THE YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA – 1819-1840 – A SLIDESHOW
Born 200 years ago this year, Victoria’s youth was remarkably solitary, and not very happy. In this presentation David focuses on these early years, beginning with the curious marriage of her parents. He explains her mother’s feud with her governesses, Victoria’s succession to the throne, and her marriage to Albert…

Event Details
The Museum houses a collection of industrial machinery and artefacts over four floors. Some of the machines are the only surviving examples in the country and have been placed in settings to give a close representation to the time when they were fully operational in the not too distant past.
Down in the basement, the oil engine ‘Sadie’ provides motive power for part of an extensive collection of locally-manufactured machine tools, including lathes, drills and planers. You can take in the experience of nineteenth century Mytholm Coal Mine, learn about stone extraction and the exploitation of clay in the fireclay industries.
The Power Gallery on the ground floor illustrates the story of power generation, from the water wheel to the internal combustion engine, by way of steam and electricity. The availability of power, initially from the numerous well-fed streams throughout Calderdale, was key to the growth of local industry.
The first floor displays products that were made in Calderdale. World-famous names such as Mackintosh’s Toffees and Crossley’s carpets were everyday brands originating in Halifax.
Following the success of last year’s market and further fundraising by the team, the top floor is now in the process of being renovated and is already looking very different to last year’s event here. The objective is to develop and present the story of how worsted cloth is manufactured from sheep’s wool.
The Museum is operated by the Calderdale Industrial Museum Association (CIMA). a registered charity and dedicated group of enthusiastic volunteers.
A great opportunity to witness the rise of the Industrial Revolution in the Calder Valley!
The weekend will be as follows:
Doors open at 11am both days all stalls open and trading up to 5pm.
Indoor entertainment tbc on the Sunday.
There will be a flying display in the museum from one of Amy Jo Lawrance’s owls from her Flying Squadron on both days – times to follow.
https://www.facebook.com/TheFlyingSquadron
Recruiting for the Coffee Jousting (that’s right, we do things different at LSM!) commences an hour before the tournament to take place on the Saturday only. (time tbc)
Captain Cumberpatch’s Curious Creations will be donating medals for the prizewinners (silver, gold and two bronze) and one also for the Coffee Jousting Beanmaster (the host).
There will be a tombola run to raise money for a named charity which all the traders will be donating to.
A vintage tearoom will be there for the weekend selling lovely homemade cake and cuppas.
We have decided to not have our own hot food vendors outside this time as there’s very little outdoor space plus the museum backs onto the Piece Hall where there are other cafes for normal food plus there is a Burger King just the other side of the museum.
Customers will be paying normal admission to the Industrial Museum itself to be able to access the traders as you will be mixed in with the whole building, the displays and the layout. Traders will be on all floors which fully accessible by lift.
Admission prices are currently: £5 per adult. Concessions £4. Accompanied children enter free. Prices correct at time of going to press so do please check their website for updates.

There is no parking on site, however there are several pay and display car parks close by.
The railway station is just over the road and the bus station just 5 minutes walk away.

In 1936 he became King George VI, and she the Queen Consort. During World War II she was dubbed by Hitler ‘The most dangerous women in Europe.’ Latterly, a national mother-figure.

Director: Herbert Wilcox
Country: UK
Year: 1928
Cast: Sybil Thorndike, Ada Bodart, Gordon Craig
Featuring live Piano accompaniment from Darius Battiwalla.
Dame Sybil Thorndyke stars as nurse Edith Cavell in this controversial silent film telling of her true story. Working as a nurse in German-occupied Belgium during WWI, Cavell helps a deserter to escape. She realizes that many soldiers need her help to flee and proceeds to assist them, despite grave risk to herself. Thorndyke delivers a terrific performance as the Norwich-born nurse who became one of the Great War’s most controversial martyrs, alongside a cast including Madame Bodart, one of the women who actually assisted Cavell in Belgium in 1915.
Refused a certificate when originally submitted to the British censor, Dawn was eventually released in 1929. It was remade by the director 10 years later as the Oscar-nominated Nurse Edith Cavell, starring Anna Neagle.
We are bringing a rare screening of this silent classic to the big screen at Square Chapel.
