have found a fair few on buggys old station.....but not the 2 loco one....one for my dad that ....he's a big steam buff!
love the barren clough pic....thats perry much half the view from the back off the house...great stuff....
mr** i have lost your link!....will try a search
i have 2 books to search out now! thanks guys...
is it worth a search through local libiarys too for images?.......
one thing that always stikes me in a lot of the old pics, is the lack of trees!........The whole area is so green now compared saw an early pic of new road looking towards the church...and not a tree in sight.......would this be to do with felling for local fuel?
thanks again averyone...

Moogie,
Here's another one for your dad; not quite Buggie but at the Buggie end of Chinley Station in 1951.
Glenda probably likes this one for the full telegraph poles in the background.
By the way, have you joined Buggie Club yet? There's a few old farts who know a lot about the village go in there.

Moogie,
In the course of a conversation in the Old Hall last night, the matter of a gasometer, or gasometers, at the bottom of Jane Lane came up.
It would appear to me that your semi-buried structures (from your original post) will be the remains of these. No one seemed to know for definite if the gasometer was actually ever completed, or if it was only ever a partly finished project. They would have been built by the Whaley Bridge and Chapel Gas Company.
You are more than welcome to borrow my copy of "Bygone Days of Chinley". Is your house the one with the door under the "JMS" sign?

Moogie,
Another train photo from close to Rosey Bank, looking back towards Bugsworth station. An 8F, with steam leaking from everywhere struggles up the gradient towards Chinley with a heavy goods train. I must have taken this in 1967/8.

Many thanks......that would deffo explain a lot....as one of the structures is a perfect circle, like a concrete foundation base for a possible 'gas' container...?
strange parts of the feild down there...i wonder who owns the land...
my house is the one next to the sign.....with the freshley painted red door!! (without giving the number out!! ;-)
i have 'heard'.....this was the main entrance to the house when it was all one property..(if that is true),.......as has the original staircase with part in stone......the other houses have stair cases that run up thru the middle of the house....like a normal terrace...where as ours runs up from a hallway as a norml larger house would have....
and we also have all the space out back with the stone garage and another bit of land behind.....seems like if the houses were partitioned the deeds gave our house all the land left....with right of way to the other properties...
great pic......infact reminds me ...a month or so back ...heard the stangest noise ......heard a puffing....and a first thought it was the traction engine comming up the road from the whaley water weekend.....
only to get a shock when it was a steam loco powerting past the house.....was brillant....gave me a shiver....you know....just a tiny window into what it was like living there a long time gone.....the noise the steam etc
great stuff.....
any books I can borrow of anyone would be great ........just need to arange collection and get them back to you ...
many thanks
moogie.....

Hi Moogie
I haven't had chance to delve into the Family History with regard to John Simpson yet, but have a look at the wall of the old Toll House opposite the bridge at New Smithy next time you pass and see what you can observe. |

Moogie
On the 1881 census there's a John Simpson, aged 58, Stonemason, Born Chapel-en-le-Frith living at Rosey Bank.
Wife Margaret, aged 62, also born Chapel-en-le-Frith
daughter Mary M Simpson, age 28, Cotton Weaver, born Bugsworth
daughter Eliza, age 24, domestic servant, born Bugsworth
granddaughter Margaret Thorpe, aged 11, scholar, born Whaley Bridge
granddaghter M......... Simpson, aged 4, born Bugsworth
If you think this is your Simpson, let me know and I will delve a little further !!

ermmm Jon... no need to be so mean !! I didn't mention his name..I didn't reveal mine, but so what anyway: my member name could easily be my own as is yours..
I merely said I now knew who he was.. I can't help it if there's more clues to a well connected Whaley-ite than Miss Marple's Casebook !!!
I'll be making myself known to 'him' in person shortly anyway, so there would have been no need to reveal all.
( i suppose you'll use your poweres to remove this post too... feel free dear Councillor/ Moderator )

A very good afternoon to you, Moogie,
This is an old photo that I have that was in a pile of stuff on Bugsworth.
I truly do not know if this does in actual fact relate to Buggy though.
You will have to make your own investigations I am afraid.
Just going back to the Chapel that was up for sale in 2008 for £450,000:
This building was first offered for sale in about 1980 for £13,000 (thirteen thousand pounds) and there was no interest.
The price reflected the lack of interest and it dropped to £8,000 and I went to have a look.
I can’t remember now what put me off but I am pretty sure it sold for about £6,500 in the end.
At that time a fairly good house could be bought for about £30,000.
R. S-S
