VindobonaNorikum4 + The Omen (1976) - Gregory Peck - Little Devil Goes to the Church + Howe Bridge is a suburb of Atherton, Greater Manchester, England.. Historically within Lancashire, it is situated to the south west of Atherton town centre on the B5215, the old turnpike road from Bolton to Leigh.. The settlement was built as a model village for the owners of Atherton Collieries..This Victorian village on either side of Leigh Road, together with St Michael and All Angel's Church, is a conservation area..After the pit closed Lancashire United Transport built a garage and bus repair works on the site...

John Fletcher of Bolton, a member of a family with mining interests, came to Atherton in 1768 to sink 2 shafts.. Ralph Fletcher was part-owner in the Ladyshore Colliery.. The pits developed and Fletcher, Burrows and Company's Atherton Collieries was formed in 1870, owing all the coalmines in the town. Howe Bridge Colliery employed 460 men in 1954.. In 1908 the Howe Bridge Mines Rescue Station opened on Lovers Lane. It was the first mines rescue station in Lancashire..A school and mission opened at Howe Bridge in the Atherton parish in 1869. St Michael and All Angels Church was built in 1877 as a result of the late Victorian urbanisation which occurred when the small settlement on the road from Atherton to Leigh became a pit village when deep mining began at Howe Bridge Colliery.. The church was designed by Paley and Austin of Lancaster, and the £7,000 cost was given by John Fletcher...

Fred Dibnah How to climb a chimney overhang at 50+
Chimney Rock is a prominent geological rock formation in Morrill County in western Nebraska. Rising nearly 300 feet (91 m) above the surrounding North Platte River valley, the peak of Chimney Rock is 4,226 feet (1,288 m) above sea level.. During the middle 19th century it served as a landmark along the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Mormon Trail...

Doru Paiusan + Chim Chim Cher-ee ...

Rooftops And Chimneys 10 X 7 15 5 X 12 5 325 00


A chimney sweep is a worker who clears ash and soot from chimneys. The chimney uses the pressure difference caused by a hot column of gas to create a draught and draw air over the hot coals or wood enabling continued combustion.. Chimneys may be straight or contain many changes of direction.. During normal operation a layer of creosote builds up on the inside of the chimney restricting the flow.. The creosote can also catch fire, setting the chimney and the building alight.. The chimney must be swept to remove the soot.. This was done by the master sweep...
The Felling Colliery (also known as Brandling Main) in Britain, suffered 4 disasters: 1812, 1813, 1821 and 1847.. By far the worst of the four was the 1812 diaster which claimed 92 lives on 25 May 1812.. The loss of life in 1812 disaster was one of the motivators for the development of the miners' safety lamp...

Child Labour in the Victorian England and Wales a workhouse, colloquially known as a spike, was a place where those unable to support themselves were offered accommodation and employment.. The earliest known use of the term dates from 1631, in an account by the mayor of Abingdon reporting that "wee haue erected wthn our borough a workehouse to sett poore people to worke"..
If you were a child from a poor family at the beginning of the Victorian times, you worked and worked and worked Children worked very long hours with little breaks and no fresh air...They often worked in very dangerous conditions resulting in injuries or even death..Very young children were expected to work..There was no Education for the poor, so it was very unlikely they could get better paid jobs when they were older..Pixiecherries + Best pillow fight in history! Chimney Sweep vs Miller ...


The Poor Law Act of 1388 was an attempt to address the labour shortage caused by the Black Death, a devastating pandemic that killed about 1-3rd of England's population.. The new law fixed wages and restricted the movement of labourers, as it was anticipated that if they were allowed to leave their parishes for higher-paid work elsewhere then wages would inevitably rise. According to historian Derek Fraser, the fear of social disorder following the plague ultimately resulted in the state, and not a "personal Christian charity", becoming responsible for the support of the poor. The resulting laws against vagrancy were the origins of state-funded relief for the poor..These 3 poisons are considered to be the cause of suffering (Sanskrit: dukkha)..Of these 3, ignorance is the root poison.. From ignorance, attachment and aversion arise..The 3 poisons are represented in the hub of the wheel of life as a pig, a bird, and a snake (representing ignorance, attachment, and aversion, respectively)...

Mijmijrm + Skids - Into the Valley...

The name Walkden or Walkeden derives from the Old English denu, a valley, belonging to a man possibly called Wealca (fuller), an Old English personal name.. It has been in existence since at least the 13th century.. The name was recorded in documents dating to 1246..A Roman road crossed the area roughly on the line of the present A6 road through Walkden and Little Hulton.. In 1313 in a dispute involving land, a jury decided that Walkden was too small to be considered a hamlet or a town but was "only a place in Farnworth".. In the 15th century Walkden appears to have covered a wider area than at present, spreading into Farnworth and Little Hulton.. In 1765 'Walkden Moor' was the subject of a parliamentary Enclosure Act..The Duke of Bridgewater was the biggest landowner in 1786, owning over half the land...

The Ellesmere Centre had a clock-tower which is a replica of the Lady Bourke Clock which once stood by the NCB Offices in Bridgewater Road. It was taken down when the Tesco store was erected. The original clock was used to alert coal miners to the beginning or end of their shifts. The workers claimed that they could not hear the clock strike once at 1 o'clock to mark the end of dinnertime and the resumption of the working day and it was altered to strike 13 times at 1.00pm, a tradition continued by the replica clock.. The opening lines of George Orwell's '1984' refer to the clock striking 13 which might have been inspired during his time in the area writing 'The Road to Wigan Pier'...

Blackleach Country Park covers 50 hectares half mile north of the town centre. The site is a designated local nature reserve. The reservoir was originally used by factories.. The derelict and badly polluted site was crossed by a disused railway line and next to a chemical waste tip.. It was reclaimed and restored after a community campaign..St John's Church was founded in 1876 in Walkden although most of its parish is in Little Hulton, it is part of the Walkden & Little Hulton Team Ministry..Salford College, a vocational post-16 college, has its main facilities located in Walkden at its Worsley Campus on Walkden Road, close to the railway station...
The Norwegian heavy water sabotage was a series of actions undertaken by Norwegian saboteurs during World War II to prevent the German nuclear energy project from acquiring heavy water (deuterium oxide), which could be used to produce nuclear weapons..Heavy water, formally called deuterium oxide or 2 H 2O or D2O, is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, (also known as "heavy hydrogen") rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water..The Baker nuclear test at Bikini Atoll in July 1946 was a shallow underwater explosion, part of Operation Cross-roads...

Do they look happy - They are around 11 or 12 years old and already working in a foundry. In this case, Prestwich Parkers' Foundry in BAG Lane, Atherton in around 1890..After toiling in the oppressive heat and din of such a place, they were probably glad to have their picture taken outside to be in the stale air for a few minutes + How many of them survived the ravages of Tuberculosis or the First World War or the Inevitable Coal Mines...

ARA Parker (P-44) is the 4th ship of the MEKO 140A16 Espora series of 6 corvettes built for the Argentine Navy..The Fort Parker massacre was an event in May 1836 in which members of the pioneer Parker family were killed in a raid by Native Americans..In all, 5 men were killed, some were left for dead, 2 women and 3 children were captured, and the rest escaped into the wilderness.. A "camelback" is a subset of the Parker type, where the upper chord consists of exactly 5 segments.. An example of a Parker truss is the Traffic Bridge in Saskatoon, Canada.

AGECROFT MEMORIAL GARDEN DEDICATION AND MINERS REUNION

Saturday April 26th
Agecroft Garden Dedication noon, Agecroft Road
Agecroft Miners' Reunion, Swinton Royal Legion

Last July, hundreds of people flocked to the former site of Agecroft Colliery for the unveiling of a monument for those who worked, were injured or died at the Salford pit. On April 26th, there's going to be the dedication of the memorial garden at the base of the monument, followed by a reunion of former Agecroft miners at the Swinton Royal Legion.

Full details here…

Agecroft Colliery ceased production in 1990 and was the last pit in the Irwell Valley. Over the last year there have been timely events to commemorate those who worked, were injured or died at the Salford colliery.

Last July hundreds of people attended the unveiling of a monument in an emotional ceremony (see previous Salford Star article – click here), while in September there was a week long exhibition at St Augustine's Church, aka the Miners' Cathedral, together with films, oral histories and the launch of The Last Pit In The Valley book by former miner Paul Kelly (see here and see here).

April 26th will see the dedication of a Memorial Garden at the base of the monument which will be blessed by Canon Wyatt from Salford, with traditional mining music by the North Ashton Prize Band from Wigan and the Salford MAPAS Community Choir.

A plaque will be also be unveiled, revealing the names of all those who died at Agecroft Colliery in pursuit of the nation's coal, and there will be a ceremonial planting of two rose bushes in memory those who died whilst working at the mine.

Later in the evening, a reunion of Agecroft miners is being held at the Swinton Royal British Legion and all former Colliery employees, their families and friends are invited to attend.

Saturday April 26th
Agecroft Garden Dedication, Agecroft Road, Pendlebury
The event commences at noon on and all attending are requested to assemble from 11:30 am at the roundabout close to the former Colliery entrance.

Agecroft Miners' Reunion, Swinton Royal British Legion, Cheetham Road, Swinton, M27 4UQ.
