No. 117 July 2009
Alport goes green as mill is brought back to life
The mini hydro-electric installation at Alport Mill has now been completed and this summer shou ld beg in providing up to 35 homes in Alport with ‘clean’ renewable energy.
The project has been undertaken by owners Haddon Estate and sees the former water-powered corn-grinding mill returned to working action after lying idle for many years.
The modern generating plant actually sits alongside the old mill, a Grade I listed building. Almost all of the new construction will be underground and out of site – in fact, the turbine house will be disguised by an outer ‘green’ roof of sown wild flowers. The mill pond has now been re-flooded and the flow of the River Lathkill has not been affected – it will continue to flow over the weir throughout the year. In addition, the development will have no detrimental effect on the fish or other wildlife, such as water voles and crayfish.
Haddon’s successful planning application was supported by both
Sustainable Youlgrave and Youlgrave Parish Council, who backed the Estate’s vision and commitment to developing a form of renewable energy highly appropriate to the historic, rural setting and National Park designated landscape.
Annual output from the mini hydro scheme is expected to exceed 140,000 kWh per year, which constitutes around 70% of the electrical consumption of the whole of Alport. It is estimated that this will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 100 tonnes every year.

Dear Editor I was reading some old Bugles which a good friend of mine from Youlgrave had sent me and came across the news of the passing of Jack Wheeldon.
Now, in 1944 I was in Regiment 112 RAC and was given the task of marshalling a camp which was near a village called Roland Castle, a few miles from Portsmouth. The camp was designed to accommodate 1,000 troops, all to be fed and watered! Before embarking on D-Day, Jack was one of the many there – I met him in the NAAFI each night for a drink and chat. This went on for a few weeks. No one was allowed out of camp, or at least only on permit. At 3 o’clock on 6 June I could hear troops on the move. At 3.15 a loud voice bellowed through the camp “Cheerio Bill!” This is it, I thought.
I never heard or saw of Jack after that, until a few years before his death. I had just come out of my garden when a stranger came up the yard and said in a broad Derbyshire “Nah laard, dustna no me?” I said yes, because of the Derbyshire dialect. He had come to Winster to see his cousin, Amy Slater, and thought while I’m here I will call and see Bill. We had quite a long chat about the past, of the days when he left our camp near Portsmouth to the landings on D-Day – a memory never to be forgotten.
Bill Slaney Denver House, Winster (born and bred Youlgrave)
(Ellen) Cherry Cockayne (1912-2009) I first became acquainted with Mrs Cockayne when I went to work at our local Infirmary as an auxiliary nurse (definition: strong arms and wooden head). She had been a trained nurse, but after a life of caring for a handicapped daughter and her son being killed in a tragic accident, she did not want the responsibilities of a staff nurse and elected for the humdrum life of caring for the elderly. ( I speak as an elderly myself.) That was way back in 1969 and I came to love my job and Cokie. We were all addressed by our surnames, but a real friendship made that into a shortened version. She became Cokie and I was Vee.
She had a quick, quirky sense of humour and told me of her early days in nursing. When she had trained and qualified she decided to go 'on the District' and was proud of her medical bag and sit-up-and-beg bicycle. Her first assignment was to go to a lady aged 100 and give her a bath. She said
she was terrified. 100 years old! She'd break, she'd be fragile. Cokie lifted her in, washed her lifted her out and was then afraid to rub her with the towel and resorted to patting and dabbing. The old lady suddenly grabbed the towel and began scouring herself. “I can make a better job of it than you, I've been doing it for 100 years!”
Of late, Cokie told me that now she was in her late 90s she was going to make her century. It had become a standing joke. A good friend, always helpful, never complaining, straight as a die. Then a sad little remark the last time we spoke on the phone. She’d moved to Repton and I realised she was slightly confused, but quite compos mentis as she described her room. But that vital spark had dimmed and she tailed off with “I'm not going to make my century”. I did not insult her by making any remark, but felt choked and did not sleep all night.
No century, but she played the game well and truly.

YOULGRAVE VILLAGE HALL
Booking of the hall has now been transferred to Carol Sutcliffe (with help from John): 01629 636570, Old School Hall, Main Street, Youlgrave DE45 1UW. We would be grateful if patrons would pay for the booking of the hall when they pick up the key. Tracking keys is always a problem to us, so in future we shall strictly enforce the rule that Carol will only release a key for a booking on receipt of a £5.00 deposit. The deposit will be returned when the key is returned.
Keys are on permanent loan to some clubs. Please do not use or lend these keys for any other purpose than that for which they were loaned, unless you have the express agreement of Carol (or John). In the past, people have walked into the village hall while another function is in progress. Doing so is usually d i s c o u r t e o u s a n d c a n b e embarrassing!
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.

ALL CHANGE AT YOULGRAVE YOUTH HOSTEL After 23 years at Youlgrave Youth Hostel, Debby Oley, who was known to many of
you, has retired. She will be enjoying a well earned rest and spending some time travelling.
I have taken over as Site Supervisor after working for five years for the YHA, most recently at Hartington. It feels almost like coming home, as I was born in Bakewell although I have not lived there for many years.
You may have noticed that we have opened a cafe at weekends. This will open everyday throughout the summer, and I look forward to meeting and introducing myself to local residents and hopefully being involved in village events.

If you treasure the River Bradford then why not set an example?
We have a very real asset with Bradford Dale. How many others in the country have such a fabulous valley, so close to home? The river has recently been given the highest possible status by the Environment Agency and the margins are rich in nesting habitat and natural sanctuary. The comings and goings of wildlife on the river can continue under our very noses and what a pleasure it is to observe the birds nesting and bringing up their young. However, we have a problem.
The river is turning into a playground for dogs and it is affecting our resident wildlife, in a big way. Our Dippers and wildfowl, our water voles and wagtails are being constantly disturbed by dogs, running in and out of the river and hunting along both river banks.
We should set an example to visitors,
when walking in the Dale, by keeping our dogs on their leads (or close to heal) and out of the river at all times. Some dogs and their owners have a much greater impact than others, but we can all make a difference by setting an example or having a quiet word.
The Haddon river keepers take this matter extremely seriously and are on duty, protecting our wildlife, at all times of the day and night. If you would like to report an incident or would just like a chat about the problem, please call or email me. Thank you. Warren Slaney Haddon Estate Raper Lodge 07801 457 225 [email protected]

Dear Editor, In the March issue, Mr Sissons mentioned the filming
of ‘The Virgin & the Gypsy’ and wanted to know the location of the gypsy camp and the swimming scene. The gypsy camp was near the entrance to the 'Rabbit Warren' on Beeley Moor. This is located alongside the eastern edge of ‘Hell Bank Plantation’, which is above and roughly north east of Beeley village, off Beeley Lane.
The swimming scene took part just over a mile north west from the gypsy camp at 'Swiss Lake', which is above and directly east of Chatsworth House. The 'adulterers' cottage is Swiss Cottage on the eastern bank of the lake.
I first saw 'The Virgin and the Gypsy' when it was on general release in 1970 but, on having recently seen the film on DVD, have just realised where these locations are. Clive Wellings Coniston Cottage, Youlgrave
Dear Editor As the Labour Party Candidate in the County Council Elections held on 4
June, I wish to express a heartfelt thanks to the people of Youlgrave, Middleton, Alport and Harthill who helped me to achieve such a respectable result. First and foremost, thank you to everybody who put trust in me and voted for me in the election. I am aware that many people voted for me on personal merit, despite having allegiances with other political parties. For this I am truly grateful.
Thank you to all my friends and family who came out to vote for me, spent endless hours folding leaflets and walking the streets delivering them. And a huge thank you to all the people who helped ‘behind the scenes’ in their own special way.
I would like to congratulate Cllr Simon Spencer on his election to the County Council. Although this election was not a victory for me, I promise to work with Cllr Spencer over the coming years to ensure that our rural services are protected, our communities are sustained and that the needs of our community are met.
Thank you. Colin Swindell Elton
The Allotment Slot This week Sandra Harrop interviews Jackie Priestley.
What’s on/will be on your Sunday dinner table this week that you have grown? Strawberries, new potatoes and rocket How long have you had your allotment? I’ve been using Mr Robinson’s garden for 3 years. What do you grow every year? I’ve grown purple sprouting broccoli, strawberries, raspberries, peas and French beans. I’ve tried other vegetables, such as cauliflower, lettuce, artichokes and cabbage with varying degrees of success. Anything you wouldn’t grow and why? Runner beans because I don’t like them! What is the hardest thing and the easiest thing you’ve grown? Asparagus is the hardest – I put loads of effort into growing it and I’ve only ever had one stalk in three years. Raspberries are the easiest, since I basically leave them to it. However, they never get to the house as they’re eaten before we get home. Have you had any disasters? For some reason this year’s broccoli, Brussels and cauliflower haven’t come up. That’s a disaster for me. What’s the best tip someone has given you? Mr Robinson has given me loads of useful advice and tips. Too many to mention and all really good. What’s the best tip you would give anyone? Listen to Mr Robinson! What are the upsides and the downsides of having an allotment?
We enjoy eating the fruit and vegetables we’ve grown. The weeds are the downside, they never go away. How many hours do you spend here? Compared with some gardeners – not enough. I try to do as much as I can, but it’s about fours hours a week. Any funny stories? When my daughter was very little she was determined to sit in the middle of the garden and eat soil. What do you do if you have a glut of stuff? Give it to others or make ice cream with it. What are the three essentials to a good allotment? Good soil (thanks to Mr Robinson), lots of weeding and regular watering. Who is your favourite TV gardener? It’s got to be Monty Don, and not just for his gardening tips. What are you going to do now? Make some strawberry ice cream and water my tomatoes.
BUGLE LETTERS: VOTING, A VIRGIN AND A VISIT
Dear Editor, My husband and I are coming from Australia to stay in Youlgreave for a week in about a month’s time.
We are visiting Youlgreave because of a family connection with the area dating back to the 1700s. The family living in Youlgreave that we are interested in is the Terry Family. Edward Terry married Martha Foxlow at Youlgreave in 1757 and they had several children all being baptised in All Saints Youlgreave. They are both buried in the churchyard at Youlgreave. We also have family connections to Sheldon, Swan, Cantrell and Hughes families.
Do you know of anyone in the area who has an interest in the local history that may be able to help us find out more about these families? Is there a local history group or library that may have records dating back to the 1700s? We have already purchased a copy of Val Neale's CD with the Youlgreave Parish Registers.

A GARDEN HISTORY In 1992, Maggie Ford moved into Rising Moon Cottage on Dale View, Bankside. The garden w a s e n o r m o u s , descending in terraces down the bank. The lower part, an overgrown jungle concealing a semi- derelict stone summer house, hadn’t been touched for about 50 years. It took five months to discover it all. Maggie had a dream to turn this part of the garden into a wildlife garden; her son, musician Dorian, had a dream of playing a clavichord in the ‘restored’ Victorian summer house. Saturday 11 July celebrates the fulfilment of the ‘dream’ – though a keyboard will be played, not a clavichord!
In 2000 Maggie won an Earthwatch Millennium award which took her to Patagonia tagging and researching carnivores. Part of the condition of the award was to instigate some sort of wildlife initiative in the UK. Earthwatch would then contribute £200 to the chosen project. So, a wildlife garden – on £200? Of course, not feasible. But as a result of research with other enthusiastic people in the village, in particular Andrew McCloy and members of the Parish Council, planning permission was obtained from the Peak Park to create a Community Wildlife Garden.
So, the garden became a reality. The land was transferred to Trustees from
Dorian Ford Sophie Trott Brian Roche Maggie Ford Simon Frost

BANKSIDE WILDLIFE GARDEN: OFFICIAL OPENING
Youlgrave who would manage and own the garden on behalf of the village. The Peak Park’s Sustainable Development Fund provided the majority of the finance to restore the summer house, create a footpath, dig a pond, purchase shrubs and trees and structure the steep hillside into an accessible place for the general public. Asa Cooper and his wonderful team of builders proved invaluable, as did Paul Bristow and the various working parties from the village, including the Guides and BTCV.
Although the garden is in its infancy with immature trees, shrubs and a burgeoning meadow area, it’s already rich in wildlife and provides a wonderful peaceful retreat, with two garden benches overlooking the dale. There is now a handrail on the path down from Bankside, as well as rails on the paths in the garden. So, do join us in the celebrations on 11 July. The birds are busy rehearsing, awaiting their audience.

WI: Pearls for Girls! Our May meeting was one of the best in my WI experience! We had a fantastic talk by Rashelle Maltz-Jones on freshwater pearls and after we were able to make our own bracelet with the many pearls, beads and stones she had bought.
We were delighted to welcome a new member and new faces to the meeting and hope to see many more in the Autumn.
The WI is not having a meeting in July because it is our 90th birthday celebrations and we are all going for lunch at Biggin Hall to celebrate. We are having a summer outing in August so our next meeting will be on Tuesday 8 September.
We are also delighted to be welcoming Sir Richard FitzHerbert Bt on 29 September who will be addressing a gathering of local WI branches (Monyash, Asford-in-the-Water, Great Longstone, Over Haddon, Bakewell) at the Village Hall in Youlgrave, as this is the official celebration of Youlgrave WI’s 90th anniversary.
I have mentioned in previous articles the WI trip to the Chatsworth Farm shop on 5 October which is now fully booked, I am afraid!
DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: Tuesday, 13 October – special evening dedicated to welcoming any women interested in knowing more about WI and what we do. If you have just moved into the village and want to meet some interesting and fun women, if you want a chance to escape the working day or if you just want an evening of tea, cakes and a little gossip – then the WI is for you! Hope you can make it. Lucy Stirling (30-something WI convert - who can tell you for a fact that there may be some Jerusalem in the meeting but I have never heard Jam mentioned!)
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who
supported the Ladies Night – in total we
raised almost £1,200.
A great time was had by everyone, and we are delighted at all
the fantastic feedback we have
received.

Remembering Sue Lomas Youlgrave Guides pay tribute in a special reunion event
Have you been a member of the Guide Movement at some time or other? September 2009 sees the start of celebrations for Girl Guiding’s centenary year, culminating in a national ceremony on 20 October 2010 (at 20:10hrs!).
Youlgrave Guides have several events and activities planned for their own celebration, starting slightly early with our forthcoming trip to Iceland at the end of July. One of the other things we are planning to do is to produce a DVD about ladies and girls in Youlgrave and how Guiding has played a part in their lives. If you were a Ranger, Guide, Brownie or Rainbow in the village, or elsewhere, we would like to talk to you and hear your memories and thoughts on your time in the movement. If people are willing, we would like to interview them on film to use on the DVD. Also, do you have any old photographs which you could lend us to scan in and use in displays (and, again, possibly on the DVD)?
If anyone can help us at all please contact Penny McCloy on 636125.
In the mid 1980s Youlgrave Guides won a prestigious national competition called Adopt and Cherish – here Youlgrave Ranger Guides Susan Brassington and Genevieve Wilson are pictured receiving an award in London.

On Friday 22nd of May, six Youlgrave Guides, Rosie Elliott, Christabel Windle, Alice Dawes, Natasha Clarke, Megan Percival and myself Billie Pursglove, met Penny at the Scout Hut. She was up in the loft already, getting all the camp equipment out!
After around 45 minutes we all said goodbye to our parents and set off for Drumhill where the Camp was being held. As soon as we arrived we had to find our campsite, which wasn't too hard. As soon as we had found it we had to put tents up, it was quite hard but we managed. As we all looked forward to the upcoming events we attempted to get to sleep.
Our tent was up very early because we were all really excited. We all talked together while we waited for breakfast, after that we had to go to Flag Break which is where every morning they raised the British Flag and told you about competitions coming up during the day. One of them was called the cannon ball run, you had to run with a cannon filled with small sponge balls and pass it to your team mates and pull it around obstacles and the team with lowest time won - and a team from Youlgrave won: Rosie Elliott, Alice Dawes, Christabel Windle and myself.
Throughout the day there were

Promote yourself and your business in the new Youlgrave Business Directory Parish Plan initiative aims to boost local businesses and professionals
Over the next couple of months a Youlgrave Business Directory is being compiled with the intention of publicising and promoting all the local businesses and people offering professional services – large and small. It will be open to anyone self-employed who perhaps works from home and has a service they would like to publicise.
The best news of all is that the basic listing will be completely FREE OF CHARGE to anyone from the Youlgrave area, but there will also be the chance to take out small box ads for a modest sum (provisionally £10).
The Directory is an initiative from the Business group of Youlgrave Parish Plan and will be financed partly from Parish Plan funds and (it is hoped) an additional grant.
To have a free listing in the Business Directory please fill in the box on the next page and either send it to Pat Coleman at Auburn House, Church Street, Youlgrave DE45 1WL or leave it at Youlgrave Post Office (marked ‘Parish Plan’).
Over the next month we will also be contacting all the local businesses and professional people we can think of in order to make the Directory as comprehensive and useful as possible.
When it is published we will distribute copies to every household, including holiday cottages and local Tourist Information Centres, plus
there will be plenty of spare copies via village shops, pubs, the Garage, and so on. It is your chance to promote who you are and what you do to a wide audience!
So, what kind of service or product will we be listing? Well, how about:
Accommodation providers Shops and pubs Artists and craftsmen/women Motor services Handyman/odd jobs Music teachers Cleaning services Farms and farm providers Food and drink specialists Yoga and massage Computer and IT services Taxis Joiners, plumbers, plasterers Quarry products This is not an exhaustive list, just an indication of what kind of person or bus iness can be f ea tu red . Remember, you don’t have to be a large profit-making company or thriving business – you may simply be an individual with a specialist service or part time earner in search of some more clients or sales.
If you have any questions contact Pat Coleman on 636586 or Dee Frith on 636911.

The year is 1844. A man answers a newspaper advertisement inviting him
to join a ship bound for arctic waters north of Greenland. What did he hope to find? Was there something in his past life that
compelled him to travel to this inhospitable place? Or was it simply the fulfilment of some deep, unarticulated dream?
His experiences on the voyage, the loneliness and the merciless cold change him forever. As the certainties of his early life are stripped away we see what
really drives him as he comes face to face with death.
The Three Peaks Challenge is to climb the highest mountain in Scotland (Ben Nevis at 4,370 ft), the highest mountain in England (Scafell Pike, 3,162 ft) and the highest moun ta i n i n Wa les (Snowdon, 3,560 ft) – all within 24 hours. The proposed itinerary is: Friday 24 July – drive to
Ben Nevis for a 5pm start. Climb and descend in five hours and then start the drive to Scafell Pike in the Lake District.
Saturday 25 July – arrive at Scafell Pike and start the ascent at 4am. Climb and descend in five hours and then drive to Snowdon in Wales.
Arrive at Snowdon and start the ascent at 1pm. Climb and descend in four hours for a 5pm finish and collapse!
We are raising sponsorship for our work’s chosen charities: MacMillan Cancer Support, Br i t ish Heart

Don’t forget to drop off your batteries Your old and used batteries can now be safely disposed of at collection points around Youlgrave. A joint venture between Sustainable Youlgrave and the University of Sheffield has established collection points at Hollands and Parkers Butchers, Youlgrave Post Office and Youlgrave Garage. Look for the plastic tubs with lids – they are already filling up and will be emptied regularly – and simply drop in all your spent batteries. Domestic batteries of any size or shape (from AA and AAA to watch and camera batteries) are welcome.
The collection of spent batteries is part of a pilot scheme run by the University of Sheffield, whose students are gathering data as to numbers and types of batteries that people use. Some of the collected batteries are then used for laboratory studies into recycling methods. The remains, together with any batteries not used for this purpose, are then taken to a major recycler. The University staff say they really do appreciate the participation of the people of Youlgrave and the shopkeepers and garage owners who are hosting the ‘collecting stations’.
DID YOU KNOW? The average household uses 21 batteries a year. Around 600 million UK household batteries (22,000 tonnes) – that’s the equivalent weight of 110 Jumbo Jets – are sent to landfill unnecessarily every year. See www.wrap.org.uk

The saga of the Church steps handrail When the short, wooden handrail on the steps between All Saints
churchyard and the School gate broke in 2006, little did the Parish Council know that it would take three years of endless correspondence and two
official complaints to force Derbyshire County Council to replace it. Parish Council Chairman Andrew McCloy chronicles their battle with County
Hall and what it takes to stand up for local interests.
July 2006 Youlgrave Parish Clerk reports broken handrail to Derbyshire County Council (DCC) Rights of Way Officer. Unsafe handrail later removed by village persons for safety reasons and stored at Vicarage. November 2006 Parish Clerk eventually receives reply that in DCC’s opinion the steps don’t appear to require a handrail in the first place. Youlgrave Parish Councillors strongly disagree, citing numerous complaints from local residents. Clerk instructed to respond accordingly. No handrail in place throughout the winter. March 2007 YPC approaches Derbyshire County Councillor Ray Caswell who generously agrees to make some of his own funds available to pay for the new handrail. DCC Rights of Way Officer, Phil Berry, agrees to arrange for new handrail to be prepared. Still no date for installation. June 2007 District Councillor Andrew McCloy emails DCC to point out that the handrail is on a public right of way and is a vital aid for elderly residents negotiating what can be
difficult and slippery steps. He requests that it is put in place for Welldressing. Reply received from Mr Berry appreciating the delay but stating that the handrail would be “in situ by the 23rd”. The handrail fails to materialise. July 2007
DCC email received saying that the handrail had been “commissioned” and that authorisation was being sought from the National Park Heritage Team for installation. “Once this has been established, the rail can be made and installed within two weeks and I am hopeful that authority will be given this week,” writes Mr Berry. Once more the handrail fails to materialise. August 2007 DCC email: ”The Peak Park Conservation Officer has confirmed that whilst they are happy with the proposal to install a
permanent handrail, they wish to specify a more appropriate design than that which was initially proposed. I am currently seeking an alternative from a foundry near Buxton and will keep you informed of progress.” Still no sign of the handrail. September 2007 A further DCC email confirms that they are awaiting delivery of the handrail “and will
arrange for its installation immediately it is in our possession.” The handrail, of course, fails to materialise. November 2007 Youlgrave Parish Clerk emails DCC to pass on Youlgrave Parish Councillors’ concern that the handrail must be in place before wintry weather arrives, when ice and leaves can make the steps hazardous. No reply. January 2008 YPC Chair once more asks DCC why the handrail has not been installed. No reply. YPC installs temporary handrail at its own expense. February 2008 YPC authorises Parish Clerk to make a formal complaint to DCC about the delay, inaction and total lack of response. April 2008 Reply from DCC Principal Admin Officer apologising for delay and admitting that in fact no order has actually been made for a handrail as a suitable supplier cannot be found. May 2008 YPC instructs Clerk to respond to DCC expressing dissatisfaction in their reply to its complaint and disappointment that the matter remains unresolved. They also suggest suitable local suppliers, including the foundry on Monyash Road, Bakewell. The following day an email arrives from DCC thanking YPC for the information and saying that they are contacting a supplier in Stoney Middleton the next day. December 2008 After several months of no news the clerk again emails DCC. No reply. January 2009 Clerk sends a second official complaint to DCC. A reply is received assuring YPC that the matter is now receiving urgent attention and that they will appraise us of the situation by the end of February.
The handrail finally installed last month.
March 2009 A specification for a handrail is submitted to the Peak Park and Council for approval. April 2009 YPC receives a letter from DCC asking if the handrail is acceptable and stating that it can be installed within a month. YPC replies by phone “Yes!”. June 2009 After another month of silence, Parish Clerk once more asks DCC for installation date. Finally receives positive news from DCC Principal Admin Officer: “I am sorry that this matter has been prolonged and hope that once the rail is in situ both locals and visitors find it of assistance.” Installation promised for 12 June. Handrail installed 9 June.
