There are of course plenty of things happening this month aside from an excuse to eat lots of chocolate! Did you know, for example, that 9th April is National Unicorn Day, and that 10th April is Siblings Day? Then we have Earth Day on 22nd April, which has been given added emphasis by recent events and media attention on climate change. The organisers are providing lots of information and free resources for young and old alike who want to become more involved in this vital subject (www.earthday.org).It feels great to have an editorial about The Folk & Boat Festival in this edition, I am very much looking forward to it taking place this year.Recently I’ve been reading about how our shopping habits have been changing, especially in this post-lockdown era. According to current predictions, we can look forward to more hybrid retail/digital shopping experiences, more checkout free stores, and rapid growth in the reuse/recycling sector with the second-hand clothing market expected to grow faster than fast fashion. It looks like 2022 is set to be an interesting year in more ways than one!We’ve certainly noticed the changes here at The Go Local. We’re receiving enquiries from an even more diverse range of businesses who have created some very smart ways of serving our community. It’s always fascinating for us to hear their stories and of course help design their marketing campaigns. So if you own or manage a local business, no matter how large or small, then please get in touch to ﬁnd out how we can help you spread the word about the great services you provide.Whatever the upcoming Easter break has in store for you, I hope you and your family get to spend some time together.

Today it’s just a short slip road running past ‘The Vaults’ car park to join St Michael’s Way, but back then it led to one of Henry Seddon’s open pan salt works, where ‘The Moorings’ can now be found, and then joined Webbs Lane. A short row of houses facing the telephone exchange across St Michael’s Way is all that now remains of Pepper Street. Vernon Cooper’s shop on the corner, retailers of Ferguson TVs and ECKO radios, started life as the Black Bear Inn and was a rival for Harold Woodbine’s Electrical Shop just a couple of doors away. Harold sold and rented Philips TV sets and other electrical goods. I have a fond memory of ordering an L.P. from Woodbine’s back in 1963.The record seemed to take weeks and weeks to arrive but when it did, I played it until the grooves were white with wear. It was ‘With The Beatles’(the mono pressing, of course). A year earlier my eldest brother, Glynn,had brought home the group’s ﬁrst single, ‘Love Me Do’. I’d like to say that I thought this early ‘waxing’ was great, but I didn’t.I thought it was boring. By the following year I’d obviously changed mymind about this Liverpool beat combo.On the extreme right of the photo, you can see the wall of Middlewich’s Town Hall, which disappeared soon after to be replaced by the hated ‘piazza’, in its turn replaced by the current ‘Roman Amphitheatre’ in 2008. That little piece of road was part of Lower Street. Nowadays just a short stub remains as a bus stop.The only building seen here which still exists is the former Jagee Fireplaces building, seen just to the left of the Town Hall, which is now Town Bridge Estate Agents.Dave RobertsMiddlewich Memories

16Community Bowling Club...THE Middlewich Alkali Social and Sports Club was opened in Brooks Lane, Middlewich in 1919. Initially providing tennis courts and other sporting facilities for the workers of ICI employees. In later years a bowling green was installed and opened to all members of the local community.The club became a popular venue for league bowling within Cheshire holding major competitions and was the ﬁrst club to have ﬂoodlight competitions.In the early Seventies it was acquired by Pochins as part of their acquisition of the land belonging to ICI works. In recent years it has been used by Middlewich Community Church and is also used for their Canal Side Conference Centre.The present position of the Bowling Club following the pandemic and lockdown has greatly reduced membership and league teams. We have teams in several Cheshire leagues but unfortunately the numbers have been greatly reduced and we wish to encourage new members to have a go and enjoy the sport.Experienced bowlers and newcomers of all ages and ability are welcome to join in what is an enjoyable outdoor sport. The season runs from April to September and assistance will be provided by existing members to allow non bowlers to gain an insight to the sport free of charge.The club is a non proﬁt making club run by a small group of volunteers. If you would like to ﬁnd out more about the club please contact Susan Garnett (07825 081065), Ray Coyne (07837 739052) or B r i a n M o s s (01606 259433)Middlewich Community Bowling Club

Gardens, parks, roadside verges…all bursting into welcome colour. Middlewich’s canalside properties too offer up pleasant views to passing narrowboats. Green spaces always have been enormously important. Once though, Middlewich was home to something very, very grand. If we track down ‘Middlewich mentions’ over time, might we ‘overhear’ what’s been said about us?Fortunately yes, because historic mapping together with all kinds of documents can yield treasure. Around 1610 a detailed series of county maps was produced by John Speed (himself Cheshire-born). Speed was a respected and very artistic mapmaker and sought to cover just about everywhere. Locally, a circular, fenced emparkment, which looks almost cartoon-like now, appears quite clearly (pictured). It’s true that from the medieval period Middlewich was notable for its ﬁne country park. All the necessaries were incorporated. It had a river ﬂowing through its grounds (the small but nevertheless useful Croco), a lodge, not just one but several woods, and of course a supply of deer. The private walled park occupied land in Kinderton/Sproston south-east of the moated manor-house. From the early 1200’s this had been the seat of the Barons of Kinderton - although the ‘license to empark’ was not obtained until about a century later. This legality reserved the estate for exclusive hunting use of the baronial family and their guests. To complement the impressive spread Kinderton Hall, already built with ﬁshponds and moats, had formal gardens added during the ﬁfteenth to seventeenth centuries. Of course, these included a then highly fashionable viewing mound. By the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the local townscape continued to feature a “magniﬁcent thicket of oak trees left and right along Holmes Chapel Road”. Entrance to the deer park, presumably by now open to the public, was by gates on the southern side. On a number of occasions however, some of the deer managed to escape! It was obviously memorable for those witnessing the spectacle. Contemporary reports mentioned the animals ﬂeeing down Kinderton Street to “the excitement of the little village”.Although still remaining – at least for the present - fairly rural, there is not much evidence now of its former function and status. Or does something, in fact, linger? Traces of its past are tantalisingly retained in place-names: Kinderton Lodge, Parkside Farm, and Spring Covert. The latter indicates coppiced woodland - ‘browse’ or feed for all those deer. Deﬁnitely a long, if hidden, heritage here of parks and gardens. And those ‘Middlewich mentions’ through the ages can prove really quite fascinating.Julie Elizabeth SmalleyMiddlewich’s heritage

Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival is set to make a welcome return this summer and organisers are planning to make it the ‘biggest and best’ yet.As with so many events up and down the country, the much-loved family festival was forced to cancel over the past two years but now it’s full steam ahead with plans for a major come-back this June.Already organisers, Middlewich Town Council, have announced a headline act, The Whole of the Moon band The Waterboys who are hugely popular on the folk/rock scene up and down the country.A working group, including councillors, residents, and staff, is planning a jam-packed programme of family attractions and musical entertainment from June 16-19 to draw crowds and boost the town economy. More information will be shared in coming weeks.Already there has been a joyous reaction to news of the festival’s return on social media.Facebook was set alight with the announcement with followers leaving comments such as ‘amazing!’ and ‘I’m going to cancel my holiday to be in town for the festival’ – all were positive and delighted to see Middlewich back on the map for celebrating its musical roots.The event will once again showcase Middlewich’s rich canal history with a colourful ﬂotilla of narrowboats boats displaying their quirky names and paintwork while selling their crafts as part of a ﬂoating market.They will be seen at three locations – on the Trent & Mersey Canal below Big Lock or above Kings Lock, and on the Shropshire Union Canal above Wardle.The Main Stage will return to its traditional location on Market Field and there will be a toe-tapping trail of musical entertainment to follow around fringe festival pubs.Cllr Jonathan Parry, who chairs the working group, said: “In this special 30th anniversary year, and after an enforced break due to the pandemic, we hope to make this festival one to remember. We have made some changes, spreading the attractions across town, to showcase Middlewich and all it has to offer.“Already there has been a fantastic response from boaters who would like to attend and local pubs keen to get involved. The programme is growing by the day. More will be announced soon.”Cllr Parry added: “There was a good crowd of visitors in 2019 but we feel we can do more to shout-out about Middlewich and celebrate its musical roots and warm-hearted welcome. “We were keen to encourage more local involvement and the response has been overwhelming. We have town residents on the working group and many locals offering to be festival volunteers.“We want to take the festival back to its folk roots but also move with the times and are determined to make this year the biggest and best yet.”From the seeds of an event, staged for the ﬁrst time by a local committee in 1992, Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival has blossomed into a Cheshire social scene favourite recognised by the Guardian Online as one of the top three folk festivals in England.The working group is working ﬂat out to offer something for everyone and attract visitors from across Cheshire and beyond.As headliners, The Waterboys are set to bring many fans. Led by brilliant Scottish guitarist/vocalist Mike Scott, the band features an established line-up of Memphis keyboard great ‘Brother’ Paul Brown, ace British drummer Ralph Salmins and funky Irish bassman Aongus Ralston. Their songs have been performed by artists as varied as Prince, The Killers and U2, all of whom have performed their classic The Whole of The Moon. The song also featured in last year’s smash Netﬂix ﬁlm Let It Snow and top HBO series The Affair.

Technology tips...‘THE times they are a-changin’ sang Bob Dylan. Already TV has gone digital, and radio is very slowly following. But until now, the oldest electronic communication technology of them all has resisted the winds of change – landline telephones. Truly a 19th century invention, analogue telephony is simple and robust, work even over ancient wiring, keeping going during power cuts – power comes from the exchange – and you can purchase a perfectly good one for only a tenner.Sure, the plain old telephone system (POTS, no seriously) has evolved and improved. But the main limitations remain: sound quality is poor and it only supports one call at a time.Nevertheless, it may surprise you to learn that POTS is going to be switched off in 2025, and traditional phone equipment will no longer be sold in about a year’s time. Yes, landlines will go dead. It’s had a good run since Alexander Bell’s ﬁrst phone conversation in 1876, but with more calls made by mobile than landline today, it’s time to move on. Voice calls will be digital, carried over broadband. If you don’t have broadband, your phone company will migrate you at the same cost as before, so you needn’t worry. Internet Service Providers are already getting ready by issuing hubs with a phone socket and an internal converter, so at switchover, all you need do is plug your old phone into the hub rather than the wall. Simple changes are needed if you have extensions. Some ISPs will issue hubs with built-in DECT for wireless handsets. So for most consumers it will be a minor event. Expect messaging from your phone company nearer the date.The problem for the industry is all the other things that hang off POTS: burglar and ﬁre alarms, panic button pendants etc. But don’t let anyone try to sell you a whole new system, as an adapter is all that will be needed. ISPs should provide battery-backed equipment to you so it works during power cuts.Missing out on a broadband saving?Millions of households are paying £144 a year more than they need to, or missing out on broad-band altogether. If you receive Universal Credit, Pension Credit, ESA or JSA (additional criteria apply), you could get broadband from only £10 a month. A list of companies offering these special tariffs is at www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2022/millions-of-low-income-families-missing-annual-broadband-saving. If you haven’t got Internet access, ring me and I will send you details. Be aware that they do not include landline (there are also social tariffs for that), which you may need if you have a ‘panic button’, and you should check whether you are still in contract.For the rest of us, there are useful money-saving tips here: www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2022/tips-for-cutting-phone-broadband-and-pay-tv-costs. And look at your bills. I recently saved a customer nearly half hers by pointing out she was paying for all her calls, while £5 extra would include them for free.Andrewgoggleboxtech.uk34
