Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JWB54C - Moore is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England, located midway between Runcorn and Warrington. It has a population of 807.
Etymology
The name 'Moore' comes from the Old English word mor, meaning 'moor, or fen'. The village's earliest recording was as Mora, some time in the 12th century.
History
Moore is the site of a disused railway station named Daresbury. The railway station was opened in 1850 and was located on the south side of Runcorn Road. The station was closed to passengers in 1952 and closed completely in 1965. The platforms and ramps down from road are still visible from Runcorn Road. The railway station was situated on the Birkenhead Joint Railway close to Warrington and in the village of Moore. The railway station was the second to open in the village. The first railway station which was very close by was part of the Grand Junction Railway which opened on 4 July 1837. Moore was a second class station at which a First Class train would not stop. The engineer for the northern half of the new railway was Joseph Locke who became a famous as a railway engineer. The date of closure of Moore railway station is uncertain. Daresbury railway station was initially called Moore but the name was changed to Daresbury in April 1861 taking its name from a village a mile or so away.
The area of Moore to the north of the West Coast Main Line and west of Moss Lane was designated as part of Runcorn New Town in 1964 and the land allocated to industry. The New Town Masterplan was amended in 1975 to reduce the amount of industrial land around the village and to create a green buffer between it and what would become Manor Park Industrial Estate

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBXKN - Moreton-in-Marsh is a market town in the Evenlode Valley, within the Cotswolds district and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England.
The town stands at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and the A44. It is served by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line. It is relatively flat and low-lying compared with the surrounding Cotswold Hills. The River Evenlode rises near Batsford, runs around the edge of Moreton and meanders towards Oxford, where it flows into the Thames just east of Eynsham.
Just over 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Moreton, the Four shire stone marked the boundary of the historic counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire, until the re-organisation of the county boundaries in 1931. Since then it marks the meeting place of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line.
Moreton is derived from Old English which means Farmstead on the Moor and in Marsh is from henne and mersh meaning a marsh used by birds such as moorhens. An alternative suggestion is that 'Marsh' is a corruption of 'March', early English for boundary
Each September the town hosts the UK's largest one-day agricultural show. Held on part of the Batsford Estate, the show has been running since 1949.
Rail services to/from Moreton-in-Marsh station are provided by Great Western Railway. The fastest direct trains from London Paddington station take around 90 minutes. Since the opening of Worcestershire Parkway railway station in 2020 the fastest journey times from Birmingham have been cut to around 75 minutes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPF7HW - Venton's Devon Cyder History
Real Cyder has been made in the traditional way from our East Devon orchards at Clyst St Lawrence for at least the past 100 years that we know of. Looking at old maps of the local area it's probably much longer than that and the documented history of Devon Cyder extends to more like 300 - 400 years.
Whiteways Orchard Heritage
The famous Whiteways Devon Cyder Company were based 2 miles from us and for nearly a century, the orchards surrounding us were nurtured and used to make their Devon Cyder. Famously Whiteways exported thousands of gallons of Cyder to America during the post-prohibition era. In it's heyday the orchards at Whimple were known to be the most extensive in the world. Whiteway's closed in 1985 due to the decline in popularity and the factory land was sold of for housing. The orchards, including our own became redundant for many years but have now, thankfully found a new lease of life due to the renewed interest in Real Cyder.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P8DCT4 - The William Nuttall Cottage Homes are a good example of a planned development by a charitable benefactor, the sweet manufacturer William Nuttall. He set up a trust to provide 'cottage homes for aged spinsters' and the William Nuttall Trust purchased land in Bennetthorpe from the council on which to build these homes. The almshouses were erected in 1930, until then the area between Bennetthorpe and the racecourse had been relatively undeveloped.
The cottage homes were laid out in the pattern of traditional almshouses of standard size set in communal grounds. The buildings comprise a symmetrical group of 24 two storey homes at the centre of which is a linked terrace of eight dwellings around a central archway. To each side are four pairs of homes, each advancing forwards. The buildings are of red engineering brick with stone and concrete dressings and have either 'Rosemary' plain clay tile or Westmoreland slate roofs. The buildings are not identical but have common features and display typical detailing and materials of the inter-war period. The whole site was bounded by a low brick wall with a central vehicular access and symmetrical pedestrian side access.
The William Nuttall Cottage Homes development remains relatively unchanged and continues to have the use for which it was originally intended. Within the conservation area there are no listed structures but all the buildings are considered to be key unlisted buildings.

The Rochdale Canal runs for 32 miles from its junction with the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire to its junction with the Bridgewater Canal in Castlefield. Originally, the canal terminated in Dale Steet in the centre of Manchester (see below) because the Duke of Bridgewater refused to agree to it joining with his Bridgewater Canal.
However, faced with competition from other canals he changed his mind and the Rochdale Canal was extended into Castlefield and The Duke's Lock - lock 92, facilitated the connection between the two canals. A lock keepers cottage was built beside Lock 92 and it is still there today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EDMN - Duke's Lock - Lock 92 on the Rochdale Canal
The Rochdale Canal runs for 32 miles from its junction with the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire to its junction with the Bridgewater Canal in Castlefield. Originally, the canal terminated in Dale Steet in the centre of Manchester (see below) because the Duke of Bridgewater refused to agree to it joining with his Bridgewater Canal.
However, faced with competition from other canals he changed his mind and the Rochdale Canal was extended into Castlefield and The Duke's Lock - lock 92, facilitated the connection between the two canals. A lock keepers cottage was built beside Lock 92 and it is still there today.
The 1863 Manchester and Salford Directory lists a John William Smith, living at Lock House, whose job was toll collector.

A lady very unloved, although perhaps gave Britain a dose of medicine that it needed in some very dark times. Remember, Little and Large were on the telly, Spandau Barry were in the charts, the dole queue reached 3 million.
However, one (master) thatcher was doing the rounds and still is. one of the few in Cheshire and Lancashire. As Mike will tell you, most of his work will live him out. 70 years is how long a thatched roof may last. The ridge at the top a lot less.
A veritable and ancient art. Still alive near the village of Plumley in Cheshire, England UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWKY - Charles MacLeod Stornoway butcher shop, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland UK. Here follows a bit of history:
In the early 1900s, Murdo MacLeod left the village of Keose on the Isle of Lewis bound for South America to work on a Patagonian sheep farm. An expert judge and buyer of livestock, Murdo's employer, Jose Menendez, held him in high esteem. So much so, that on his return to the Isle of Lewis, Murdo was asked to include Menendez in the name of his first-born child. On setting up home in Ropework Cottage, Stornoway, Murdo and wife, Christina thus became parents to Charles Menendez MacLeod.
The tradition continues today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBXKK - Moreton-in-Marsh is a market town in the Evenlode Valley, within the Cotswolds district and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England.
The town stands at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and the A44. It is served by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line. It is relatively flat and low-lying compared with the surrounding Cotswold Hills. The River Evenlode rises near Batsford, runs around the edge of Moreton and meanders towards Oxford, where it flows into the Thames just east of Eynsham.
Just over 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Moreton, the Four shire stone marked the boundary of the historic counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire, until the re-organisation of the county boundaries in 1931. Since then it marks the meeting place of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line.
Moreton is derived from Old English which means Farmstead on the Moor and in Marsh is from henne and mersh meaning a marsh used by birds such as moorhens. An alternative suggestion is that 'Marsh' is a corruption of 'March', early English for boundary
Each September the town hosts the UK's largest one-day agricultural show. Held on part of the Batsford Estate, the show has been running since 1949.
Rail services to/from Moreton-in-Marsh station are provided by Great Western Railway. The fastest direct trains from London Paddington station take around 90 minutes. Since the opening of Worcestershire Parkway railway station in 2020 the fastest journey times from Birmingham have been cut to around 75 minutes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG904C - Hale Head Lighthouse was built to guide ships into the Upper Mersey. It is the most southerly point in Lancashire.
The channel above Garston was first lit in 1838. The original lighthouse at Hale Head was established at the same time, with land being leased from the Blackburne family of Hale Hall.
The original lighthouse was a short square tower. An adjacent cottage had previously been used as a bathing house and was converted into dwellings for the lighthouse keeper and family.
On 1st January 1877 the Upper Mersey Navigation Commission was established, taking over jurisdiction for Hale, Garston and Ince Lighthouses.
Following a survey, a new taller lighthouse was built in 1906 to replace the earlier tower. The new lighthouse exhibited a fixed white light, and a fog bell sounded during poor visibility.
Hale Head Lighthouse was struck by enemy bombing during the Second World War.
Gradually the Mersey silted up along the upper reaches, and in April 1958 the lighthouse was decommissioned and sold as a private residence. The cottage was later demolished and replaced with a new bungalow.
The former optic is on display at Merseyside Maritime Museum, in Liverpool.
The lighthouse was repainted and temporarily re-lit in June 2022 to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
