| Salt Warehouse, Sowerby Bridge | Ref S1227 |
The Rochdale Canal Act [1793] instructed the Calder & Hebble Navigation Company to build at Sowerby Bridge whatever wharves and warehouses the Rochdale Canal Company wanted, the latter to pay for the space they used.
The warehouses were built by John Smeaton in 1796 for the Calder & Hebble Navigation Company. Richard Milnes occupied the warehouses for a time.
Warehouse Number 3 – called the Salt Warehouse because salt used to be stored there – is a Grade II listed building, and Warehouse Number 4 is a Grade II* listed building. This warehouse has one end on the Calder & Hebble Navigation and the other on the Rochdale Canal.
One end of the Salt Warehouse is on the Calder & Hebble Navigation and the other end is on the Rochdale Canal.
In 1972, Mark Andrew and his wife took the lease on Sowerby Bridge Canal Basin from British Waterways, and were advised to demolish the Salt Warehouse as it was unsafe. They saved it by forming The Salt Warehouse Trust.
It is now a bar and restaurant

My mother Mary was born in 1920. She tells me that the firm was originally Whittaker's Biscuits and was owned by my grandfather's Jewish family. My grandfather, Frederick Whittaker, had two sisters, and as the eldest son, he should have inherited the business. However, Frederick married a gentile, Emily Maude, and was disinherited by my Jewish great-grandparents, and the inheritance passed to my grandfather's two sisters. One sister married a Mr Scribbans, and the other married a Mr Kemp. This is how the Halifax firm came about. My grandfather, who died about 1947, was left with nothing!

was on the left as you go up [from Elland towards Ainley Top]. The place is now [2014] full of plastic tanks in wire cages and blue barrels. This was part of the brickworks property and is a new building, just below the underpass of the new road.Sharratt's used to get their clay from across the road. The clay came in big metal tubs, down a thick cable. On arrival, the tub hit a lever, and it then tipped out the clay and righted itself. The tub then went back up the hill over the field to get filled again. The clay deposit was about half a mile up over the hill.

In 1887, Captain Shaw of John Shaw & Sons bought The Old Woollen Mill in North Tawton, Devon.This was Captain John Leslie Morton Shaw, though the date [1887] is too early.
This was at a time when the woollen industry in Devon was in decline.

Captain Farrar and his cavalry, pursued the retreating Royalists towards Halifax, but they went too far, and could not regain their main force at Sowerby Bridge.
Mackworth's outpost at Kings Cross and Senby Edge, blocked the direct route back to Heptonstall, so Farrar appears to have led his men across Halifax Moor and Ovenden Wood, with the intention of crossing the head of Luddenden Dean and the moors at Heptonstall. They were checked at Mixenden and obliged to fight on the slope between Hunter Hill and Mixenden Brook. Portions of gun barrels, locks and flints have been found on Hunter Hill.
The traditional name of the place is Bloody Field and a part of Binns Hole Clough is called Slaughter Gap.

The Yorkshire Gazette [Saturday 29th April 1843] reported
Dreadful Accident to One of the Robbers.A robbery was committed near the archway on the Godley Lane road with serious injuries to one of the robbers.
It appears that John Stirzaker was walking home with Elizabeth Anderson, a young woman neighbour of his. At the top of the hill they met three men who came over the archway and who followed them down the cutting. Two of the men – Valentine Akroyd & Henry Jagger – threw the man down while Henry Tetley seized hold of the young woman and threatened to
blow her brains outif she did not deliver up. She recognised the robber who lived locally.
Stirzaker and the young woman shouted for help and saw a group of men approaching, and hearing footsteps, the robbers decamped taking with them a pair of shoes wrapped in an old stocking and Stirzaker's umbrella, but they did not get any money. Stirzaker was kicked in the head and ill-used.
The couple later met the robbers who were observed coming towards the bridge from the road below. One of them, Jagger, was seized by one of the group and Akroyd was chased in the direction of Horley Green and escaped. The third robber Tetley ran towards the bridge, and purposed, no doubt, to leap over the wall at the further side. He, however, from the hurry of the moment, leaped over the bridge at its very centre and was precipitated into the road beneath. The others went in search of him and found him all but lifeless in the road. Sutcliffe, the constable, was immediately sent for and the man was taken speedily to the infirmary. He had his right thigh broken in three places, one a compound fracture, both wrists broken and his lower jaw dreadfully smashed. Although receiving every attention his ultimate recovery is extremely doubtful.
Akroyd was apprehended in Bradford, and he and Jagger were brought before the magistrates and the case being fully proved, and the prisoners clearly identified, they were committed for trial at York Assizes.
All three were well known thieves and have been previously convicted
Valentine Akroyd & Henry Jagger were transported for life

This is the farm which stands surrounded by the M62 motorway above Huddersfield and Halifax. The westbound carriageway is higher than the eastbound at this point.
Ken Wilde who farmed here when the motorway was being constructed, had lived at the farm since he was 5 years-old, and refused to move or accept the value which the council placed on the land under the terms of a compulsory purchase order.
The matter was settled when engineers realised that it would be possible to divide the east- and west-bound carriageways and leave the farm intact, allowing Wilde to continue to keep his 1,400 sheep on more than 2,000 acres on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border.
The farm was fitted with free triple-glazing from the council.
Two 12 ft-wide tunnels under the motorway give access to the farm
Myths about the farmer refusing to sell the land appear to be unfounded.

Presented to Mr John Styring, of Halifax, by a few individuals, of the body of Commercial Travellers, who were not his creditors, but are desirous to mark the sense they entertain of his honourable and upright conduct, in paying to his creditors the full amount of their accounts, many years after having received a legal discharge

Contributor Tony Hargreaves recalls that
In the 1950s, I often saw him walking/staggering along Edwards Road, Pye Nest, where I lived. I must have been about age five when I first saw him.He was a fearsome man, very tall. All the kids were terrified of him and adults kept well clear.
He walked from the Wainhouse Tower end of Edwards Road and then to Pye Nest Road where I think he turned left down to Sowerby Bridge. This seemed to be his regular route.
A friend who lived in Sowerby Bridge tells me he was known there.
It was said Jim slept next to some brick kilns in Elland area, presumably for warmth, and that he was once a wealthy man and had held a position of responsibility in the army. He wore what could have been an army great-coat. He always seemed to be drunk and was quite aggressive. Seems he got by doing odd-job bits of gardening

| Sybil | Ref S949 |
| Sybil, Lady | Ref S465 |
One of her suitors, William Towneley, approached a local mystic, Mother Helston, for a way to win the lady. Helston told him to go hunting at Hallowe'en and capture the white doe which he would find. He did this, and on taking the captured doe to Bearnshaw, it transformed into Lady Sybil. The couple were married.
Later, a local boy was trying to shoo off a group of cats and accidentally cut off the paw of a white cat. He kept the paw and in the morning, it had changed into a woman's hand wearing a wedding ring. He took the hand to William Towneley and Lady Sybil restored the hand, leaving only a scar. Lady Sybil and Mother Helston are said to be buried at the foot of Eagle Crag, Todmorden.
Local legend says that at midnight on Hallowe'en, a white doe – Lady Sybil – stands on the crag, chased by a hunter – William Towneley – and his dogs, appears at Eagle Crag, Todmorden
