Bagshawe Broome: an 1860s town hall whose solid neo-gothic furbelows proclaim the venerability of the borough fathers of the day. A century and a quarter later it is a grimy pile, though it is at least three decades since soot has been dispersed from any of the town's mill chimneys. Indeed, all but one of those chimneys has by now been caused to bite its own dust, the exception being Rowland's, up Mere Brow, which, although visibly idle and unsafe, has enjoyed several stays of execution, thanks to the efforts of the litigious members of the BIAS, the Bagshawe Industrial Archaeology Society, to have a preservation order slapped on to it. Bagshawe Broome: a Saturday in October. A three-ton lorry, loaded with ironmongers' sundries, is endeavouring to retract over the cobbles between market stalls, to the voluble and profane distress of the driver of a greengrocer's van who has been trying for the last ten minutes to reverse out. |
