Cottingham is a large village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England with average affluence. It lies just north-west of the city of Kingston upon Hull, and 3.5 miles from the city centre. Cottingham is part of the Hull urban area, functioning as a suburb. With a parish population of over 17,000 in 2011, Cottingham is one of the villages claiming to be the largest village in England.
According to one etymology, Cottingham is thought to derive from both British and Saxon root words: Cot from Ket, relating to the deity Ceridwen; ing a water meadow; and ham meaning home; the name corresponding to habitation in the water meadows of Ket. The name has also been suggested to derive from a man's name Cotta plus -inga- (OE belonging to/named after) and ham; corresponding to habitation of cotta's people. Archaic spellings include Cotingeham (Domesday, 1086), and Cotingham (Charter, 1156; John Leland, 1770).
Cottingham parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, was built between 1272 and 1370; it is a large cruciform stone-built church in a mixture of the decorated and perpendicular Gothic styles. By the 1850s Cottingham was a substantial village, with housing along its main streets of Northgate, Hallgate, King Street, Newgate Street, South Street, and Thwaite Street.
The approximate boundaries of the modern civil parish of Cottingham are the A164 Beverley to Humber Bridge bypass to the west and Kingston upon Hull to the east, in particular the edges of Orchard Park estate and North Hull Estate. The southern boundary is in fields between the village and Willerby and Hull. The southern half of the parish consists mostly of the town of Cottingham, as well as Castle Hill Hospital. Historically, Cottingham was noted for its springs: ones to the north of the town formed a north to south riverlet through the town, that drove Snuff Mill; whilst a large and vigorous gypsey existed at Keldgate.
The modern village has two main shopping streets, Hallgate and King Street which cross each other: Hallgate runs east-west from the medieval church to triangular West Green, near the location of the former Baynard Castle; King Street runs north-south from Northgate to Newgate, Market Green (now a car park) is on the southern half of King Street, on the west side, and is the location of the council offices, library and civic hall.
Cottingham is served by Cottingham railway station that provides an intermediate stop between Hull and Beverley on the Yorkshire Coast Line to Scarborough. Bus services are provided by Stagecoach Hull and East Yorkshire Motor Services. Cottingham was the birthplace of the 1940s and 1950s female boxing champion Barbara Buttrick, the first female boxer to have her fight broadcast on national television.

Todmorden is a market town and civil parish in the Upper Calder Valley in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. Todmorden is 17 miles from Manchester. Todmorden is at the confluence of three steep-sided Pennine valleys and is surrounded by moorlands with outcrops of sandblasted gritstone.
The historic boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire is the River Calder and its tributary, the Walsden Water, which run through the town. The administrative border was altered by the Local Government Act 1888 placing the whole of the town within the West Riding. The town is served by Todmorden and Walsden railway stations.
Other villages and towns in the Upper Calder Valley include Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd. The territory of the civil parish of Todmorden also extends to cover Eastwood, Walsden, Cornholme, Mankinholes, Lumbutts, Robinwood, Lydgate, Portsmouth, Shade, Stansfield, Dobroyd, Ferney Lee, Gauxholme and Cross Stone.
Medieval Todmorden had consisted of the townships of Langfield and Stansfield in Yorkshire, and Todmorden/Walsden section of the greater township of Hundersfield in the Ancient Parish of Rochdale, Lancashire. The township of Todmorden and Walsden was created in 1801 by the union of the older villages of Todmorden and Walsden.
Todmorden has a Greek Revival town hall (built 1866–1875) which dominates the centre of the town. The building straddles the Walsden Water, a tributary of the River Calder, and was situated in both Lancashire and Yorkshire until the administrative county boundary was moved on 1 January 1888. Designed by John Gibson of Westminster, this imposing building has a northern end which is semi-circular.
Todmorden has the look of a Victorian mill town. Other notable buildings include Dobroyd Castle (completed in 1869), now used as a residential activity centre for schoolchildren; the Edwardian Hippodrome Theatre, and the Grade I listed Todmorden Unitarian Church (built 1865–1869). Dobroyd Castle, the town hall and the Unitarian church were all built at the behest of John Fielden and his sons and designed by John Gibson, who had been a member of Charles Barry's team at the Houses of Parliament. Pre-Victorian buildings include two 18th century pubs; Todmorden Old Hall, a Grade II* listed manor house (Elizabethan) in the centre of town, and St. Mary's Church which dates from 1476.
Todmorden is situated alongside the Pennine Way, Pennine Bridleway, Mary Towneley Loop and Calderdale Way and is popular for outdoor activities such as walking, fell running, mountain biking and bouldering. Its attractions include canals and locks, a park containing a sports centre, an outdoor skateboard park, tennis courts, a golf course, an aquarium/reptile house and a cricket ground. There are wooded areas around the town and cafés and restaurants. The Hippodrome Theatre shows films as well as putting on live performances. The town has a small toy and model museum, a library and a tourist information centre, along with independent retailers. Annual events include a carnival, agricultural show, beer festival, music festival and the traditional Easter Pace Egg plays.
Centre Vale Park in Todmorden is the setting for several pieces of local art, including tree carvings by the sculptor John Adamson. Also in the park are the reconstructed remains of Centre Vale Mansion, next to Todmorden War Memorial in the Garden of Remembrance, and nearby there is a sculpture of a dog. This was sculpted by local sculptor David Wynne in 2005, and was cast in steel at the local Todmorden foundry Weir Minerals.

The Streets of Beverley 1960s archive ref EYBE
Travel through time to the 1960s and view the streets of Beverley as they were in the time of mop tops, mini-skirts & Morris Minors. Aside from the classic cars, the character of the town remains virtually unchanged, but brief glimpses of the Armstrong (shock absorber manufacturers) offices on Eastgate, and the Grovehill shipyard, remind us of Beverley’s forgotten industries.
There’s a serene tranquility about Beverley’s streets that lurks everywhere with this charming amateur footage, which includes North Bar, Saturday Market, Hengate, St Mary’s Church, Lairgate, Sow Hill, Wednesday Market, Newbegin, Dyer Lane, Keldgate, the Friary, and Flemingate.
The music was recorded by ‘Matthew & Son’ at Fairview Studios, Willerby, during the 1960s and appears on the album ‘Front Room Masters’.
(This video is part of the East Riding Archives DVD ‘The Colour of Beverley’ which showcases some of the first footage of the town in colour. It’s available from Beverley Tourist Information Centre and the Treasure House shop, Champney Road, Beverley (priced £5.99).

Stannington Sunday Bells
The bells of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Stannington in Northumberland
This imposing village church is a Victorian rebuild of 1871. The main benefactor was Sir Matthew White Ridley, 4th Baronet of nearby Blagdon Hall. His son, also Matthew White Ridley, would later be promoted to Viscount. Blagdon remains the family seat to this day.
The eight bells in this church were added much later in 1934 and were cast by John Taylor & Co. of Loughborough. Tuned to the musical note Db Major, the heaviest bell weighs 30 cwt - 1 qtr - 16 lb (~1.5 tonnes)!
In most UK churches, bells are mounted on a wheel and are turned full circle (360 degrees, see One person controls one bell in the tower. However, at Stannington, the bells are hung stationary (dead) off a beam across the tower and are all played by one person known as a carillonneur. The clappers are connected to a clavier further down the tower and the clavier is played much like a piano (see
