this, the temperatures are

soaring outside, and people are being advised

to stay indoors and stay cool. So, Rev’d Janet

Pitman’s article about the weather on page

44 got us thinking about weather extremes in

this country and the fact that we often grumble

about the cold and wet as well as extremely hot

temperatures which we are experiencing at the

moment – there seems to be no happy medium!

Gary Heywood Everett has sent us another

great article on Street and Playground Games

played by local children in Rochdale over the

years – Hide and Seek, What Time is it Mr

Wolf? and Kiss Catch to name but a few!

Thanks to the Milnrow WI who have supplied

a delicious Raspberry Sorbet recipe to try,

particular welcome at the moment!

Look out for the October issue dropping through

your letterbox around the end of September.

We wish you all a happy and safe Summer.

Until next time…

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

here at Superior Resindrives customer satisfaction is our utmost priority.

We can guarantee that Superior Resindrives are designed and installed to stand the test

of time so give us a call today for your free no obligation design and quotation.

Building Sustainable Communities,

Protecting Our Green Belt

– the Places for Everyone Myth?

We are moving rapidly towards

the Public Inquiry in to Places

for Everyone (PfE), the latest

grand plan from the unelected

and barely accountable Greater

Manchester Combined Authority

(GMCA).

It is to be hoped that the Public Inquiry

process will provide an opportunity for

significant amendments, to this proposal,

and for common sense to prevail, as the

plan moves forward.

Why are significant amendments

needed, you may ask – here are a

few reasons:

Calculations: -

The numbers used to justify the whole PfE

scheme are seriously out of date. Brexit,

Covid lockdown and recovery, the war in

Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis, mean

that a comprehensive review using up to

date data is required before the viability

of any such strategy can be assessed.

Democratic Deficit: -

The originating documents for the GMSF

(the precursor to PfE) made it clear that

such a proposal could only move forward

with the unanimous agreement of all

ten Local Authorities within the GMCA.

The proposal was rejected by one of

those Authorities, but the GMCA chose to

charge on regardless- why was this?

Approach To Green Belt; -

The whole approach to developing on

Green Belt within PfE is fundamentally

flawed, and this is of prime importance

to communities in the Rochdale Borough

and throughout the whole of Greater

Manchester. In the case of Rochdale, the

vast majority of entities asked to bring

forward development proposals were

house builders and developers, and

few other bodies were asked to outline

schemes. How surprising is it therefore

that the vast majority of housing sites

brought forward for consideration are

in Green Belt? Large house builders will

40

always favour developing on Green

Belt because doing so reduces risk

and maximises profits for cash-hungry

enterprises. The above goes some way to

explaining how and why schemes which

will destroy large swathes of local Green

Belt, have been incorporated in PfE.

The idea that “new additions to Green

Belt” incorporated in PfE offset the loss

of existing Green Belt is spurious at best;

what is lost, in many cases, is prime

agricultural land or recreational space

– this is to be replaced with low grade

space of little agricultural or recreational

value. How is this a proportionate

response to a serious loss of resource?

The protections afforded to Green Belt

land are made clear in the National

Planning Policy Framework, particularly

paragraph 147, which states, in relation to

Green Belt:

“Inappropriate development is, by

definition, harmful to the Green Belt and

should not be approved except in very

special circumstances.”

The caveat of “very special

circumstances” is an important exception

to a rule. In numerous cases, Authorities

have construed the maximisation of

Council Tax revenue as a very special

circumstance which overrides any

other detriment or harm caused by

development.

Sustainable Development: -

PfE is littered with development proposals

which do little or nothing to develop and

nurture local communities. Throughout

the document there are schemes which

maximise housing density but fail to add

to the stock of doctors, dentists, schools,

shops, community facilities and public

open spaces. Why is this? Does the

detracts from the profits of builders, or

is it that Planners are so eager to reach

housing targets that other provisions are

not a priority?

The planning system allows developers to

escape the provision of desirable facilities,

on site, by providing a financial sum in

lieu, for use by the local community. This

is known as a Section 106 provision. In a

number of cases, both within Rochdale

and beyond, developers have agreed at

the Committee stage that this provision is

required, only to invent spurious reasons

for non-payment, upon completion. PfE, in

its current form does nothing to address

this issue, so communities will still be

deprived of much needed facilities.

Affordable Housing: -

This is a key part of sustainable

development for vibrant communities,

which is absent, in many cases, from

local PfE proposals. Without genuinely

affordable dwellings for the children of

our residents, how are we supposed to

develop and perpetuate a durable sense

of community amongst residents?

Not The Full Picture; -

The PfE proposals do not tell the full story

of future housing need or provision.

Individual Authorities will still have the

freedom to develop and bring forward

schemes which are not part of PfE. On

that basis, we will all need to pay close

attention to those additional schemes to

get the full picture.

A number of local individuals, interest

groups and elected representatives have

registered themselves as participants

in the Public Inquiry process and it is

to be hoped that their contributions

will be reflected in the Inspectors final

recommendations.

answer lie in the fact that such provision

Whitworth-Oklahoma!

Whitworth AMDS production has

a fresh take on a classic musical

There’s some debate as to what the

first recognisable ‘Book Musical’ was,

some claim Showboat and others

Oklahoma!

The latter certainly contains more

songs which drive the story and has

more memorable ones in my opinion.

Oklahoma! Is often put in the same

basket as other “Cowboy Musicals” but

it is distinctly different. Annie Get Your

Gun and Calamity Jane around 1875

and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in

in the 1850s.

Oklahoma is set in 1906, some thirty to

fifty years later than the others, and the

world had changed in that time. There

had been three Olympic games, the

car and telephone have been invented,

electric street lighting and household

heating was common in cities, and we

were only eight years away from World

War One.

Technology was advancing quickly,

and the world was becoming smaller.

The USA already had 45 states by this

point and Edward VII was into the

fifth year of his reign after the death

of his mother Queen Victoria.

When you arrive at the venue

(St John’s Hall in Whitworth), the

festoon lights guide you to the door

where two (real) horses greet you

and you immediately know you’re

in for something special.

The festoon lighting and giant moon

shine down inside the hall which is

decorated like a barn complete with

straw bales and wooden benches.

Rather like the front seating at the

Royal Exchange, those on the front

seats are up front and personal and

actually join in the action in Act two.

Oklahoma is based on the 1930 play

“Green Grow the Lilacs” by Lynn Riggs

and was written just 24 years after the

events. In context, that’s the same as a

current west end play or tv show being

set in 1998. In fact, think Derry Girls for

historical setting.

And WAMDS tackled this

production with an energy

and personality like no other.

All the principals were great

characters, and they were

believable. You could see,

hear, feel (and if on the bales)

smell the action. Every word,

ye haw and dance step was

delivered with aplomb and

supported by a lively young

company of farmers and

cowgirls.

42


Special mention has to go the actor

playing Jud Fry though. Every other

production of Oklahoma! I’ve seen

plays him as big brute of a bad guy.

Not here. I actually felt sorry for the

bullied farmhand. He was played with

a delicate pathos that had me rooting

for him in the final scene.

Photographs courtesy of Martin Ogden

Oklahoma! has a lot to say about

attitudes, outsiders, sexual and moral

values, as well as mental health and

yet has somehow become a pastiche

for a safe, boring musical. I don’t

believe that is the case and it certainly

wasn’t the case in the Whitworth

production.

Update from St Thomas’, Newhey

and St James’, Milnrow

Isn’t it funny how the weather affects us?

For most people in this country, the mere sight of the sun

and we cheer up considerably. Our problems seem less and

we tell ourselves that things would be so much better if only

the weather would stay like this. Of course, if it is hot and

sunny for more than a few days we change our minds and

start grumbling about having to work in the heat and not

sleeping well!

Now I know that there is such a thing as ‘seasonally affected

disorder’, a condition that means that some people are badly

affected by the dark days of winter. I had a colleague who

had to move to a brighter part of the country because he

became quite ill working winters in Oldham (no wisecracks about our neighbours, please!).

For most of us we don’t really think about the weather and the time of year when it comes to

our health but I believe we should.

In times past people lived much closer to the land than we do now. Before electric lights and

central heating people would naturally go to bed earlier in the winter than the summer.

They would spend more time outdoors in the summer months and they would eat the fruit

and vegetables that were in season (as well as preserving some for leaner times). There were,

of course, people who suffered from mental ill health then too but not, it seems, to the same

extent as now. It is no secret that fresh air and exercise is good for people’s wellbeing, as is rest

and relaxation.

We are lucky that we are protected from the worst of the weather by modern technology.

Sometimes we don’t appreciate it until we have a power cut, a leak in the roof or we have to cut

back to afford the bills. We need to be careful though. We are seeing the damage we can do to

the environment when we don’t think about it. We waste food and power, we create mountains

of rubbish that we don’t know how to dispose of safely – not on purpose but without thinking

about how our actions affect the world around us.

God created a beautiful world that works impressively well because everything fits together

and we all depend on each other but humankind has become too far removed from the system.

God intended for us to be part of this creation, as stewards and carers of the good things it has

to offer not users and destroyers.

They say the British talk too much about the weather but I think, if we paid a little more

attention to the weather and the seasons and tried to stay part of God’s world instead of just

living off it, we would be happier and healthier all year round.

I hope the weather is to your liking this summer, enough sunshine to play outside (or garden,

or just sit) and enough rain to avoid a hosepipe ban and let’s try and tread lightly on our earth

so there can be many more happy summers in the future.

From The Archives

Starting street

games and

deciding who

was ‘on’ was

always an

interesting thing

to do. Round my

way in Milnrow

we used to do

‘One potato’ but

first say ‘Spuds

up’ which meant that in a circle the

children would put up their fists.

The ‘counter’ would start by counting

themselves (touching your own mouth

was the way to do that) and then go

round the raised spuds (fists) until

someone was left. The counting would

be ‘One potato, two potato, three potato,

four, five potato, six potato, seven potato

- MORE.’ This hand would be removed,

and the rhyme started again. Whoever

had a fist left at ‘MORE’ was ‘on’ at

whatever game was taking place. In some

towns the counter was known as the

‘dipper’ and this style of deciding who is

‘on’ takes on different forms throughout

the world. For example in Scotland the

rhyme is ‘Olicka, bolicka, Susan solicka,

Olicka bolicka, NOB.’

Of course one of the most popular of

street games was Hide and Seek. Whilst

one person counts (often to 100 in 5’s)

the others run away and hide. After

counting, the seeker often used to shout

‘Coming ready or not!’ and go to look

for everybody. (In Leicestershire they

STREET GAMES

it was my thumb, I give you all a warning,

And here I come!’) Each child caught, had

to stay with the catcher until everybody

was caught. This game could go on for

some time especially if the others were

well hidden. If the game had to be ended

early – children might have been called

home – the seeker would sometimes

call ‘All in! All in!’ and the game was

prematurely completed.

Then there was ‘What time is it Mr Wolf?’

This game involves one child (the wolf)

walking along the street with the other

children following behind. The children

then cry out ‘What time is it Mr Wolf’ and

the wolf says (for example) ‘Five O’clock.’

At that, the group of children get a bit

nearer the back of the wolf. The question

is asked again and the wolf makes up

another time of day. At one point though,

the answer comes from the wolf ‘Dinner

Time!’ and the wolf turns quickly and

tries to catch one of the children who is

then the wolf and everyone goes back

to the start. Similar games are played

throughout Europe and beyond. In Cairo

they shout ‘O Wolf, O Wolf, where are

you going?’ and the wolf eventually

answers ‘To Eat you Up!’ as they chase

the children.

One game which brought the sexes

together of course was Kiss Catch. This

was a variation on the game of tig with

the addition of boys chasing girls or vice

versa and when caught they gave the

other a kiss. In the Opie’s research for

their book on children’s games, one girl

shouted ‘I hold my little finger, I thought said that ‘according to who’s chasing

46


you, sometimes you run fast, sometimes

you hardly run at all.’ I recall that if you

wanted to call a halt to any ‘tig’ game

like this you could put up your thumbs

and say ‘Barley’ which may have been a

corruption of ‘Parlez’ or a wish to talk or

negotiate.

One game more often played by girls than

boys was ‘Queenieo-coco.’ This involved

one child being ‘it’ who threw a small

ball behind her so that someone (unseen)

would catch it. The ball would then be

hidden behind someone’s back and the

person ‘on’ turns round.

The larger group, often in a line, then

chanted ‘Queenieo-coco who’s got

the ball? I haven’t got it. It isn’t in my

pocket, Queenieo-coco who’s got the

ball?’ A person is picked as having the

ball and if correct stays as ‘Queenie’ but

if a wrong girl is picked, the one who

was successful in hiding it takes her

place. In Lincoln a similar game is called

‘Ellabella, Cinderalla’ but is played in

more or less the same way.

Whilst the girls were playing Queenieococo,

the boys, somewhere where there

was a grassy place might be playing

‘Split the Kipper.’ Although seeming

dangerous, this was a popular game

played with a knife, often a sheath knife.

Two boys would face each other with feet

together and one would throw the knife

and make it stick into the ground within

a few inches off the other boy’s foot. This

boy would then have to stretch out his leg

and put his foot where the knife landed.

It was his turn then and the stretch

between the legs established for both.

If you threw the knife between the legs of

the other boy you could start again. This

was ‘splitting the kipper’. If one of them

couldn’t stretch to put his foot where the

knife landed or fell over when trying,

they lost. Stories of mill-lads playing

this game with spindles sends a chill

down the spine but they would have been

wearing clogs!

A less dangerous and mixed gender

contest involved lolly sticks. After eating

an ice lolly, the wooden sticks could be

used in competition. One child held their

stick horizontally between both hands

whilst the opposing child whacked the

stick with their stick, holding it with a

stiff index finger for strength.

If the other child’s stick didn’t break, it

was their ‘go’ and this continued until

one of the sticks broke under a hit. A

similar contest but without lolly sticks

was ‘Knuckles’ where children (usually

boys) would face off one fist against

another. Having ‘goes in turns,’ each

would try to strike the other’s knuckle

although if you moved your fist quickly

you could avoid being struck. The loser

was the one who gave in first or the bell

or whistle went to end playtime!

If you have any memories or comments about Street or Playground games, I’d be

delighted to hear from you and add them to a growing Rochdale archive on the subject.

Milnrow Library Walking Group

Milnrow Memorial Park

to Jubilee Colliery Workings

and Higher Park and return

via Dunwood Park

Leave Milnrow Memorial Park by heading uphill to

the right of the Cenotaph and exiting the park onto

the footpath leading to Bradley Lane. Continue along

this path onto Church Lane and passing St Thomas’s

Church on your left and then the School on your right.

At the bottom of the hill turn left onto Huddersfield

Rd. Walk along the road for a short distance before

turning right into Haugh Lane.

Continue along Haugh Lane bearing left into Haugh

Fold. Walk through Haugh Fold and turn first right,

immediately after a row of terraced houses, into a

lane with a sign for No Through Road.

Take this footpath (which depending on the time of

year can become very overgrown in places) down

the hill to its junction, bearing sharp right then sharp

left, to join a track that leads downhill to the former

Jubilee Colliery Workings.

Follow this track as far as the Level Crossing turning

left just before the crossing gate.

Follow this lane uphill to Top O’th Hill Farm, continue

past the farm buildings then turn right and pass

through the farmyard to the public footpath at the far

end of the yard. There is a stile to the right of the gate.

Walk a short distance along this track and take the

first footpath off to your left, there is a blue container

visible on your right which serves as a good marker

for this footpath.

Continue along this path which does take you back in

the direction that you have just come before bearing

to the right, bringing you to a set of steps.

48


Keep on along this footpath which has further steps

along it. Eventually you will cross another path to

reach a stile that leads onto a footpath between two

fields that takes you out onto Higher Park. Please

remember to close all gates behind you.

Turn to your right and follow this lane downhill.

At the bottom of the hill cross Milnrow Road bearing

slightly right to enter Dunwood Park Courts.

Once over the bridge turn to your right and enter

Dunwood Park. Walking through this lovely park you

will pass by a bowling green and tennis courts before

also passing by the cafe and toilets. It is often well

worth taking a few minutes to enjoy a refreshing

“cuppa” (or an ice-cream on a hot day) before

continuing on your way through the park.

At the far end of the park you will exit along a cobbled

path to its junction with Milnrow Road. Cross over the

road and go to your right, crossing over the bridge

before turning left (immediately before the former

Jubilee Pub) to walk through the former Colliery

workings and along the track to the level crossing

gate, turn left through the gate and carefully cross

the tramlines to rejoin Milnrow Rd. Bear right at this

point and continue towards Milnrow until you reach

a former mill complex where you will turn right down

the short slope then turning left and right to come out

onto Two Bridges Road.

Turn right here and follow the road over the tram track

before turning left into Railway Street. At the end of

this street cross Huddersfield Road and make your

way up the steps alongside the School. At the top

of the steps turn left and follow the road up past the

Church and onto Bradley Lane to re-enter Milnrow

park and return to the starting point.

Gweneth Smith

Walk Leader

Continue along this road and bearing left, then right

to leave the estate using the passage between the

houses onto Bridge St.

Turn right at this point and cross over the tramlines

using the footbridge.

Milnrow Library Walking Group

A TRIP TO LLANDUDNO

Members of Milnrow Walking Group

along with some of their friends

recently enjoyed a visit by coach

to Llandudno.

The group met outside the Moonspinners pub

to wait for the coach which arrived on time, and

we left Milnrow well prepared with waterproof

jackets, strong walking shoes and packed

lunches ready for a good day out.

After a steady journey, our driver Robert pulled

up into the coach parking area and we all split

up into small groups to go our various ways.

Several groups headed into a nearby retail

park to avail themselves of the facilities and

refreshments on offer before setting out for

their walks.

The fitter and more energetic walkers set off to

walk up, around, and back down Great Orme.

Some groups went up Great Orme on the Tram

and walked down using various routes. Whilst

others went up and down on the tram or walked

partway down before getting the tram for the

rest of the journey.

On arrival at the top of Great Orme, we

disembarked the tram to be met with blustery

wind and showers, but this didn’t stop our

intrepid group from finding somewhere

sheltered to eat their packed lunches or a hot

drink at the cafe on the summit.

On return to sea level, we were met with warm

sunshine encouraging many to go for a walk

along the promenade. There was also time

for some to visit the shops or go for a coffee

before meeting up with the coach.

One pair of intrepid walkers set out to walk

across the town to the West Beach and then

returned by walking round the bottom of

the ‘Orme’ with time to have a coffee before

rejoining the group on the coach.

The conversations on the return journey were

very lively, with group members sharing their

experiences - how windy it had been, how cold

the wind was on the summit, the driving rain,

the lovely warm sunshine on the promenade,

beautiful views, the gulls on the promenade

especially the one with the big mouth and of

course the big question - When and Where will

the next trip be!

The return journey went well until we reached

the Greater Manchester area where we were

met with traffic jams. However, our driver took

it nice and steady and coped with the traffic

build up with great patience getting us back to

Milnrow safely although a little bit later

than planned.

It was a particularly good day out enjoyed by

everyone and we extend our grateful thanks to

Barry who organized the trip, the driver Robert

and to the walk leaders without whom this

group wouldn’t function.

Gweneth Smith (Walk Leader)

Sadly, we recently lost one of our walk

leaders in a tragic accident whilst he and his

wife were on holiday. John was a cheerful and

enthusiastic member of the group, and he will

be greatly missed by all the walking group.

RIP John.

Our condolences, thoughts and prayers

go out to his family.


IN THE GARDEN

GARDENING TIPS AND ADVICE

FOR AUGUST

1. Keep lavender bushes neat and tidy by trimming after flowering but take care not to cut back

into the old wood as this could kill it off.

2. Hoe beds and borders regularly to get rid of annual weeds, like bitter cress and chickweed.

3. Now is an ideal time to take cuttings from certain plants like fuchsias, salvias and

pelargoniums. Once rooted, place in small individual pots and try to keep them cool, relatively

dry and in full light.

4. Check your hanging baskets and containers regularly for faded blooms and foliage,

and dead head where necessary to prolong flowering.

5. Save seeds from the seed heads of hardy annuals, perennials, bulbs,

rock plants, trees and shrubs. Growing plants from seeds you have

collected is fantastically rewarding; collect when nearly ripe – just as

they are turning brown. Snip them off, put them in a paper bag,

label and hang somewhere cool, dark and dry.

6. Harvest blackberries, raspberries, loganberries, apricots, early apples

and pears.
