Title A name given to the resource Donald Taylor collection Subject The topic of the resource Historic images of Calderdale from the 1950s to 1980s Description An account of the resource Images of Calderdale in B&W taken ca. 1950 - ca. 1980 Donald Taylor was born in Hebden Bridge, later moving to Heptonstall where he lived with his wife, Ellen, at No. 42 Northgate for 53 years. He loved the countryside and was a keen walker and always took with him his favourite Pentax camera, which he won in a photography competition. He worked as a cutter and tailor for many years at Astins in Hebden Bridge. During the Second World War he spent four years in a tank regiment, where he trained as a wireless operator and was involved in the campaign in Africa and then Italy including action in Monte Cassino. Donald's photos are well-known and several were used to illustrate 'South Pennine Park', a book by his neighbour, historian Herbert Collins. Donald died in 2007 at the age of 85.

Title A name given to the resource Rochdale Canal, Hebden Bridge - DTA00152 Subject The topic of the resource Hebden Bridge, Places, Rochdale Canal, restoration Description An account of the resource The Rochdale Canal opened in stages as sections were completed, with the Rochdale Branch the first in 1798 and further sections in 1799. The bottom nine locks opened in 1800 and boats using the Ashton Canal could reach Manchester. Officially, the canal opened in 1804, but construction work continued for a further three years. By 1965 the Rochdale Canal had fallen into such dereliction that an Act of Parliament was sought to authorise its abandonment. This was granted but by early 1971, there were moves for the canal’s restoration. A boat rally was organised on the canal, and later that year. Discussion of the relative merits of restoring the Rochdale Canal or the Huddersfield Narrow Canal in 1973 led to the formation of societies to promote both schemes in 1974. The Rochdale Canal Society wanted to see the canal fully re-opened, as part of a proposed Pennine Park. The Ashton Canal, which joins the canal above lock 84, reopened in 1974, and the nine locks on the Rochdale Canal between the junction and the Bridgewater Canal were restored at that time. The canal benefited from the activities of the Manpower Services Commission in 1975, when £40,000 was allocated under the Job Creation Scheme to fund work on the Rochdale town section of the canal. The following year, another 150 jobs were created when a further £208,000 grant was made. The section from Todmorden to Hebden Bridge was completed in 1983, and opened on 20 May of that year.
