Title A name given to the resource Hebden Bridge Local History Society Description An account of the resource The Hebden Bridge Local History Society was formed in 1949 and is a section of the Hebden Bridge Literary & Scientific Society which celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2005. The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm. The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month. Donations to the archive are welcomed. Contributions of photos and documents, even from the recent past. A catalogue of the Society's is available on their website.. One of the many projects the Society is currently working on is the Gibson and Sutcliffe papers. The materials had been lying in a room at Croft House in Hebden Bridge, undisturbed for over 50 years. One collection belonged to Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee and the other to Sutcliffe & Sutcliffe, architects. Members of the Society are also transcribing gravestones in Heptonstall churchyard, providing easy access to local information for genealogists. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Interior, Broadbottom, Wadsworth - HLS00358 Subject The topic of the resource Broadbottom Farm, Drawing, Farm, Farm house, Farmhouse, Farms, Internal Description An account of the resource The aisled halls of the Halifax region form a unique group within the north of England. Dating from the 14th century they are evidence of the prosperity of the medieval yeoman clothier who wished to demonstrate his wealth by building a large ‘open-hall’ house. Few survive unaltered today, which makes Broad Bottom very rare and important. Here we see the large king-post roof truss carried on tall posts which stand on padstones. The fire area has the remnants of the original inglenook with its side screen; the present stone fireplace is an 18th century improvement. Large rafters supported by purlins lend support to the heavy ‘thackstones’ – roof-slates pegged onto riven-oak laths. At the opposite end are the remains of the ‘dais’, a raised platform to add status to the people who sat at table. To either side of the heavily framed wall were doorways into the ‘solar’, the private apartment in a cross-wing. Set against the massive plank-and-muntin panelling would have been the ‘high-table’ with a coved canopy above. Only the moulded rail survives, which acted as a springboard to the curving struts. (A canopy saved from Whitehall, Ovenden, is in the Bankfield Museum, Halifax.) Above the rail is a series of closely-set vertical studs with wattle-and-daub infilling. The roof at this end is carried by a king-post truss with two braces on each side of the post: such an ‘A’ strut truss is also seen on the front gables at Shibden Hall.
