EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photo print, parents, teachers, and pupils from Newsome Junior School gather together with a shared purpose - to embark on the Bilberry Walk. This four-mile ramble around Holmfirth holds deep historical significance as it retraces the tragic flood that devastated the village in 1852, claiming 80 lives. Led by voluntary countryside officer Nigel Burton, 61 members of Newsomes School Association set out on this meaningful journey. As they traverse through picturesque landscapes and scenic vistas, their footsteps echo those who once walked these paths during times of immense hardship. The walk commences at Bilberry Dam before winding its way to Digley and eventually reaching the heart of the village center. Along the route lie Hinchliffe Mill and Perseverance Mill - sites forever etched in history due to countless lives lost when the dam burst its embankment. Amidst nature's embrace, this diverse group comprising children and adults alike find solace in each other's company while paying homage to those who perished over a century ago. As they pause for a picnic lunch amidst breathtaking surroundings, stories are shared, bonds are strengthened, and lessons from history are imprinted upon young minds. This snapshot captured on March 15th, 1992 encapsulates not only an act of remembrance but also showcases resilience as generations come together to honor their past while embracing hope for a brighter future.
