Sorry I posted this on the General Discussion side by mistake.
Here it is repeated:
Hello fellow historians and you know who you are and you know who I mean. I have already contacted some of you so I apologize to the ones that I have been unable to contact.
The WB forum has been polluted for a very long time now and we think a new start would be in the best interests of anyone who wishes to discuss or learn about historical Whaley in a polite and professional manner.
Others such as Digger, Towpath Tommy who do not have a lot to contribute on the history of WB but enjoy reading the tales would be most welcome.
These are topics for the immediate future and all will be backed up with newspaper reports at the time and photographs where available:
1. Coal mines and miners, accidents and treatment of workers by employers at the time.
2. Fernilee.
3. Taxal.
4. Churches.
5. Old buildings and street scenes.
6. WB Friendly Societies.
7. Grimshawes of Errwood.
8. Industry: Blandola, Botany, CPA/ Printworks (Whaley Hall) Goyt Mill, Meveril, Wireworks.
9. Jodrell Family.
10. Local families.
11. Mechanics Institute and Bowling Club.
12. N W W.
13. Pickfords
14. The Railway from first beginnings to the Buxton extension.
15. Dickie’s Skull and the terror it caused.
16. Crimes.
17. Miscellaneous events about WB and its people.
18. Surrounding areas such as Buggy, Furness, Dove Holes, Chapel, Buxton and so on.
A link to the new web site will be put on here in the next week or so (provided that this is not deleted on here) to let you know where these topics will be able to be viewed but you will need to join that site (just as you joined this one) to read these historical documents and stories. It will be a site closely monitored so that nobody will be able to mess about with photos and be abusive.
Snoopy you are most welcome by the way and I hope to see you soon.
