I'm told that the line curving to the right of the loco was the line onto the spoil tip.

George Savile quote
. . .
One morning as I stepped out of the car to work, this pink crystal necklace broke. All the beads were scattered in the car and more on the street. I picked up only those I can see and brought them home.
Then one day when I came home from work, I saw my Mom putting every bead together. She didn't use the usual fragile string but instead, tiny wire strands she individually coiled herself.
My mother made my pink necklace priceless, like an heirloom piece - truly remarkable down to every detail. This shows how patient she is. It doesn't matter how big or small. She has the will to do it!
Thanks, Mom! :)

"I loved that movie. Everyone was bald in it, so that's why I couldn't immediately place you."
"Are you going to continue acting?"
"No, I didn't enjoy it much. Tatum made me manager here and I think it suits me better."
John B Ogden, a geographer who lived in Elmfield Terrace, Savile Park, Halifax and taught at the Halifax polytech, Percival Whitley College, introduced us to this Yorkshire town through colour slides and casette recordings sent in the mail. He was an author of several books including books on the geography, history and contemporary life in the Calder Valley. And we reciprocated sharing widely on the geography, history and life in Australia, focussing on our local area in Brisbane and South East Queensland.
This exchange came about through a newly immigrant family to Brisbane, who, as they left Halifax received a brief letter from John to pass on to someone in Australia who might become John's "penfriend" providing information and images on Australia that would enrich his teaching of Australian geography to his A-level students at Percival Whitley College. (This college was rebranded as Calderdale College in 1988.)
We responded to that letter, and subsequently a tape and slides were exchanged monthly for the next 5 years. Then Ian was seconded to the British Foreign Office and appointed to the Commonwealth Institute in London. There our task was to seek to satisfy the demand for education about Australia through the Institute's "Talks to Schools" program.
On arrival at the Commonwealth Institute one very cold day in January 1978, I familiarised myself with the campervan that I bought, and then resolved to drive to Halifax to meet John Ogden and spend the weekend with him and his wife and family. The staff at the Institute were stunned: no one drives from London to Halifax for a weekend, and certainly not a newly arrived man from the colonies!
I drove north out of London early that Friday afternoon onto the M1, eventually swung west onto the M62, onto the slip road at Junction 24 and arrived at John's front gate in Savile Park at 10:45pm.
"Gidday mate" he said as I opened my car door, He had seen my campervan with a small kangaroo decal on its side (the previous owner had added that touch) driving into Halifax and heading straight to his address. John had just been down to pick up his daughter from youth group, when he spotted me. As he followed he was impressed that I took the right turns to arrive in his terrace and stop at his gate! After all, for 5 years I had been receiving maps of Halifax, photos galore and recorded detailed descriptions of Halifax. I knew the place as if I had lived there for 5 years.
And what a joy it was to unite with each other! And yes I did arrive back in London late on Sunday night, and so began my "Talks to Schools" assignments that took me all of the UK, a week or a fortnight at a time in a different Local Education Authority. Then in 2nd term one of those assignments was to Halifax. And one day in my schedule was spent at Percival Whitley College with the A-level Geography class for, needless to say, they were studying Australia as their special focus for the final exams.
Rufford Abbey is the best-preserved remains of a Cistercian abbey west cloister range in England. It's a Grade I Listed Building, (English Heritage). Built between 1147 and 1170 and from 1233 onwards, is now a partial ruin. Rufford Abbey Country Park, owned by Nottinghamshire County Council and managed by Parkwood Outdoors, is one of Nottinghamshire's favourite attractions.
In 1146 Gilbert de Gaunt, Earl of Lincoln, founded the Cistercian abbey of St Mary the Virgin. The monks of this order, also known as the ‘white monks’ because of their habits of undyed wool, believed in the value of an austere life based upon prayer and hard work. Rufford Abbey was moderately wealthy and able to sustain a community of monks between its completion in about 1170 and its suppression in 1536.
Rufford was one of the first abbeys in England to be affected by the Suppression of the Monasteries, and the whole estate was quickly acquired by George Talbot, 4th Earl of Shrewsbury. The conversion of the west range of monastic buildings into a house (1560–90) was undertaken by the sixth earl, who was the fourth and final husband of the indomitable Bess of Hardwick, from whom he was then bitterly estranged.
In 1610, a new projecting wing was added to the northern end of this range.
The estate was inherited in 1626 by Mary Talbot, sister of the 7th and 8h Earls of Shrewsbury, and it passed to her husband, George Savile.
