Fallingroyd House, 1910 - ALC00372
Fallingroyd, Fallingroyd House, Hebden Bridge, Houses, Places
Situated between Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd. Demolished around due to dry rot.
See photograph Ref. 010a of Daniel Jones Crossley who moved into the newly built Fallingroyd House in 1873 with his wife and two sons.
In 1873 Daniel Jones Crossley moved into his newly built Falling Royd House along with his wife and 2 sons. The wages book for the servants lists a cook, and three other female servants described as waitress, housemaid and general domestic servant. A gardener lived at Falling Royd Lodge, and three men, housed at Falling Royd Cottages, were described as coachman/groom, agricultural labourer, farm servant. The men were paid about £2 a fortnight (£52 a year) whereas the women were paidless and monthly. The cook was paid around £20 a year.
From 1902 onwards a nurse was employed, presumably to care for Mr. Crossley because he became "afflicted with a painful disease which totally incapacitated him from following active duties". He was confined to the grounds and residence of Falling Royd unable even to go for a carriage drive. For someone who went on a tour of the world in his thirties, this must have been frustrating. His active life, not counting his business, included being a county councillor (he took a non-political stance although a staunch liberal), a magistrate, president of the choral and harmonic society and president of Hebden Bridge Ambulance Association. He helped to build Hope Baptist Church, to found Hebden Bridge and District Nursing Institution and supported the annual Old Folks Treat Movement at Hebden Bridge. He died in 1907 but his son, Arthur Riley Crossley continued to live at Falling Royd until early I 920s when he moved to Aldershot. He tried to auction the house but selling it was a problem. In 1928 Charles Robertshaw, later to be knighted, became the new owner. The farm buildings and outbuildings were no longer inhabited. He died in 1960 and Lady Alice continued to live there. The house by then had a garage and shooting range. After her death in 1964, the house was sold. It was demolished about 1970 due to the poor state of the building and a new house erected on the site.

Bridge at Fallingroyd, Hebden Bridge - ALC00141
Canal, Canals, Fallingroyd, Places, Tram, Transport
This was the original bridge on A646 between Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd. Note the sign 'Death Trap' because of the sharp right-angled bend. The bridge was rebuilt and further rebuilt when the canal was opened up. To the left of this photograph stands Maudes Clog factory. Later it became Walkeys.
The traveller from Hebden Bridge to Mytholmroyd by road can see the original turnpike road of 1770 in the field to the left of the former Tythe Barn. The first bridge was needed when the Rochdale Canal was taken under the road about 1800. It would have been the usual type of canal bridge, eight feet wide and fairly hump-backed. It would have needed to be improved or even replaced when the road was brought to its present level in 1825.
The sharp right-angled bend as the bridge crossed the canal presented no difficulty to horse drawn traffic, but, when traffic became motorised at the beginning of the last century, the long, straight, flat approach to the bridge invited an increase in speed and then a quick braking at the bridge and this combination led to numerous accidents, some fatal, hence the Death Trap sign.
The stone bridge was replaced by a wider iron bridge and attempts were made to make the approach safer, though accidents still occurred. Later the canal was culverted in order to straighten the bend in the road.
It was in the 1980s that the restoration of the Rochdale Canal was effected here by taking it through a fifty yard metal tube under the road.

Hannah Riley and Daniel Jones Crossley, c1858 - HLS00147
Couple, Fallingroyd, Hebden Bridge, People, Places, Portrait
They moved into the newly built Fallingroyd House, Hebden Bridge, with their two sons in 1873.
Daniel and Hannah were both born in 1824. A descendant of these two people, Mrs Duly, sent the photograph to Diana Monahan. The family believed the photograph to be taken when they became engaged - the photo has a “sparkle” on Hannah’s engagement finger. We know it wasn’t taken on their wedding day because the descendant had the wedding dress which she wore at her own wedding. It is now at Bankfield Museum.
