TagRef T383
A ghost which was said to drive a chariot – pulled by a 2-headed horse – from a passage leading to New Hall, Elland and along Tag Cut where it vanished

Tag Cut, EllandRef T655
Aka Tag Loop.

The section of the Calder & Hebble Navigation was completed in 1770.

Andy Eccles tells me

Tag Cut formed part of the original Calder & Hebble Navigation carrying river traffic from Brighouse to Elland and beyond (and vice versa).

The navigation left the canal cut from Brighouse at Brookfoot where it entered the River Calder and travelled upstream through Tag Cut and back into the Calder at its western end, to Elland, where it again joined a canal cut near to Elland weir which took the traffic back into the Calder at West Vale.

This was the route of the navigation until the current canal cut between Brookfoot and Salterhebble was completed between 1805-1808.

Several elderly inhabitants of Rastrick recall playing at the western entrance to Tag Cut where a man named Fred Craddock hired rowing boats for use on the river

The name comes from the ghost Tag.

[Threapland] takes all the ways imaginable to insinuate strange principles into his scholars, especially an antipathy against the nonconformist –

  1. laying to their charge the forging of the story of the plot, as though there were no reality in the popish plot,
  2. telling his scholars when they make bad Latin – that's just like the presbyterians' sermons i.e. nonsense,
  3. telling them that the presbyterians got the old king's favour, and then cut off his head, making his scholars to put into their themes,
  4. versifying most basely drolling upon us, father, forgive him he knows not what he doth

Tom Bell's CaveRef T54
Cave at Hardcastle Crags said to have been the refuge for Tom Bell. It is a natural fissure, 140 ft in length. There is one entrance in Hebden Wood, and 2 entrances in the Colden Valley.

In October 1899, Herbert Cooper discovered a human skull in the save. The skull was taken to Dr Russell of Todmorden, and then to Professor William Boyd Dawkins of Manchester, who suggested that it was Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Tradition holds that it is the skull of Tom Bell.

There are several possible caves in the area and the actual cave where Cooper made his find is uncertain – it may have been a hoax.
