2Beeston Castle
3Acrostic Poem
-
- Beeston Castle how old you are!
- Every wall crumbling,
- Every door closed,
- Secrets never sold,
- Tales never told.
- On the journey through time,
- Never to be heard,
- Closing and opening doors,
- Adventure round every corner.
- Servants tales,
- Tales of dancing, laughterdeath,
- Longing for freedom,
- Even now you can hear the sorrow of Beeston
Castle.

9Beeston Castle
- Beeston Castle was built by Ranulf, the 6th
Earl of Chester in 1225, following his return
from the crusades. It was seized by King Henry
III in 1237, and remained in royal ownership
until the 16th century. During the civil war
(1642-46), the Castle was held in turn by
Parliamentarians and Royalists, and played a
prominent role in the fighting in this part of
Cheshire.
10Little Moreton Hall
11Little Moreton Hall- Diary
12th September 1562 Dear diary, Today
its Little Moreton Halls 3rd birthday. The
master of the house wanted a party, so all of us
maids had to prepare tons of food and set out the
tables in the great hall. There was dancing and
music we listened but did not dance for we had
to eat our supper of pea soup on the mound .
After supper we headed for bed but the master
called us to tidy up the great hall . I had to
put Sandy, the guard dog, out side. Lady Sarah
came out telling me how good the food was, just
trying to make me jealous. Then she returned
inside and ordered Joe to wash the pots. We got
to bed at 230am. Then we also had to get up at
530am to make the masters breakfast. But now
its our free time, however the master is having
another party tonight so I dont expect to get an
early nights sleep. Mistress
Kate

17The Apprentice House
18Poem by Shelby Bennion
- The face of the apprentice house is white like a
ghosts face. - Help help! screamed the frightened girl
- Ester was her name.
-
- All of the screaming was about a dead body next
door to Ester. - Pipe down! said Lucy.
- Whilst waiting for a live body to visit her,
- Right next door a ghost was waiting for her.
- Ester had never been so scared,
- Never in her life.
- The lavender was drying out
- In the same room as the dead body
- Calling out for help.
- Ester had to wait and wait and wait.
- However the wait was worth it as she got out
- Of the punishment room.
- Up, rose the spirit of the body.
19Styal mill- Diary
- 19th August 1836
- Dear diary,
- Today was awful I may have got out of the
punishment room but it was still awful. This
Friday Mr Timpileys wife died, but he could not
get rid of the body until Monday so he put the
body into the store room next to the punishment
room. Now, knowing theres a dead body next door
I SCREAMED like mad banged on the door the
boarded up window when a lady came to change my
chamber pot I ran right past her and hid under a
bed downstairs. Mr Timperly let me stay in a
corner in the girls dormitory but I have to stay
away from the windows so that Mr Greg wont see
me. - Ester Price
- The story is told that Mrs Timprley stalks
the store room in the night looking for Ester so
she can tell her off for making so much noise she
cant rest in peace at the Apprentice house. -
20Styal Mill
- In 1784, Samuel Greg built Style Mill and
inherited over 30,000. He employed children from
the age of 9 years old. Of the very many that
came there every year most were from workhouses.
He forced them to wake up at five in the morning
and work on until breakfast. - They worked thirteen hours a day and six
days a week. After working in the mill their
chores were for the boys to do the garden and
girls to do the house chores. - Regularly they went to church which was
about two miles away. They wore clogs on their
feet which must have hurt on that long walk. - Also, on Sundays they had to go to school.
In classes there was a top table and it was only
saved for boys. The girls must not have been
thought of as clever enough. - In the dormitories they had to empty the
chamber pots every day and the sheets were
changed every month. - They kept herbs and spices. On the wall
there was a plant which was used as an air
freshener. In those days air fresheners werent
invented so they had to hang them up themselves
every week.
21Letter
- Dear father,
- I am so sorry I could not come and
visit you but Lucy and I decided to return home
when we grew very hungry. Master Greg put us in
the punishment room. Lucy got put in for 3 days
me 7. Im on my 3rd day. - Lucy got taken out earlier today and at the
same time Mrs Timpley died but, because its
Friday they have to keep the body next door until
Monday, Im terrified, Its late and I can hear
her spirit walking back and fourth. I long for
freedom. I pray for the day I can get out of this
horrid room and see you. I have been banging all
night but no one will hear my cries. Mr Timpley
said he may let me out but I shall have to stay
away from the windows. I still have to make wool
spindles with a spinning genny. -
With love -

23Manchester bomb no justice
- The IRA attack on Manchester in June 1996 was the
biggest mainland bomb in Britain and caused
massive devastation to the city centre. Now an
IRA expert claims that the bombers will never
stand trial
15 June 1996 a sunny morning in Manchester.
Saturday shoppers were filling Market Street and
the Arndale Centre buying Father's Day
presents. The country was hosting Euro '96 and
the nation was gripped with football fever. Then,
at 0943, came the first warning. It was coded
message 'You've got one hour to clear the city
centre.' The IRA had packed 3,000 lbs of
explosives into a lorry parked on Corporation
Street. When the bomb went off, it exploded at
2,000 feet per second. The sheer power of the
blast shattered the city centre around Marks and
Spencer and the Arndale shopping centre.
Thanks to a massive operation to evacuate the
city centre, no-one was killed although, 200
people were injured, some seriously, mostly by
flying glass and debris. Greater Manchester
Police and the Anti Terrorist Squad launched a
massive investigation called Operation Cannon
to find the bombers. Information flooded in to
the incident room which eventually traced the
movements of the lorry. At one stage a report was
even sent to the Crown Prosecution Service
seeking advice on if they could arrest a
suspect. Yet, despite a huge search and a million
pound reward, nobody has ever been arrested for
the bombing
24-The Urbis-
- Sloping to one side,
- The roof could be a slide.
- Made out of glass
- It has class.
- A graffiti wall
- All it needs now is a shopping mall,
- Quizzes about how we live today.
- No need to pay,

27The Wellington!!
-
- My favourite restaurant is called the
Wellington but I call it the Welly. With a pub
down stairs and a restaurant up stairs, I do
think its the best. - All the food at the Welly is gorgeous but I
think that the Hot pot and the Rump steak
sandwich are best. - ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
- So the ideal day out is to go to the Welly,
shop all you like then nip to URBIS just to
have some fun.
