During the night of 15 August a train of 36 loaded vans and empty mineral wagons from Lostock Hall to Healey Mills headed by a Type 4 disel D398 collided with the 'Copy Pit' banker*, an 8F 2-8-0 steam loco, at about 60-70 mph. The driver of the diesel was killed and wreckage was strewn over a mile with some wagons rolling down the embankment including into houses in Cornholme. (Information thanks to 'Railway Memories No. 11, Halifax and the Calder Valley' published by Bellcode Books.)
* Banking was the use on a steep gradient of a powerful loco at the rear of a heavy train to help ‘push it up’ and also to stop any wagons that broke away from rolling back down hill, not unknown in the Upper Calder Valley.

One of several stations in the civil parish of Saddleworth which, although on the western slopes of the South Pennines, was in the West Riding of Yorkshire up until local government re-organisation in 1974 when it passed to Greater Manchester.
The branch to Delph left the Huddersfield – Manchester line south of Saddleworth Station. It had opened in 1851 and was closed in 1955 to passenger traffic but it continued to handle freight until 1963. The station building was converted into a private house.
Seen here at an unknown date but seemingly prior to withdrawal of passenger traffic in 1955 with a rake of goods wagons on a siding to the front of the passenger platform.

Slaithwaite Station like other stations on the LNWR’s Huddersfield Manchester line along the Colne Valley opened with the line in 1849; it was enlarged in the mid-1890s when the line was increased from two to four tracks. It is seen here with well maintained platforms at an unknown date, but probably pre-1948 Nationalisation, or even earlier. The LNWR’s ringed semaphore signal on the slow lines does not appear on 1960s photos nor does the foot/barrow crossing but those later photos do show a standard semaphore signal at the end of the island platform. A steam locomotive is just discernible through the haze approaching the fast lines platforms.
The line reverted to double track in the mid-1960s and the station was closed under the Beeching axe in 1968 and the station buildings subsequently demolished and the platforms lifted. A new station was built on the site opening in 1982 with two platforms and bus stop style shelters.

Turvin Mill, Cragg Vale - RAC00111
Building, Mill, Mills
Turvin Mill was built in 1808. By 1833 it had a 10 HP water wheel and employed 57 workers (of which 31 were children). The water in the brook was supplemented by a catchwater drain half a mile long which collected the overflow from Whiteholm reservoir (Rochdale Canal Co.) as well as water from the moor. There is still a small reservoir opposite the bus turning bay. The mill was captioned 'Woollen' on the 1850 six-inch map. (Walsh).
