Mill Lane closed off outside the Barge Pub during Sainsbury's Supermarket construction - diversion along Phoenix Street - 28 August 1998

Mill Lane closed off during the building of Sainsbury's Supermarket - a big change in the town centre. Now in 2024 we have even more supermarkets - how many does a town with a population of approximately 33,000 actually need.

Water Water everywhere - The Ford is over flowing c2003

Driving through the Ford in Thornhill Beck Lane was not recommended on this day in 2003.... But as always there will be those that will try it and wonder why they get stuck in the middle and then have to be towed out.

New bridge across the canal...

This scene on the canal is about 2000 and shows the canal being dredged of silt and no doubt a few shopping baskets and possibly the odd trolley as well. With a bit of luck they might find an old safe having been dumped by some burglars.

It could be in this location where the new bypass road would go across the canal having followed the road down Halifax Road, through the un-made car park. It is interesting that over the last week repairs and re-laying of car park surfaces have been announced in the news, but did you notice the same as I did that there was no mention of this car park being repaired or  being re-surfaced. Once the bridge carries traffic across the canal the route will be on Bridge Road behind the Golden Hind fish and chip restaurant.

 ***PLEASE NOTE FOLLOWING AN EMAIL FROM THE SECRETARY TODAY THIS EVENT HAS HAD TO BE CANCELLED FOR THIS YEAR***

 

With another year having gone by it is almost time for the old boys of Rastrick Grammar School to meet for another annual Old Rastrickians' Association dinner. I am sure many of its members will be thinking just how quick they come around. Even after so many of these annual gatherings it is still an event they all look forward to.

This year's event will no doubt have many of the usual ingredients ensuring it will be a great night. It will give the members of the association the opportunity to catch up with old school mates, share memories and no doubt a few well-worn tall stories as well. This is a wonderful annual tradition and long may it continue.
