furnaces, a number of walks to
industrial archaeology sites and
visits to local museums. In
September, after Covid restrictions
eased, we were able to resume our
lecture programme.
Our secretary, Sarah, has
established a regular newsletter full
of interesting articles and news of
group activities. Elspeth Dennett
volunteered to be Researcher for
the group and has undertaken
research on local mill owners and
Quakers and has led a walk around
Summerseat bringing to life its
industrial past. In June Sarah
resigned as committee secretary
due to other commitments but
happily will continue to edit the
newsletters. Janet Waterworth will
succeed Sarah as our secretary.
A group of about 20 SPAG members
are currently involved in our
Tunstead Project to record and
investigate the Grade II listed
Waggoner Tunstead Farmhouse and
the surrounding vaccaries. Roger
Grimshaw has applied for a grant to
enable us to pay for a geophysical
survey of a site where we are
planning to organise an
archaeological dig.
Summary
The group continues to grow and is
making a positive impact on our
members’ lives. We are certainly
“stimulating interest in the history
and heritage of the South Pennines
by archaeological excavation,
research, field walking, talks and
other methods” as laid down in our
Charitable Objectives.
