PAST AGES OFPartTHE PEAK 13 – Victorian Life During the long reign of Queen Victoria (1837– 1901), much of the nation’s progress was reflected here in the Peak District, contributing to and benefitting from advances in all fields of life. We even enjoyed a short-lived gold rush when in 1854 small quantities of gold were found in a Lathkill Dale lead mine. Several mining companies took a keen interest and investors in the mine saw their £1 shares leap to £30. Those who sold out then were the only ones to make a profit from Peakland gold – hopes for worthwhile extraction faded to nothing. Unfortunately, one ageold local industry was in decline through the latter

part of the 19th century; employment in our lead mines decreased ten-fold and many ancient mines were abandoned. One profitable exception was Mill Close at Darley, reopened in 1859 and seven years later the first lead mine to install electricity. Some smaller mines, including the Ecton copper mines, continued working by candle-power, using locally made candles from small factories as at Monyash, Winster and Stoney Middleton – produced into the 20th century, as was the essential candle-wick from Kettleshulme. Cornmills, often occupying ancient milling sites, operated along virtually every Peak District river throughout the

1800s. One innovation was the introduction of rollers at Caudwell’s Mill, Rowsley in the 1880s. Fragments of the 100 h.p. waterwheel that powered Lumford Mill from 1827 are preserved at Bakewell Old House Museum, which also holds samples of ornamental leatherwork, a rare cottage industry special to Stanton in Peak. Gunpowder and red tape The Longnor region was noted for its leather saddlery. Busy tanneries also operated at the grandly titled ‘Skinners Hall’ at Edale, with others at Grindleford, Bradwell and Bakewell – where 37 shoemakers were listed in the 1830s. Apparently nothing went to waste. Mills at Sheldon ground animal bones for fertilizer, cowhorn was made into combs at Brough mill, while finer examples in tortoiseshell were produced at Ashford and Bonsall. Coarse brown paper came from Outseats, with other working papermills at Rowarth and Hayfield. Still in business at Fernilee was a gunpowder mill whose output reputedly helped to sink the Armada. More refined needs were catered for in the smallscale production of opera glasses, spectacles and

telescopes from a Bradwell business founded in 1862. Textiles branched off into specialised industries, with a worldwide demand for coloured scarves and handkerchiefs woven at Eyam, a wide range of narrow fabrics - including from Wirksworth vast quantities of red tape for ‘official’ use, fancy shawls from the flourishing mills of Lumsdale near Tansley and silk braid-covered buttons from Flash. Velvet cutting factories at Tideswell and Wirksworth employed workers to cut by hand every tiny loop on the fabric to form the necessary plush pile.

The gales and rain of the weekend relented sufficiently for Santa to arrive in style at Heage windmill, this year riding in a motorised chariot, accompanied by suitable Christmas music. He found the mill grotto, where he met the children, to be very nice, comfortable and very attractive. Mill volunteers had fought the high winds on Saturday and early on Sunday to erect a new marquee which had never been unpacked before – it will be a great addition to the facilities we already have on site and all those who worked so hard are to be thanked. The marquee was full of stalls, games and close by there was a loveable pair of Husky dogs, all ready to be cuddled! A great day was had by all and some more funds towards the repair of the mill were accumulated.

ADVENT CONCERT BY WYN’S TOR SINGERS If you weren’t at the Advent Concert given on Saturday 28 November by Wyn’s Tor Singers, one of Derbyshire’s emerging, seriously-good chamber choirs, you missed a treat. They were joined at St Helen’s, Churchtown by Serendipity Wind Quintet, whose members are all professional musicians from Derbyshire Dales, and led by Youlgrave’s own Nick Stacey. The choir’s programme included impressive renderings of ‘Let All Mortal Flesh’ and ‘I Sat Down Under His Shadow’ (Bairstow), ‘Wachet Auf’ by J C F Bach, one of the great man’s sons, and the delightful ‘Bogoroditse Devo’ by Rachmaninov. There was some lively and lyrical playing by Serendipity of Sousa’s ‘Washington Post’, ‘Suite Espagnole’ by Albeniz, some delightful dances by Agay and Gershwin’s ‘I Got Rythym’. But my personal highlights package from the evening would include Praetorius’ beautiful ‘Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming’ (beautifully sung too!), the dramatic ‘O, Radiant Dawn’ by Macmillan, the melancholy pastoral sound of ‘High O’er the Lonely Hills’ (Powell) and Peter Warlock’s ‘Benedicamus Domino’ which brought the Wyn’s Tor contribution to a stunning conclusion. Finally, we got the chance to sing with Wyn’s Tor by joining them in a Derbyshire carol from the Castleton tradition, ‘Peace O’er the World’. Wyn’s Tor are singing again in Youlgrave on March 4th. Miss them – miss out! David Frederickson

We would like to wish all our clients a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hartington youngsters are celebrating the cultures of children across the world as they help to prepare a community Christmas display. Residents in the village are working together to host a Christmas tree event during the festive season to commemorate trees around the world, and children from Hartington C of E Primary School have put the final touches to a display to coincide with the project. They have painted pictures of children wearing traditional outfits from countries including Spain, Iceland, Russia, North Korea, Germany, Ukraine and Scotland, alongside portraits of themselves. The children spent time researching different areas of the world and the beliefs and customs of people who lived there. They looked into timehonoured clothing and were inspired to paint their own pictures depicting items like sarees in India; fur and animal skins in the Polar Regions; traditional dresses for Norway and Italy, and skirts and jewellery in Africa. Head Teacher, Tracy Blackwell said: “This activity has been a real eye-opener for the children and they have learnt so much about the different cultures and traditions of Christmas all over the world. “The paintings that they have created are absolutely fantastic – really capturing the essence of each country and ways of life. I would urge everyone to drop into the Village Hall to soak up the festive atmosphere and enjoy the children’s vibrant displays alongside the beautifully decorated Christmas trees.” The Christmas tree festival is an annual tradition in Hartington and this year sees a celebration of trees from all over the world. It was officially opened during the village’s Christmas tree lights switch-on, on Saturday 12 December. Residents and visitors joined in festivities from 12noon on the day, including a vintage tractor

CHESTERFIELD OPERATIC ~ “Songs From The Shows” Dunsford, known to many generations of Bakewell people through his teaching and local preaching, has been awarded the highest military honour from the French Government, the Legion of Honour, in recognition of his bravery in the liberation of France during the Second World War. Pupils are hoping he will be wearing his medals when he next visits the school! And the school has yet another cause for celebration, as they came through a Church Inspection with flying colours and gained yet another ‘Good’. They were praised for their ‘continued progress in developing the Christian ethos of the school’ in many ways:‘The headteacher, staff and governors are totally committed to putting a curriculum in place that ensures pupils flourish in their learning and in their personal development.’ ‘The criteria for meeting each level of the Star Awards helps pupils to develop progressively their skills in taking responsibility, concentrating on tasks, resolving tensions and contributing to the life of the school and wider community.’ The inspection coincided with the arrival at the Methodist Church of new Superintendent Minister, Reverend Adrian Perry, who has proved a hit with the pupils and they are especially enthused by his musical skills, on piano and guitar, to ‘sing even more’! Adrian Perry’s two children have been welcomed at BMJS and Lady Manners. We wish Adrian and Karen every happiness as they settle into the life of Bakewell and the Peak District. After all this and so many other exciting events this term, staff and children will take a well-earned break at Christmas, before taking part in ‘Young Voices’ at the Arena in Sheffield in January!

VILLAGE CAROLS COME TO TOWN

The Peak District’s Premier Shepherd Hut Builders

At White Peak Shepherd Huts we combine traditional building methods with contemporary comforts to deliver beautiful, authentic shepherd huts. Bespoke designs guarantee you a truly unique space to complement your home and garden.

Buxton Festival Fringe sang its heart out at a special party featuring Derbyshire Village Carols at the Green Man Gallery on December 5th. The party marked the opening of entries to Fringe 2016 but had a distinctly festive buzz as choir leader Daisy Barker helped by the Green Man’s Caroline Small organised an afternoon rehearsal followed by group singing at the party in the evening. Musicians Helen Cochrane, David Blowers and Dorothy Waite played trombone and concertinas, and Kevin Allsop, Alison Broady and Nadine Weston from the band Simply Layback also performed.

EXTENDING WITHOUT PLANNING PERMISSION

So whether you want a guest bedroom, home office, art studio, playroom or a garden retreat we have the perfect solution at White Peak Shepherd Huts.

For a no obligation consultation or just a general, shepherd hut chat, contact Glenn & Josephine. 07761 983312 or 01298 872752 email:info@whitepeakshepherdhuts.uk www.whitepeakshepherdhuts.uk

Peak District residents attempting to extend their homes can become locked in an arduous, protracted battle due to the National Park’s stringent planning regulations. However, some of its more enterprising householders have discovered a novel way of avoiding the red

tape completely. An option that allows their longed for space to arrive ready for immediate use with no stress, no mess and no need for planning permission; they have discovered the shepherd’s hut. Originally designed to provide shepherds with a

mobile shelter when living with their flock, these once forgotten huts are enjoying a revival due to their immense charm, versatility and traditional good looks. Josephine of White Peak Shepherd Huts says, “Shepherd huts make a lot of sense in the Peak as they generally don’t need

planning permission and they fit perfectly into its farming landscape. Every hut we build is designed individually to give our clients exactly what they want which can be anything from a study to a craft room, teenage hangout, occasional bedroom or even a sauna; the list is endless really. And unlike an extension, you can take your hut with you if you move!” As mobile buildings, Shepherd huts don’t usually need planning permission providing they aren’t used as living accommodation.

HELP TO DELIVER A ‘FIRST CLASS’ SERVICE During December, postbags up and down the country will be straining under the weight of millions of Christmas cards and parcels. With that in mind, sight loss charity RNIB is calling on the nation to save their used stamps to help raise vital funds. The charity wants everyone to help it deliver ‘first class’ support services by donating their used stamps to support the two million people in the UK living with sight loss, including more than 137,000 people in the East Midlands. Last year’s appeal raised over £24,000 to help RNIB provide a range of services including the RNIB Helpline, Talking Books and the Emotional Support service for newly diagnosed blind people. More than £100,000 has been raised since the first appeal over 20 years ago thanks to millions of stamps donated by the British public. RNIB receives £10 per kg for British stamps and £15 for foreign ones. The value of each individual stamp does not matter, what is important is volume and weight to be

SA NO LE ON W converted into muchneeded cash. There are 6,000 stamps per kg so every single stamp counts. Terri Bush, RNIB’s Volunteer Stamp Appeal Co-ordinator, said: “With 1.7 billion cards sent each year the scope to raise vital funds from used stamps is massive. “Any amount of used stamps, large or small, is appreciated and will really

go a long way to helping RNIB deliver its vital services for blind and partially sighted people this Christmas and throughout the year. “Getting involved is easy, so there really is no excuse not to get stuck in by sending us your used stamps.” Why not get family, friends and work colleagues together to save

and send stamps? Make sure all stamps have a half to full centimetre of space cut around them before sending to: RNIB, PO Box 6198, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 9XT. For more information about sending in your stamps or to get involved collecting them in your area contact Terri on rnibstamps@rnib.org.uk or call 0845 345 0054.

SHOWTIME VOLUNTEERS WANTED With the ever growing number of shows now being staged at Bakewell Town Hall, the Trustees are actively looking to build

their volunteer resource for supporting these events. Activities are wide ranging and include front of house and ticketing,

through to film projection, light catering and bar. Trust Chair Jonathan Wicksteed comments: “Our continuing aim is to create an arts, commerce and entertainment venue in the heart of Bakewell, and to date we’re achieving a good level of success. However, in order to expand our programme further we need

to bolster our invaluable team of support volunteers, so if you’d like to be part of something friendly, entertaining and progressive, come and join us”. Further details can be obtained from Helen on 01629 810152, or by e mail at enquiries @bakewelltownhall.co.uk

BY NICOLA ROSE I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year. Whilst I am all for celebrating, if you wish to be a little careful over this period here is some advice about ways to cope with the festive period without pilling on the pounds or spoiling the fun! To put on a pound in weight you need to consume 3,500 calories more than your body needs. The average British person will consume around 6,000 calories on Christmas Day

alone (the guideline daily amount for weight maintenance is 2000 calories for women and 2500 calories for men)! In addition over the festive period, the average person may consume an extra 500 calories per day, equating to a weight gain of around 5lb by the time January 1st comes around. Here are some useful tips to make sure the only thing that gets really stuffed this Christmas is the turkey! Planning ahead is always key. When shopping make a list and stick to it, avoiding aisles full of temptation, and don’t shop on an empty stomach – you are more likely to give into tempting offers and treats. Shopping online is another way to stick to your list and avoiding tempting treats. If you want some festive snacks, try plain popcorn, pretzels, and vegetable crudités with low fat dips. When eating out, eat smaller meals beforehand so you are not too hungry before your meal and avoid any other treats beforehand. Try to look at the menu beforehand and choose healthy options. If you are attending a party with a buffet on offer try not to hover by the buffet table. When choosing your food try and visit only once using a smaller dessert sized plate. Avoid the high saturated fat offerings like sausage rolls, pork pies and quiche, instead choose salads, seafood, fish, fruit, skinless chicken or lean meat cuts and vegetable crudités. When enjoying Christmas dinner remember turkey is a great source of protein and low fat meat, but why not

take the skin off before you tuck in – this is where most of the fat is contained. When laying out your meal around a third of your dinner plate should be vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, peas, cabbage and carrots. Steam or boil for the shortest length of time possible in the smallest amount of water necessary to keep all the nutrients in. Use the vegetable water for gravy and any leftover vegetables for a delicious soup. If you want to go that extra step, place cooled par boiled potatoes in a bag with a tablespoon of rapeseed oil and gently massage into the potatoes. Roast in a hot oven for 45 minutes or until brown and crispy, producing delicious crispy low fat roast potatoes. Make your gravy by removing the fat from meat juices, try using a fruit-based stuffing and make bread sauce with low fat milk. Those who like to indulge in a drink or two, tend to drink more over the Christmas period. Alcohol is very energy dense (7kcal/g versus 4kcal/g for protein or carbohydrates and 9kcal/g for fat). Avoid sweet cocktails and creamy liqueurs. Try alternating your drink with a glass of water or other calorie free drinks and if you do enjoy a short with a mixer, stock up on low calorie mixers and unsweetened fruit juices and beware of home measures! The average mince pie contains about 250 calories and that’s before it’s covered in cream or brandy butter. Remove the lid to cut calories. Christmas is also the time of year when most of us have boxes of chocolates and biscuits to

hand. Thank about choosing one luxury box as a treat and share!!

However, Christmas should be a time for festive fun and special food. You shouldn’t feel guilty about special treats now and then, you just need to make sure that they are treats and not the whole of your food intake. Stock up on some healthy alternatives too for balance such as exotic fruits, Satsumas piled high in a bowl, dried fruit and unsalted nuts. It is easy to unwittingly consume a lot more calories than normal over this period so make plans to get yourself, family and friends active – dancing, shopping and post-meal walks all will help to burn off extra calories and are enjoyable activities too!

COCKERTONS CHANGES NAME TO

TAYLOR & EMMET

Changes are afoot at longstanding Bakewell solicitors, Cockertons. From January 4, the firm will be known as Taylor&Emmet LLP, completing an integration project that began two years ago. Since Cockertons merged with Taylor&Emmet in January 2014, local residents have benefited from a much wider range of legal services in Bakewell, including the introduction of free family law drop-in sessions every Monday morning. Visitors can call into the Bridge Street branch anytime between 9am and 12 noon to find out more about the options open to divorcing couples, premarital agreements, arrangements for children and domestic abuse, to name just a few of the areas covered by the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialists. The wills and probate services on offer have also received a boost with the recent appointment of Taylor&Emmetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first dedicated contentious probate expert, Alex Watkinson. More people than ever are contesting the allocation of inheritance and the increasingly complex nature of these

matters means specialist help is needed to settle disputes. Alex provides assistance to those wishing to challenge the distribution of a deceasedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets. He is a member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists and is

recognised for his skills in resolving issues concerning the validity of a will, trusts, Court of Protection matters and Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act claims. Taylor&Emmet partner and head of the Bakewell office, Richard Kay, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand Cockertons

is part of the fabric of our community, but we joined Taylor&Emmet two years ago and the time is now right to take these final steps towards complete integration with other branches, creating clear links with our offices in Dronfield and Sheffield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of name, our ethos remains the same and my team and I will continue to deliver the high standards of advice and customer care for which we are well known and respected. New and existing clients have welcomed the broader range of services our merger has brought to Bakewell and enjoy being able to meet with solicitors from various disciplines locally. Through further collaboration with our colleagues in Sheffield, we endeavour to extend this access to encompass the full range of personal and business legal advice offered by Taylor&Emmet.â&#x20AC;? For more information about Cockertonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; change of name or the improvements to customer access and the working environment at its Bridge Street premises, telephone (01629) 812613, visit www.tayloremmet.co.uk or follow the firm on Twitter, @tayloremmet.

ASHFORD-IN-THE-WATER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; SEPTEMBER HOUSE FIRE

We would like to say a very big THANK YOU to all the emergency services that attended our horrific house fire on the 11th September in the early hours. To all the firemen that eventually managed to put the fire out, thanks for saving it from spreading any further, and thanks to fireman Dev for rescuing our rabbit. To all our neighbours, sorry for the early morning they had. To

Debbie for taking in the children, to Kath, Carol and Jayne for all their help with the animals, to Sarah and Neil for all their help. To Carl and Gail, sorry for the inconvenience caused. We would also like to thank everyone who donated clothes for the whole family and toys for the children, it was very much appreciated. To our children Meg, Jen and son-in-law Rich for their

hard work in sifting through piles of ash and rubble to retrieve some charred but irreplaceable photos. To all at the Co-op for their continued support. To the villagers of Ashford, sorry for the loss of water that morning, it was definitely needed elsewhere. It is an experience that we never thought would happen to us, just to people on the telly, but it has and although we

lost everything, either to fire or water damage we are trying to rebuild our lives and we are slowly replacing some of the things we have lost , we all got out alive (except for our cat) so we thank whoever was watching over us that morning, we truly thank everyone for their support and kindness. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from The Rowland Family

With thrills, spills and uproarious comedy this is a ripping yarn of boy’s storybook proportion- the Abbot and Costello of historical biographies- a deft mixture of Monty Python and Horrible Histories on a budget. A brilliant homage to the original spirit of the story. Plucky aviators, Capt. John Alcock and Lt Arthur Whitten Brown journeyed from Newfoundland to Ireland in the fog, sleet,

A hands-on approach from a ‘can-do’ clinic

At the meeting held on Tuesday 1st December 2015 Mr. Alan Kirk spoke on the subject of Diabetes. He began with a brief history of the condition which was recognised some 2000 years ago and was generally fatal until the discovery of insulin in 1921. Since that time research and new technologies for administering correct insulin doses by injection and, in some cases, oral medication have progressed rapidly in controlling the condition. He went on to explain that diabetes is caused by high levels of sugar in the blood for long periods. Mr. Kirk described the symptoms and main causes of diabetes, some of its side effects, the treatment available and the control measures by which sufferers themselves can help to manage the condition. Diet and exercise figure high on this list. A great deal of oral information was passed on together with booklets and information sheets which diabetics can make use of to contact and receive help from local and national organisations. The talk, particularly as it was given by a speaker who himself is diabetic, raised a great deal of interest and contributions from the audience and questions and answers. This was not surprising as statistics show that 6% of people in the UK suffer from this problem and the number is rapidly increasing. A well supported Vote of Thanks was given by Club Chairman Frank Beesley. The Club meets on Tuesday mornings at 10am in the Edgefold Club for coffee and biscuits

followed by the speaker for the day. Visitors are welcome to a “taster visit” to any of the meetings.

A NEW DOCUMENTARY ON THE PEAK DISTRICT teacher for 10 years now and I hope to think I have encouraged a few students to look deeper into the landscape. I ran a special course for six years on the environments and landscapes of Britain which enabled me to take small groups of students to the wildest places in Britain, caving, climbing and exploring amazing places they would otherwise never have seen. Others Involved in the Project The series has been written, filmed, presented and edited almost entirely by myself.

About four years ago we printed an article by Byron Machin who is a 31-year-old High School Geography Teacher from the Peak District on the history of Mining in the Peak District. Byron has been busy working on a documentary about the Peak District which he has called “Stories in Stone: A Landscape History of the Peak District”. The epic 4 part, 8 hour documentary series was filmed over the course of a year. The series traces the landscape of the Peak District back through time and the seasons looking at fascinating personal histories, ancient archaeological remains, folklore and legends, geology and exceptionally rare wildlife. Byron said, “I have lived in the area for my whole life and my wealth of knowledge comes from a great passion for this dramatic landscape. Large parts of the documentary were filmed around Bakewell, from dramatic starling Murmurations and secretive badger setts to the deep dark mines and ancient stone circles”. Why did you pick your home area as the subject for the documentary? “My last documentary was very specialist. I spent three years exploring the mines of the Peak District, both above and below ground. I wanted to present something unique and it was very well received and my second proudest achievement to date. Following on from this I knew I needed to do something really special. It took a while for the idea to materialise, as I have to be impassioned to make something, and now I really can’t believe I’m here now saying it’s complete. For the last two years it has been nothing short of an allconsuming obsession. I set out in the spirit of the great Victorian naturalists. Today everything is so specific, specialist and often dry. A hundred years ago the books, even though they may have been titled on a specific topic, were wonderful wandering and holistic affairs. They meandered across the landscape looking at wildlife, history, archaeology, folklore and geology – and that’s what people don’t see today. They see one specific aspect of a place. But all of these make a landscape, it’s an amalgamation of everything living or inert that has shaped its existence. I decided that my home deserved this, and that is Stories in Stone. A history of the people, wildlife and raw earth of the landscape I call home. The ancient Celts had an expression “Genius Loci”. It means “Spirit of Place” and the Peak District is a living form of this. After 31 years of my life spent as part of this place I have chosen my personal gems to tell just a small part of its intricate story.” The series’ nature means there is a huge amount of

information in it from the life of a badger sett just outside of Buxton, to an exploration of a vast underground mine network near Matlock. From ancient limestone reef mounds 300ft high, to the rift of Lud’s Church and the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Man. And from ghostly Barn Owls hunting over the meadows of Meerbrook to the lost railway of the Wye Valley. Cost / Availability The DVD is priced only £15 (it is not being sold to make a profit) for a 4 x DVD, 8 Hour box set. It is available from my website (http://sevenstonespublishin g.blogspot.com), Brierlow Bar Bookstore near Buxton, Picture Book in Leek and other local shops in the Peak District. People can view both the trailer and selected clips from the documentary on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/u ser/byronmachin Premiere The premiere was held in the Ancient Friends Meeting House on Thursday 12th November. The event was privately put on for close friends and family, and ended up being packed out with over 50 people attending. I gave a talk, presented a special 40 minute edit of my favourite scenes from the series, had a large selection of cheese and cordials! And upstairs put on a special display of minerals I have collected over the years from local mines, ancient remains from the area including bones from a Bronze Age Tomb at Grindon and various Roman and medieval artifacts, plus a display of my landscape and wildlife photography. Next Project I am currently finishing 7 years of research on the Wild Orchids of the Peak District and hoping to publish my findings next year. I discovered an exceptionally rare orchid at a necessarily secret location. Called the Epipactis Helleborine Achlorophylus, it bloomed for only one year and then disappeared. It is evidence of evolution in action in the orchid family. This Epipactis Helleborine decided it couldn’t be bothered to photosynthesize and instead became a parasite on the surrounding plants, draining all its nutrients from them. It produces no chlorophyll and so appeared as a ghostly white. However it didn’t have enough energy and nutrients to bloom for a second year. Who knows if one will appear again? As of today it is the only Peak District record for this beautiful flower. Teacher Background Everything I do links in with my passion for the landscape. I lead walks, write books, present lectures, take photographs, make documentaries and in the daytime I am a high school Geography teacher at Sandbach Boys School in Cheshire. I have been a

Friends have been there throughout to support me and they are all on the end credits. But special note must go to Patricia Myers; she is my best friend and has been the only other person to film for the documentary. When I have been walking around, down a cave, up a cliff, she has been there to film me! So whenever you see me in front of the camera and the image moves, it’s Pat behind the lens. I’m glad she’s not in conversation with you, as I’m sure she would have some stories to tell! Haha. Just A Final Word .... This was a passion project. It

has been a way of getting my love of the Moorlands to as many people as I can. I have experienced so much in this wonderful landscape, that I had to share it.

IT’S PANTO TIME IN EYAM

Directory of Companies & Services www.peak-advertiser.co.uk

Yes, it’s that time of year again and the residents of Eyam are hard at work rehearsing their annual pantomime. Our pantomime this year is Dick Whittington and, though Dick departs from Eyam at an early stage in the proceedings to seek out his fortune in London, there is no better place for you the audience than Eyam, to enjoy a couple of hours of entertainment and fun. Our pantomime follows traditional lines and offers a talented cast of rats, a cat with attitude, a dame given to malapropisms, some very gormless villains and a rather bloodthirsty Sultan, all offering up an excellent dose of Western and Eastern promise. The pantomime runs from Wednesday 6th to Saturday 9th January at 7.30pm at the Mechanics’ Institute in Eyam. Matinee on Saturday at 2pm. Tickets are £6.50 and £7.50 for adults and £4

CHRISTMAS OPENING TIMES

December 19th, 21st, 22nd ~ normal hours ~ 9am-5pm CLOSED December 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th OPEN December 28th ~ 10am-5pm OPEN December 29th and 30th ~ 9am-5pm OPEN January 2nd ~ 9am-5pm

Victorian Matlock Christmas Weekend was held on Friday 4th, Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th December and lived up to its reputation as ‘One of the East Midlands Best Outdoor Christmas Events’. Despite winter storms in many parts of the country, Matlock remained calm with clear skies for the best part of the weekend, which encouraged large numbers of visitors to attend. This event, which attempts to trace its history from the town’s Victorian beginnings right through to the present day, offers a mix of entertainment aimed at the whole family, and from comments received so far seems to have satisfied the event’s ambitions. The second object is to help the economy of the town and surrounding district. Record business was reported not only at the Markets, but also in the local Shops, Cafes and Bars, and local accommodation providers also recorded increased bookings with visitors coming from as far afield as Cornwall. The streets of Matlock saw their biggest crowds yet to see Santa’s Christmas procession, led by Derby Midshipman Carnival Show Band complete with illuminated instruments, a carriage and horses provided by Red House Stables of Darley Dale carrying Father Christmas, and popular Breakfast Show presenter Gareth Evans from Smooth Radio, in style to the bandstand in Hall Leys Park. Also lighting up the parade were three illuminated models for Matlock Bath Illuminations: Mickey Mouse’s Tug Boat, A battle scene from Star Wars and

a scene for Thunderbirds, also in the parade were the events entertainment team. At the bandstand there was a change to the usual line up as a Queen Victoria look-alike along with local 11-year-old singer Ellie Osbourne, who had delighted the crowds as they waited for the parade to arrive by singing “Feed the Birds” from the popular musical “Mary Poppins” which is all set in Victorian era. There was then the traditional countdown before Gareth & Queen Victoria switched on the Matlock Christmas lights, despite Queen Victoria being rather nervous of the introduction of electricity. Popular local compère Geoff Stevens then introduced a pantomime theme into the proceedings as he told the crowd it was going to snow and they replied in true pantomime style that “OH NO” it Wasn’t but “OH YES” it did as a snow storm magically appeared. Councillor Steve Flitter, the present Mayor of Matlock then thanked every member of the organising team for all their hard work in organising a magnificent event. Afterwards the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Geoff Stevens said that he would like to thank all those organisations and businesses in the town who helped in so many ways to make the event so successful. In particular the Matlock Town Council and the business community for having the foresight to back this event for the last 21 years, and Derbyshire Dales District Council for their support and for allowing the event to be staged in their beautiful Hall Leys Park.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from

Millclose Miners circa 1890s The coming of the railway The Peakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most abundant natural resource, stone, had a new role to fill with the coming of the railway. From the 1860s, demand for limestone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; used in great quantities for ballast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; soared, whilst gritstone was needed for major structural work such as arches, tunnels and viaducts. The metal and cutlery manufacturers of Sheffield kept our grindstone quarries in business. Rowsley still has the station building designed by Paxton, who had earlier built less practical

features at Chatsworth, not least the fabulous Emperor Fountain and also Victoria House â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the vast conservatory which was to be the inspiration for his Crystal Palace, built for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The village of Edensor had been re-sited beween 1838-42, moved out of sight of Chatsworth House. The new Edensor church was one of a number built in the reign of Queen Victoria including those of Biggin, Tansley, Stanton in Peak, South Darley, Matlock Bath, Rowsley, Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dale, Sheen and St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapel at Matlock.

St John's Chapel, Matlock

Innovations and inventions The parish of Sheen had

feat of engineering, running for over three miles underground. Major contemporary inventions included Ferodo brake linings, following experiments by Herbert Frood at Chapel en le Frith. The prolific output of Joseph Whitworth of Darley Dale incorporated

A Mild Water Cure been struck by an outbreak of Black Fever in 1853, claiming 14 residents of Brund. During the following year their church, St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, sent money towards relief of the Crimea, almost at the same time as Florence Nightingale began her work there, having left her Derbyshire home of Lea Hurst to change the face of nursing for ever. Other innovations in medical care were meanwhile transforming Matlock, where John Smedley pioneered his Mild Water Cure, bringing thousands of ailing visitors to the town. Business was at its height when in 1893 Matlock opened a single-cable tramway with an average gradient of 1 in 5 and ahalf, the steepest in the world and first in Europe. Records were set elsewhere. In 1882 an enormous 154ft unsupported dome was constructed over what would later become Buxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devonshire Hospital. The Dore and Totley rail tunnel of 1894 was another wonderful

the standardization of screws, drills and gauges. Whitworth also developed rifle-barrelled guns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which in spite of their great accuracy were initially considered too expensive for our soldiers, until their worth was recognised. By the end of Queen Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reign, patriotism and loyalty to the Crown was stronger than ever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; large numbers of her subjects believed that they were governed from the throne, not by parliament. Victoria took her country into the 20th century and at her death in 1901 muffled church bells tolled their respects across the Commonwealth Julie Bunting

FAVELL SMITH & LAWSON SOLICITORS

Bolshaw from Belper, have collaborated with contemporary composer and musician James Oldrini in association with the Belper Arts Festival to release charity single LOVE IS. The words to LOVE IS were adapted from Biblicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corinthians by writer and festival organiser George Gunby. It was set to music by Oldrini earlier in the year for the purpose of being included in the Belper Arts Easter production The Resurrection 2015. It was recorded by local musicians Amy & Lily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reaction to LOVE IS surprised and pleased us,â&#x20AC;? said James Oldrini. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soon after we recorded the demo I instantly thought that this would be a releasable track. The words are beautiful and work in a commercial sense too. I thought it would be a shame to write something so meaningful and for it to sit on the shelf after the one performance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect track to release near Christmas and help raise awareness and money for a good cause.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sat down with James

THE OTHER DAY HOPE VALLEY 1ST XV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12 MANCHESTER 3RD XV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 36

On a day when the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first decision was whether to play with or against the tide, Hope Valley hosted Manchester, a club with which they share the common link of Valley founder member, Paul Holwell. With Valley only able to field ten players, it was fortunate that the visitors, resplendent in their Christmas jumpers, not only negotiated the Hollowford flood, but brought 24 men and bolstered the home team. Thus a Valley team, including those wellknown players A.N.Other, O.N.E.Other and T.Other, kicked off with the tide. The inevitable handling errors hindered both sides and it was always likely that individual moments of skill would prove the difference and Manchester managed two such moments to lead 0-10. Valley, however, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow their heads to drop and Thomas Elliott scored a long-range try, converted by Ben Somerton to leave the half-time score 7-10. Now playing up the slope, Valley could have faced another deluge, especially when the visitors added an early score, but the home team went on the offensive with Tom Spencer mysteriously having a try disallowed, before Ben Somerton maintained his record of scoring a try in every game to narrow the lead to 12-17. With conditions worsening and handling errors escalating, it was Manchester who took advantage of a tiring defence to add three late scores before the referee mercifully blew the final whistle to bring the curtain down on a 12-36 win. Tries: Elliott, Somerton Con: Somerton (1) The Hope Valley Radio Show Man Of The Match

Rory Williams put in a solid, all-round display, highlighted by a superb try-saving tackle.

CORSETS, STOCKINGS AND SECRETS IN THE PEAKS The up and coming burlesque starlets of the Peaks have given their time and nerves, to produce a charity calendar for breast cancer. The brave ladies are students of Lady Absinthe, the founder of the Absinthe and Lace and the Secret Burlesque Club. The club is formed of members throughout the region from Chesterfield to Buxton and around the Peaks. The group not only meet weekly in secret to learn the art of burlesque, but have formed lasting friendship in a supportive environment to help them find their inner ‘goddess’. The group has helped some ladies overcome long standing issues with body confidence who may have previously been too nervous to even attempt burlesque. Some of the Secret Burlesque Club members have only been students of burlesque for a couple of months. The calendar photo shoot is forming the end of their initial training, proving how far they have come in developing not only their moves, but their confidence. They are hoping this newly achieved attitude will shine through into the calendar, in a vintage pin-up style. The calendar has also brought together the local community to help, with many business providing sponsorship or their time for free. David Travis Photography was ‘challenged’ by Lady Absinthe to help her produce a charity calendar in 24 hours! David, being one to always help a good cause rose to the occasion, and produced some amazing vintage boudoir shots. Although this is not his usual photographic style, he enjoyed a new experience. Beau Hair and Alison Jenner Hair Stylist were all on hand on the day of the shoot to provide their expertise to ensure the ladies looked their best.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Interesting Theatre Company have great pleasure in presenting, for your entertainment, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ by Mr. Oscar Wilde at The Parish Hall, Ashover, from the 17th to the 19th of December. The Importance of Being Earnest, a ‘Trivial Comedy for Serious People’, was first performed on 14th February 1895 and is a legendary comedy of mistaken identity and social pretence in which the two protagonists, Jack and Algy, maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations and pursue their respective romantic intentions. Set in the stylish 1920s, the production offers a first class play and live songs performed both before the play and during scene breaks. Optional special Dinner and Play tickets are available (a two-course dinner at the excellent Black Swan in Ashover, followed by reserved seats for the play) and front of house comedy in the form of our resident butlers. Interesting Theatre Company are sure that the evening will prove to be a relaxing break from the preparations for the forthcoming Christmas period and politely enquire: who would not want to come to such a unique and Interesting evening? Tickets are now on sale and are priced at: Standard Ticket £8 (£7 for concessions); Dinner & Play Tickets £20 (limited availability). All can be reserved by telephoning: 07703 437859 or emailing: interestingtheatrecompany.g mail.com.

The calendars are available to buy locally from Parkside Fitness Matlock, and on Facebook on the Absinthe and Lace Champagne Supper Club page. The price is £12, all profits will go to Breast Cancer charities. Helen Naylor

NEW YEAR’S EVE

Hollywood theme - Fancy dress optional

For those who say there is nothing new under the sun, well there is at Wirksworth – accessed rather appropriately via a Gateway to the Stars, where ornamental silver steel gates lead towards the wonderful Star Disc, sited in a reclaimed limestone quarry at Stoney Wood – an extensive area of community-planted woodland managed by the Stoney Wood Group on behalf of Wirksworth Town Council. Many years ago, when interviewing a senior resident of Wirksworth for a Peak Advertiser series, I was told that this was very much a ‘together town’ with a strong community ethos and where generations of livelihoods had depended upon work in the quarries. As Tarmac’s Stoneycroft Quarry, this one closed in the mid 1980s. Nowadays there is no question of disused quarries being viewed as eyesores but recognised for their vast geological and botanical interest. Some 25 years ago, Wirksworth Town Councillors ‘took a leaf’ from their twin town of Die in France, where residents had created woodland inspired by the old tale of a shepherd who had planted thousands of trees thereabouts. Wirksworth formed a committee to a similar end, followed by approaches to Tarmac which in 1998 gifted Stoneycroft Quarry to the town. Renamed Stoney Wood and with further support from the company, it was planted with large expanses of trees involving local volunteers and

schoolchildren. All kinds of events take place up here, with its huge natural amphitheatre, barbeque area, community orchard and relics which pay tribute to quarrymen who

laboured on a truly industrial scale. Hard to believe that some 20 years ago the ground was devoid of both grass and trees, quarrying having reached depths of several hundred feet.

A better world – equal, democratic and just; through adult education.

Courses for Adults Spring 2016 Course Title

‘A temple without walls’ Keeping to the left of a vast figure-of-eight laid out on the ground in stone, an uphill stroll reaches the stunning Star Disc. This 40ft-diameter circle of black granite, etched with the constellations and a depiction of the Milky Way, mirrors the northern hemisphere’s night sky. The Star Disc was conceived and designed by Wirksworth artist Aidan Shingler, who describes it as a 21st-century stone circle and celestial amphitheatre … ‘a temple without walls’. It is bordered by twelve seating benches of polished silvery granite set with a total of 72 coloured lights, powered via a solar panel by our nearest star – the Sun. Six Solar Calendar Stones show precisely where the sun rises and sets at the solstices and the equinox. To be up here after nightfall is absolutely magical – the next special gathering is on New Year’s Eve. Stoney Wood can be accessed from the Wirksworth to Middleton road, about 250 yards above the Lime Kiln pub – look for a parking area to the left of the road. Pedestrian and disabled access DE4 4EN.

The Christmas Tree Festival at Bakewell All Saints Church takes place between 10th and 20th December 2015 and will see over 100 decorated trees on display. Local organisations have been invited to take part and decorate a tree to reflect their organisation and tell the rest of the community about their activities. The Bagshaws Residential tree has been decorated with ‘baubles’ designed to look like houses to reflect that Bagshaws Residential is an estate agency. Each ‘bauble’ has been decorated in its own imaginative way by the 30 children at Winster Primary School, aged between 4 and 11 years old. “As a branch we really enjoy getting involved in local activities and the Christmas Tree Festival

CHRISTMAS DAYS TO REMEMBER Quite a number of Christmas Days have gone down in history, one of the more infamous being the coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1066 of the new Norman king, William ‘the Conqueror’. When the recently subdued Saxon nobles voiced their support during the coronation service, it was mistaken for an uprising by the Norman guards on duty outside the abbey. They burst inside to deal with the natives and so began a riot which spread out into the streets and cost many lives. Always of seasonal concern is the weather. Unbelievably severe winters hit England in the 17th century, with that of 1614/15 bringing the Peak District’s ‘Great Snow’; it snowed every day for two months. The coldest Christmas Day ever experienced in London fell in 1663 and citizens set up entertainments and games on the frozen river Thames, even roasting oxen without fear of melting the thick ice. Charles 11 and his court joined in the revels, thrilling to the novelty of crossing the river in their horse-drawn carriages. Traditional Christmas Day celebrations had only recently been restored following the Puritan ‘silent Christmases’ imposed by Oliver Cromwell, who in 1644 had banned the observance of Christmas by Act of Parliament.

Ten thousand pound bank-note During the Christmas of 1665, London lay under the pall of bubonic plague, which showed no sign of abating. Plague had also reached our own village of Eyam, where nine inhabitants died during December. None died on Christmas Day but the plague claimed two lives on New Year’s Day. A cheerier picture of postRestoration festivities is given in Pepys’ famed diaries; in 1666 he made a note that his wife stayed up until 4 am on the great day to supervise the maids baking mince pies. Back in the Peak again, 1667 saw great interest in the tiny hamlet of Over Haddon, where by Christmas Day a young woman named Martha Taylor was well into her fast – a ‘miracle’ which was to last well over a year and bring learned London physicians to her bedside. National events in 1688 had repercussions close to home following the so-called Glorious Revolution. Two days before Christmas, James 11 fled to France, setting in motion a chain of events that would reward the 4th Earl of Devonshire of Chatsworth with a dukedom for his part in bringing William and Mary to the throne. During a Christmas period of the mid-1830s, at Willersley Castle in Cromford, Richard Arkwright, son of the

great industrialist Sir Richard Arkwright, presented his children with Christmas gifts beyond most people’s wildest dreams. This account is taken from ‘The Arkwrights Spinners of Fortune’ (R.S. Fitton 1989): ‘The private wealth of the present Mr. Arkwright has grown to such an enormous sum, by his unostentatious living, that, excepting Prince Esterhazy, he is the richest man in Europe. A few years back I met his daughter, Mrs. Hurt ... and she told me that a few mornings before, the whole of her brothers and sisters, amounting to ten, assembled at breakfast at Willersley Castle, her father’s mansion. They found, wrapt in each napkin, a ten thousand pound bank-note, which he had presented them with as a Christmas box.’ At the other end of the scale, amongst numerous donations to charitable causes in 1839, Richard Arkwright added £1 to a Christmas collection for a ‘Distressed Seaman’. Proud as Peacocks Beyond living memory now are the WW1 battlefield scenes of 1914, when British and German soldiers held a fleeting unofficial truce on No Man’s Land, exchanging some of the most moving Christmas Day greetings ever shared anywhere. Here in the Peak, Maria Gyte of Sheldon kept a diary throughout the Great War,

which in November 1917 claimed the life of her youngest son, Tony. On Christmas Day poor Maria wrote in her diary: ‘Xmas Day and such a sad one. My dear lad Tony was missing from the family circle first time for 20 years. Oh Dear! What a dreadful war and what awfully sad homes there are this Xmas. The worst I have ever known. No joy. No singing Xmas hymns. No decorations ... Anthony and I have no heart for anything, only grief for our dear lost lad.’ (The Diaries of Maria Gyte, edited by Gerald Phizackerley; Scarthin Books). To end on a brighter note, we turn to Roly Smith’s compilation of lovely stories in A Peakland Christmas (Halsgrove): ‘Christmas was an occasion when distributions were made under the terms of charitable bequests, and the poor received gifts of food or footwear, clothing or coal, or sums of money. Occupants of the St John’s Hospital at Bakewell must have been as proud as peacocks (the crest of their patron, the Manners family) as they walked to church in their new Christmas gowns, each with a yellowand-blue cross embroidered on the left breast, and with the instruction that these were to be worn at all times except when the owners were working.’ Julie Bunting

THE EVE AND FEAST OF SAINT THOMAS

According to superstition, the Eve of St Thomas the Apostle on 20 December was the night when a maiden could expect to dream of her future husband. Preparations involved a set ritual in which she had to peel a large onion at bedtime and stick nine pins into it before chanting ‘Good St Thomas, do me right; Send me my true love this night.’ If that did not work, the maid could wait until Christmas and check out the situation. This meant going out after dark to fetch in a bundle of logs from the woodpile. The next morning, and not before, the logs had to be counted. An even number indicated that she would be married during the coming year, an odd number meant no wedding for at least another twelve months. December 21st, the Feast of St Thomas, had long been reserved for less frivolous

ACTIV

matters. On this day the poor were welcome to go from house to house begging a few extras for their Christmas table. It was usually women and children who called on those who might have a little to spare, perhaps flour, cheese, candles or small sums of money. Farmers traditionally set aside a share of potatoes or wheat to give to poorer neighbours who came ‘Thomassing’. A few handfuls of wheat were appreciated in the Peak, being the main ingredient of a dish called frumenty, eaten for Christmas Day breakfast. St Thomas’s Day was often stipulated for the distribution of charitable bequests, helping to spread a little seasonal cheer. Typical handouts were bread, clothing, coal and money. The poor of Winster, Curbar and Eyam each shared in St

Thomas’s Day charities. Bread was given to needy villagers at Biggin and Heathcote in accordance with combined charities known as ‘Needham and Others’. Elsewhere, six ‘poor deserving widows’ were given coal, whilst the income from Thomas Garrett’s charity was shared by 20 poor housekeepers of Sheldon. Clothed in Lynsey This extract is from the will of Mary Hall of Bradwell who died in 1762: ‘I give and bequeath to the Poor Widows or Fatherless Children of the town of Bradwell, the sum of fifteen Shillings Yearly, to be paid out of the Rents and Profits of a certain piece of land Moorlow Torr, and distributed by the overseer and Principal Inhabitants on St Thomas’s Day for ever.’ Similarly, widows and orphans residing in the parish of Outseats benefited from

Booker’s Charity, while ‘The poor of the ancient hamlets of Hathersage and Outseats’ received assistance under the terms of Ashton’s Charity. A number of local farmers left income for the poor inhabitants of Brassington, to be paid out annually on 21 December. From the mid17th century onwards, George Buxton, Samuel Mather, German Buxton, Ralph Toplis and Robert Dale each left rent charges on land of between 10 shillings (50p) and 3 guineas (£3.15p) per annum. Eventually these were combined and administered by the parish council. The objectives of most parochial charities have been similarly updated and often amalgamated to make the most of their assets, keeping in line as far as possible with the Christian intent of the original endowments. A

3 typical example comes from Edale, whose poorest inhabitants originally shared sums of 20 shillings (£1) and 10 shillings (50p), bequeathed in the early 1700s by, respectively, Ellen Howe and Thomas Creswell. Joseph Tym of Ollerbrook was more specific in his will of 1767; he instructed that the interest on £50 should go

‘towards clothing poor women and children in Lynsey (a cloth made from linen and wool) every St Thomas’s Day. In modern times the income has gone towards providing a Christmas dinner for the elderly, an appropriate treat of which the benefactors would surely have approved. Julie Bunting

STONEY MIDDLETON PRIMARY SCHOOL

A local reader wanted to share her experience she had recently with the education system. “We moved to the area this year and I had to find a place for my 8-year-old at a school. The local school was full and after going through the appeal process I eventually discovered Stoney Middleton Primary School. The first thing that strikes you is how friendly and welcoming everyone is. There is such a positive atmosphere. It is obvious the children love going to school there. The number of children at the school is lower than average but this is a perfect learning environment for my child as I felt he was ‘lost in the crowd’ and not enjoying learning as much as he could have done at his previous school. In a short space of time my child has benefited greatly from a very individual learning programme. The standard of his work is proof of this. His confidence in communicating appropriately and in a mature way has improved and he finds it easier to mix

The children looking through pinhole cameras at the solar eclipse, gardening and making pictures of Pudsey for Children in Need with children of all ages at the clubs he attends in his spare time. All the children are recognised as individuals by the staff and truly appreciate each other too. This is so important and I can see how supportive, polite and encouraging they are with their peers by the way they speak to each other. One interaction I heard with one child saying to another “your writing is

really neat, I hope I can do mine like that”, the other one then said trying to help “try this pencil”. On my child’s first day, a little girl came over and said kindly ‘come on, I’ll show you where to put your coat and where to tick what dinner you’d like. Do you like chicken curry or...?” and off they went. My child said to me recently, “This school is really fun, we get to go

swimming every term”. I could continue to make a long list of the wide range of activities that the hardworking, caring staff provide for the children. At the last Ofsted report - the school is rated ‘good’ and still improving. There is relentless effort to make learning fun and achieve the best possible for each individual child, and I can tell you this really is happening”.

It’s the time of lists, racing around and making memories. What is fun filled for some, is a testing time for many. Our Light up a Life was a chance to stand together in memory and as a community. It was such a wonderful atmosphere, which of course you all helped to create – thank you! At Blythe House Hospice everyone is busy moving the services forwards to meet the ever growing demand, and as the government cuts continue this is an ever increasing challenge. We have to be the service that the commissioners want to buy, even though only 30% of our funding is from the government! We know 90% of illness is at home, we know most people would choose to stay at home and we know that for the population of High Peak, the nearest hospitals are often Stepping Hill or Macclesfield. So, I want to keep you up to date with the difference all your support is making.

Some things we are busy with: •Setting up Hospice in the Home service. This will bring care to people’s homes, providing day and night sits for people in the last year of their life. We are very excited. This service starts in spring! •Producing a 3-5 year strategy. •Investing in and developing a 21C database. This is necessary to prove we are making a difference, by 2017 all service providers have to produce this information •Linking with regional strategy to ensure Blythe House is factored in to any decisions about who provides our services. •Improving our connections to the palliative care and discharge teams at Stepping Hill & Macclesfield to obtain data, and a closer working relationship with the clinicians as they care for our patients. •Working very closely with our fabulous GPs, District nurses, social workers and

specialist nurses. As you can see we are busy, busy enjoying our work and moving with the times. High Peak and Blythe House Hospice may be small but together we are achieving so much for our community.

So thank you all so much for all you do to support us. This Christmas time I wish you all as much peace and fun as life can muster. Warmly, Janet Dunphy, Blythe House Hospice Director

A BIG THANK YOU FROM ROTARY BAKEWELL On the evening of Tuesday 8th December, Rotary Bakewell’s second annual Tree of Light was lit in Bath Gardens and the Book of Remembrance opened for 2015. Cressbrook Band entertained the members of the public who gathered to see our Tree lit and enjoy supplies of mulled wine and mince pies. The event and dedications for the Book of Remembrance (situated in the Town Hall foyer until Twelfth Night 2016) raised

over £1000 which will be forwarded to local causes – Ashgate and Bluebell Wood Hospices. Rotary Bakewell would like to thank members of the public for their generosity in helping support this event. It is not too late to add the names of loved ones to the 2015 entry of the Book of Remembrance. Please contact Rotarian Roz Adamson for further details 01629 733626.

WINTER TYRES IN THE UK

Tel: 01629 733993 Unit 2, Ashbrook Close, Old Station Yard, Rowsley SUPPORTERS OF HELP FOR HEROES

Do you need to change to ‘cold weather’ tyres? In many parts of mainland Europe it is common, or even a legal requirement, for drivers to keep two sets of wheels and tyres – a set of ‘summer’ tyres and a set of specialist ‘winter’ tyres.

design of wheel nuts used too. Ask the wheel supplier or car manufacturer for advice. Winter tyres must be fitted in sets of four. Fitting only one pair will affect the balance and stability of the car. All Season Tyres As an alternative you could consider buying ‘All Season Tyres’ which also have a high silica content for low temperature flexibility and a tread pattern somewhere between a normal summer tyre and an out-and-out winter tyre. Like all compromises they’re unlikely to be as good as the best specialist tyre but can be expected to work better on wintry roads than a summer tyre and you will avoid the hassle and cost of swapping wheels / tyres twice a year. Snow chains If winter tyres are just too expensive you might consider carrying snow chains for use in an emergency. Snow chains are of limited use in this country though because you can only use them where the road surface is covered in a protective layer of compacted snow/ice. Snow chains can be awkward to fit and remove in the cold and when the wheel arches are packed

with snow and your gloved hands are cold and wet. Insurance implications winter tyres If you fit winter or allseason tyres in place of your standard ‘summer’ tyres there should be no need to tell your insurer – even though the speed index might be lower. The lower speed index is still likely to exceed all national speed limits by a considerable margin – with the exception of some German autobahns – and is not checked as part of the passenger car MOT test. If you follow the standard European practice of keeping two sets of wheels, one with winter tyres and one with summer tyres, then you shouldn’t need to tell your insurer as long as the winter tyres are fitted to wheels of the correct specification. •’Correct specification’ means that the wheel size – diameter, width and offset – conforms to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. •Check the handbook for details of wheel / tyre sizes suitable for your car and refer to the car manufacturer or dealer for further advice. Over the winter of 2010/11 we did hear reports of some insurers increasing premiums or remarkably even refusing cover if winter

tyres are fitted. As a result we recommend talking to your insurer if you are considering fitting winter

LAND ROVER PARTS, REPAIR AND SERVICING

A visit to your local car accessories shop is a good idea to stock up on certain things in case of an emergency, such as: spare bulb set, reflective warning triangle, walking boots or wellies, first-aid kit, torch, ice scraper, de-icer (also, keep some in the house in case your locks are frozen), collapsible shovel, tow rope, warm coat, mobile charger and a set of jump-start cables. Keeping a couple of energy bars in the glove box wouldn’t go amiss, too.

Winter tyres use a tread rubber compound (high silica content) and tread pattern specifically designed to retain flexibility in low temperatures (below +7C) and give good braking / traction performance on snow/ice as well as on wet roads in cold conditions . The sidewall of a winter tyre will be marked with a symbol showing a snowflake or snow-topped mountains. Winter tyres are not really suited to all year round use though – summer tyres will give better performance when temperatures are higher and roads dry – so you’ll need two sets of tyres if you’re going to choose specialist tyres for winter. Why are winter tyres not compulsory here? There are several practical and economic reasons: •many parts of the country never or only rarely experience weather conditions that would justify use of winter tyres •many drivers choose not to use the car when snow or ice are around •assuming that the industry could supply tyres in sufficient volume, the overall cost would be prohibitive – estimated at £500/car x 30million cars = £15billion for wheels/tyres plus storage and fitting costs. Should you buy winter tyres? Winter tyres make sense if you live in a remote area where winter conditions are likely to be worse for longer. Elsewhere it may be harder to justify the cost, though this has to be a personal decision depending on the risk of bad weather, your confidence when driving and how much you have to drive when snow and ice are around. Winter tyres are made by most of the main manufacturers. Some suppliers will provide these pre-fitted to a set of steel wheels too. If changing from alloy wheels to steel wheels you may have to change the

tyres. Tread depth and pressure Whatever tyres you fit they must have enough tread – at least 3mm is recommended for winter, and certainly no less than 2mm. Check tyre pressures too but don’t be tempted to try reducing pressure when there’s snow and ice about – it doesn’t help with grip and can affect handling. Courtesy of AA

COURTESY CARS AVAILABLE Land Rover ambassadors and celebrity followers of the Defender were recently invited to the Solihull production factory to assist in the build of the 2,000,000th Defender 90. This one of a kind Defender as designed by the special vehicle operations team has many unique and exclusive features and was auctioned at Bonhams, London on Wednesday 16th December. Funds from the sale of the 2,000,000th 90 will go directly to all Land Rover supported charities, International Federation of Red Cross, Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Born Free Foundation. This silver Defender 90 is expected to exceed £100,000. The Defender really is part of British automotive history and for for me it stands for that no nonsense practicality, that rugged reliability. Bear Grylls, Adventurer

The production of the Defender will cease in the first quarter of 2016. Since June of this year order books have been closed and full to bursting, with less than a handful of 90’s available this icon is forecast to rapidly appreciate in value. It would be fair to say that the chances of finding a delivery mileage 90 are non-existent. Local independent specialist, Barnfield Cars, Bakewell, have hopefully secured one of the final remaining Defender 90's in the same colour and similar specification to the 2,000,000th Bonham's car, an exclusive investment opportunity that will soon be gone! http://www.landrover.com/a bove-and-beyond/celebratedefender/2-millionvehicles.html http://www.bonhams.com/ auctions/23247/

COMMUNITY TRANSPORT CAR SCHEME RECRUITMENT SUCCESS Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport Car Scheme is delighted to report the success of a recent recruitment campaign. From July to November there have been seven volunteers added to the team. The Car Scheme provides transport for individual passengers who need access to appointments. Mr and Mrs Simcox from Tideswell explain how The Car Scheme helps them; ‘We moved to the Peak District two years ago which coincided with us both stopping driving. This meant

as well as being in a new area we also lost much of our independence. Our daughter told us about BECT and their services have been a great help to us. We use the shopping bus from Tideswell to Buxton and the Ring and Ride Community Car Scheme. This enables us to go to all our medical appointments at Hospital as well as visits to our GP, dentist, physio, optician, chiropodist and a Parkinsons support group. The drivers are very helpful and friendly and it gives us peace of mind. With our mobility issues it is not easy on a public bus and we struggle to carry our shopping home afterwards’ Their daughter, Mrs Carrie, says; ‘The service Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport provide is a godsend for me as I know that it is reliable and that my parents will be welllooked after. There is a friendly helpful voice when they ring the office and I can book by email for them too. The volunteers always go the extra mile to make them feel at ease and supported. Without Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport my parents would definitely lose more of their independence. They would become more isolated and the reduced social interaction would impact on their health and well-being.’ None of this would be possible without Volunteer Drivers. If anyone would like help from the Community Car Scheme or is interested in becoming a Volunteer please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01629 641920 or email info@bect.org.uk.

Whilst your vehicle is with us you could take up the option of one of our courtesy cars so you will never be without transport (conditions apply).

Winter walks on wet days are not always enjoyable experiences, especially if traipsing or trudging through mud or bog. However I recently discovered the perfect solution. Not only did this turn out to be a scenic amble of over four miles offering far reaching views with an opportunity to stride out and stretch my legs on an easy going and mainly solid surface, but there just happened to be a choice of three pubs along the way! My walk started in Wetton at the little car park by the public toilets. It was persistently raining but with a promise from the met office that the band of cloud would roll eastwards by midday. Decked from head to toe in waterproofs I didn’t really care but it would have been nice to add a little sunshine to my day. Leaving the village behind me I set off at a good stride along Carr Lane - Wetton is surrounded by a network of quiet narrow roads and lanes which for once I was happy to take advantage of rather than a more traditional field and stile hike. Although a bit murky and grey, there were still sweeping views over the Manifold Valley and I could clearly see the spire of Grindon Church rising up above trees on the skyline. The deep dark valley where the Hamps flows through Old Soles Wood looked a bit grim and foreboding. Soon the river would unite with the Manifold at Beeston Tor down in the dale below. Known to disappear during dry spells, I bet there was a surplus of fast flowing water surging down the river bed on this particular day but I was not going to find out, as at a junction where the road to Grindon descends steeply to Weags Bridge I did a left turn to ascend Larkstone Lane, heading past a succession of empty fields contained within mile upon mile of drystone walls. Away to my right was Mere Hill on the side of which are the remains of Throwley Hall, a large medieval manor house that

was recorded as a residence back in 1203. These ancient and often strange shaped Staffordshire Moorland hills have been home to man since prehistoric times. Numerous local caves and caverns have provided archaeologists with fascinating artefacts and an insight into early cave dwellers be they animal or human. Long ago established as a much sought after area for farming, mining and milling, over the years large tracts of land and estates have

been handed down through a long lineage of several generations such as the Harpur Crewe’s from Calke Abbey, the Hurt’s of Casterne, the Port family followed by the Watts Russell’s of Ilam and of course the Dukes of Devonshire who still own several properties in Wetton. Many farms and land hereabouts are owned and managed by the National Trust but there are also privately owned farms and smallholdings, country houses and cottages. Heading straight ahead at a crossroads I followed Wall Ditch, a very quiet narrow lane leading down to Hopedale and the first of

the pubs. The Watts Russell is an 18th-century inn tucked away in the bottom of the valley, serving the little hamlet of Hope. Now following the road to Alstonefield I headed past the former Cheese Factory, which is said to have been where England’s first co-operative of cheese makers set up. It was established back in 1874 by 20 local farmers as the Alstonefield Dairy Association. Beyond Hope Green Farm and the grade II listed Hope House I

walked past the Top of Hope and entered Alstonefield, which I consider to be one of the prettiest hilltop villages betwixt Manifold and Dove. The George is the village local, known for its exceptionally fine dining. Turning left at the Village Hall which doubles up as the Post Office I wandered along to the walled Green Well, said to be one of the original sources of domestic water for Alstonefield until two reservoirs were built in the mid 18th century at an area known as ‘The Clays’. From a little pocket high on the limestone uplands, clay soil was extracted from here to line dew ponds on farmland before mains

water troughs were installed. On reaching The Rakes it was a left turn yet again, this time descending a narrow track past the small sewage works, beyond which my path was through a couple of fields for a bit of mud on my boots until I returned to terra firma at Furlong Lane. What a delight this turned out to be, as nestling in a sheltered basin surrounded by a patchwork of fields I wandered through Windledale Hollow which was like stepping back in time with old stone farmhouse and outbuildings, pigsties. At one point I glanced through an open door into a hay loft stacked with small rectangular bales of sweet smelling meadow hay. These are a rarity nowadays as farmers either prefer silage to feed their cattle or have modern machinery that in one swift process can mechanically cut and bale hay up into massive shrink wrapped cocoons. I arrived at Ashbourne Road which was far from being a busy highway and after turning right for a change, walked back to Wetton, entering the village by passing the sports field with its old green wooden pavilion. Feeling damp but elated from a bit of fresh air I ended my walk at the fabulous Royal Oak – I entered to a friendly greeting from the landlord and an extremely warm welcome from the roaring log fire. Dating from around 1760, this traditional village pub is a free house offering a range of real ales and scrumptious home-made food, especially the bowl of hearty minestrone soup which set me up for the short walk back to my car.
