replied on: 5/17/2007 8:55:06 AM I don’t know it was taken from a quiz set by: “So you think you know Heanor” by Phillip Eggleshaw But if Taghill and that area was going to be the town centre maybe the name came from that? Heanor 1887 R/H The New Market Scheme On Tuesday evening a meeting convened by the originators of the “no Market Scheme”. Was held in the pay-room at the town Hall. Mr. S. Hardy was voted to the chair. Among others present were T. Mayfield, S. Towson, J. Holbrook, J. Bowley, T. Locbies?, J. Lomas, W. Thorp, W. Berrisford, N. Ball, and H. Cresswell. Mr W. Smith observed the Tag-Hill proposal included the purchase of the Cross Keys – for £1600. Mr. J. Holbrook in explaining “no 1 Market Scheme” said is order to make it more complete he would suggest the purchasing of 850 square yards more land adjoining the proposed plot, belonging to Mr John Thorpe, which was now on sale, the owner consenting to sell it for £375. He felt fully convinced values all parties amalgamated no scheme could effectually succeed. But in this proposal, providing it failed, they would have value for their money. A lengthy discussion on the various proposals offered took place, in which Messrs Towson, Mayfield, Cresswell, Thorpe and Bowley took prominent parts, after which Mr T. Mayfield moved “That Messrs J. Holbrook, J. Bowley and S. Towson form a deputation from that meeting to wait on the other market scheme committee with a view of arranging for a final public meeting. Mr. J. Paxton seconded, and the ----- was carried. Jenny |

replied on: 5/29/2007 10:41:27 AM LONGFORD is a village and township,11 miles W. from Derby. The country around here presents many agreeable prospects, and the ancient and spacious mansion of 'Longford Hall', with its pleasant grounds, the seat of Edward Cooke, Esq. are ornaments to the scenery. The church, which is dedicated to St. Chad, is of good dimensions, and of considerable antiquity: its architecture exhibits some portion of the Norman style, and in the chancel are three stone stalls. |

replied on: 5/30/2007 11:31:02 AM SHELDON Haunted and cursed: Magpie Mine South of Sheldon village you’ll find haunted Magpie Mine (SK173682). It was worked for 300 years up to 1954. Some say it is cursed because it has suffered so many floods, fires and falls. Perhaps the curse stems from 1833 when three men were suffocated there. Even today the place retains an eerie atmosphere. In 1946 a party of speleologists were exploring Magpie Mine. One saw a man with a candle walking along a tunnel from which he disappeared. Another party member’s photograph showed a second man standing apparently on 3 metres of water. The ghost of the Old Man was thought to be trying to protect his ancient rights, or else to be helping these modern searchers find lead ore. Miners believed the ore to be thick and pure in the main vein 46 metres below water level. |

replied on: 6/1/2007 3:33:26 PM NETHER-HEAGE Derbyshire. Is one part of Heage, a village of two parts, (formerly High Heage and Low Heage,)neither village has a centre. The main occupation of the original inhabitants would have been farming, but in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, Coal Mining and the Ironworks at Morley Park, and later at Butterley were major employers. (Morley Park had the first coke fired Blast Furnaces in Derbyshire). |
