LAST REMNANTS OF THE ROYAL OAK circa 2012

Photo supplied by Malcolm Hough

Following on from Malcolm Hough's early 20th century photograph of Lewin Street showing the long-lost Royal Oak public house, here's a modern snapshot, taken from Google Streetview, which shows the last remnants of the pub, demolished in the 1950s (?), which are to be found at the rear of the site of Niddrie's bus garage, next to the famous toyshop which itself bit the dust in 2012. The last remains of the pub, according to Malcolm, who had the information from local resident Trevor Williams, are the walls in the middle of this shot, underneath the modern wooden fence. To the right is the left-hand wall of the toyshop, complete with security camera and signs warning that the premises were under 24 hour surveillance - a testament to the vandalism and crime which plagued the business in its final days.

And now we seem to have another mystery on our hands. We recommend that this Diary entry is read in conjunction with the earlier one showing the Royal Oak,

Here are a couple of photographs of Niddrie's shop taken during its closing down sale in 2011:

Photos: Peter Cox

And here is the title from an earlier Diary entry about Niddrie's, called The Beginning Of the End

Photo: Salt Town Productions

It is evident from these photos that Niddrie's actually consisted of two parts - an old part and a new part, the left hand side being older than the right hand , which, presumably, was the portion of the premises built in the 1950s.  Beyond the old part of the building (out of shot to the left in the third photo) was the bus garage, the site of which is shown in our top photo.

If the walls behind that garage were those of the Royal Oak, how do we fit that building into the space where Niddrie's was, and what was the 'old' part before it became part of Niddries? Was it part of the Royal Oak? Or was it built separately? Or was that the part built in the 1950s, to be followed later by an even 'newer' part?

And where was the three storey house with the steep steps? Did that become part of Niddries in the 1950s? Or was it  originally part of the Royal Oak? Malcolm Hough and Trevor Williams are of the opinion that the Royal Oak was demolished 'in the 1950s when Niddrie's was built'. Did part of it survive?

How do we account for the whole space between the still extant houses, and the White Horse?

To make the problem clearer here, again from Google Earth, is the entire site as it was in 2011 during Niddrie's closing down sale. As can be seen from Malcolm's early 20th Century picture, the Royal Oak was very close to the White Horse, which can be seen on the right, with, at most, a small alleyway between the two. If the wall underneath the modern wooden fence in this picture formed part of the Royal Oak it must have been a truly enormous building. 

Surely the truth must be that the Royal Oak disappeared long before the 1950s. Geraldine Williams and her husband certainly seem to think so, as evidenced by this comment;

My husband and I have been comparing notes. We both remember the house with the steep steps (and John Maddock, Bill) which we think was in the space to the left of The White Horse and was sideways on to the road. Neither of us remember any pub-like building and think it must have been demolished long before the 1950s.

- Geraldine Williams

Whatever the truth of the matter, the site is in a sorry mess these days, after Niddries was rather unexpectedly demolished when it was, apparently, on the verge of becoming a plumbers shop.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Thank you for your patience.  We appreciate that the whole Middlewich Diary Royal Oak saga is highly confusing, in the good old traditional Middlewich Diary style. Here's the final chapter in the saga in which, we hope, all is revealed:

THE END OF AN ERA - R.I.P. THE WHITE HORSE, 10th MARCH 2018

The White Horse, Lewin Street, as it was in October 2012

by Dave Roberts

In the early hours of Sunday 11th March 2018 another piece of old Middlewich came to an end as the White Horse in Lewin Street finally reached the end of the line.

The closure of the pub was widely expected and for several years had been the subject of much speculation.

The problem with the White Horse has never been with its beer, even when the main offering was the notorious Double Diamond which, you'll recall, 'worked wonders', nor with its food, even when that food consisted mostly of Walker's Crisps and KP Peanuts. The problem was never with the pub's clientele - the usual Middlewich mix of hard drinkers, nutcases, dreamers, philosophers and ordinary, run-of-the-mill, 'couple of pints on the way home' amateurs.

And there has certainly never been any problem with the people running the pub. 

Speaking  personally, I can go back to 1970, the first time I ever set foot in the White Horse, when Ken and Marjory Williams were the landlord and landlady.

I used to go in there with my first girlfriend's father Ron Grainger who worked (as I did) for the Middlewich Urban District Council and used to call into the pub to buy the, then new, Walker's Crisps. I'd go with him on occasion and we'd take in a few pints of Double Diamond while we were buying the crisps. It would have been rude not to.

Ken and Marjory were the epitome of the old-fashioned 'mine host' and his lady wife. Ken was a military man who had served in the Tank Regiment and had pictures of some of those tanks and the people he had served with all around the pub.

Marjory was just lovely. A lady with the quirkiest sense of humour I have ever encountered. She had, as they say, all her many and varied Middlewich customers 'weighed up', and wouldn't take any nonsense from any of them. I'm keeping my favourite Marjory story under wraps for the time being (as it's ever so slightly rude).

In later years, after Ken had passed on, a complete lunatic called Jerry Woods was manager at the White Horse. This was the time when, after working Saturday mornings at ERF, I'd call in for a few pints with work colleague Steve Farrington.

Saturday afternoon fun at the White Horse in the 1990s. The late Steve Farrington (and unidentified lady friend) together with his brother Peter. Sadly, Peter also died in 2018.

And this was also the time when the White Horse was just about a minute's walk (or, rather, stagger) away from the Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival site at Market Field (via the adjacent White Horse Alley) and said Jerry Woods would try to get the festival's compere so drunk as to render him incapable of introducing the acts. It never worked, though we came perilously close some years. I know, because I was that compere.

No. The  White Horse never really had any problems until relatively recently. And the problem which has ultimately seen the end of the White Horse has arisen from the pub's position close - too close - to the Lewin Street carriageway. The increase in traffic - in particular the rise in the number of heavy trucks using Lewin Street, in the absence of a by-pass between Sandbach and Middlewich, has made the pub's position more and more precarious as time has gone on.

Our main picture, taken by Bill Armsden for our sister site the Middlewich Directory in 2012, graphically shows the problem. The pub is far too close to the road. Or, to be more precise, the road is far too close to the pub. 

The only real solution would be to move the pub a few yards further back, but we all know that would never happen, even if it was physically possible.

And so, sadly, the White Horse has to close.

The plan, according to reports, is to turn the ground floor of the pub into offices for 'a transport company' with 'accommodation for truck-drivers' above.

Does that ring true? Won't the building still be too close to the road, whatever it's used for? Where will the trucks park? Where will the people working in the office park their cars? Has planning permission been granted? If not, will it be granted given all these questions and the problems  inherited from the building's days as a pub?

Can anyone doubt that the building will eventually be pulled down to ease the passage of traffic along Lewin Street?

And isn't it true that such a demolition would also give some developer access to the prime building land which lies behind the pub?

Not for us to say, of course.

In the meantime we can only mourn the loss of this most popular of Middlewich pubs.

UPDATE (16th May 2020): As of May 2020 our cynicism and scepticism over the closure of the pub and the future of the building seems to have proved unfounded. The building appears to be thriving in its new role as a 'business centre' with a suprising number of  firms making full use of the facilities it offers, and with no apparent problems over car parking. Which shows how much we know....

Many people have tried in recent years to make a go of the White Horse, and it's been something of a local success story, particularly as a disco and karaoke venue, which is how it will be spending its last night.

Other types of music have also been welcomed in recent years, particularly at Festival time:

We'll leave you with these photos from the Mike Jennings Classic Collection, taken just before the pub closed its doors for good.

The dirt and grime which relentless heavy traffic plastered all over the building can be seen here. It didn't seem to matter how many times the White Horse was re-painted, the same thing happened. 

To the right of the building is the tower at Middlewich Fire Station in nearby Civic Way. This steel structure was once used to dry out rubber fire hoses (they were hung from the tower to let the water drain away) and is now used for training exercises.

The White Horse Bar in its final form. Still basically the same bar we all remember.

One unique feature of the White Horse - and  a feature highly prized by the male sector of the White Horse's clientele - was the marvellous Victorian  urinals in the gent's lavatories. Made by Duckett's of Burnley. We shall never see their like in Middlewich again.

Delighting in Music no more...here's the dismal scene at the White Horse on the 31st March 2018, just three weeks after closure. Earlier in the month this had been a place of music, laughter and excitement. Very soon it will become nothing but  boring, nondescript office space and 239 years of pub history will have been dumped in a skip. The building spent 239 years as The White Horse, starting in 1779. That wasn't the beginning of the pub's history, though. It was in existence in 1767 as The Horse & Jockey (Ref. 'Middlewich Hospitality' by Ken Kingston, Middlewich U3A Local History Group 2014).

From the White Horse Facebook page:

Sad times as from Wednesday 21st March 2018 the keys are being handed over to the new owner.
We have had many happy years in the White Horse and each and everyone of you have got good memories of your days n nights out to cherish
All landladies n landlords past n present would like to thank each and everyone of you who over the years have supported us to make this public house the success it was.
Without you we couldn’t of kept it going this long.
The only one good thing is that it is not being knocked down and it’s getting a new face lift for offices n flats
Thank you all once again and we hope to see everyone very soon in the near future.

MURGY'S OFFICE BLOCK EARLY 2011

Photo: Paul Greenwood    All rights reserved

by Dave Roberts

In our journey around Middlewich and district over the last seven months  it's been difficult to avoid over use of the phrase 'end of an era'.
Well, here's the first of a series of photographs by local photographer Paul Greenwood which was taken at the start of 2011, just in time to catch the end of what must be considered another of those 'eras', the era of chemical production on most of  the Brenntag site.
Some people will remember it as the  Hays Chemicals or Albion Chemicals site, and before that as BP Chemicals, but it was, and is, known universally by Middlewich people, whatever its official name, as 'Murgy's'.
The Murgatroyd's site was officially in Elworth but a lot of people from Middlewich worked there, and for many years  the site depended for its brine supplies on the  pump in Brooks Lane, Middlewich, which once supplied brine to the company's nearby  open pan works, a flow being sent down the 'brine line' which ran, and still runs, alongside the Sandbach-Middlewich-Northwich railway.
The Brooks Lane brine pump itself is, as we have already seen, the subject of a preservation project spearheaded locally by Middlewich Town Council's Heritage Officer, Kerry Fletcher.

MURGATROYD'S BRINE PUMP NO 1

The story of the Murgatroyd's site is too complicated to relate here, but you can read all about it in this Catalyst PDF document which reproduces a publication written by George Twigg, formerly of the Salt Museum:

CATALYST - THE STORY OF MURGATROYDS

Talking of brine pumps, if you look carefully at the extreme right of Paul Greenwood's photo of the site's main office block, you can see another one which was on display at the entrance to the works up until its closure.
This pump has been placed in safe storage and there are plans to put it on display in Middlewich.
We believe that the electrical windings inside the pump were removed a while ago to deter copper wire thieves who also, until security was increased, caused havoc to the signalling on the nearby railway.
Brenntag still have a presence at the Middlewich end of the old Murgy's site where a combined heat and power station has been built, but most of the site is derelict and awaiting the inevitable housing estates to come.
At the Sandbach end of the site is Yew Tree Farm which still retains some beautiful old buildings and the remains of the old Murgatroyd's Social Club.
Incidentally, the rail link which once connected Murgatroyd's Works to the Middlewich branch line is still in place, although the sidings which lay alongside the works have been lifted. This link is fully signalled and just waiting for some enterprising firm to make use of it.
I have to declare an interest in Murgy's as my Uncle Dennis and Auntie Edie both worked there.
Update: Inexplicably, when I originally wrote this I neglected to give Dennis and Edie's surname which, I'm sure, will strike a chord with many. It's Broster.
Auntie Edie worked in the canteen. I'm not sure what, precisely, Uncle Dennis did.
But I do know that on one historic day in the 1960s he took his camera, loaded with colour slide film, to work and photographed the last steam hauled train to leave the site.
Now, I'd dearly love to lay my hands on those slides....
More from Paul's collection to come on 'A Middlewich Diary' in 2012.

Facebook Feedback:

Daniel Preston I remember Murgy's, of course. Over the turnover bridge, along by Murgy's and into the esses. One winter's day, 1967 (as far as I can recall) going to work, Foden's, on my motorbike I hit an icy patch in the esses. The back wheel started to drift, first one way, then the other; the bike weaving all over the place while I hung onto it. I thought I would surely come a cropper. Meanwhile, while I'm doing all I can to stay on two wheels, a motorist behind me is blaring away on his horn, as if to say, "Stop clownin' around, the public road is not the place to be stunting." Just as if I had any choice in the matter.

Erika Nicholson I work for a water company and we use Brenntag as a supplier.

Dave Roberts Hi Erika. Do you know what's on the Brenntag site at Elworth now? We know that part of it is a power station, but there seems to be more apparatus there than would be necessary just for a CPH station. 

Erika Nicholson The Elworth site is where we order from, so I assume they are in production of chemicals, although they mainly come from a site at Lutterworth. Elworth, I think is mainly offices, although they may produce some onsite.

Dave Roberts Thanks, Erika.

MORETON'S CORNER - LATE 1960s

by Dave Roberts

Since the Middlewich Diary began we've tried hard to resist the rose-tinted view of some who like to think that Middlewich was once a picturesque and attractive little town which has been 'ruined by progress'. We've been at pains to point out that the town is more attractive now than it was forty years ago and try not to wallow in nostalgia too much.
Having said all that, it's hard not to get nostalgic about 'old Middlewich' when you see a photograph like this one, although the fact that it's in black and white probably makes it look rather older than it actually is.
It was taken in the late 1960s and shows that most-lamented of all the town's old buildings, Moreton's farmhouse on the corner of King Street and Kinderton Street in its final days.
If you stand in the same spot today you can see right down into the town centre with the Parish Church dominating the view and providing a very pleasant first impression of the town for motorists coming down from Junction 18 of the M6.
Kinderton Street now runs down from the Holmes Chapel Road, or Station, Bridge in a gentle curve, contrasting with the old alignment which had a much sharper bend at the bottom end - in this photo it almost looks like an abrupt turn to the right.
Nearly everything in this picture has  disappeared, to be replaced by the new, wider Kinderton Street which connects with St Michael's Way at the Town Bridge.
Moreton's farmhouse stood more or less where the traffic island at the end of King Street now is and I was privileged, as a friend of William and Mary Moreton, to visit it many times from 1959 onwards, as we lived a short distance away down King Street.
It was a typical Cheshire farmhouse, full of ancient oak furniture and, in particular, many grandfather clocks (there was said to be one in every room).
Pool Head farmhouse, to give it its official name, was built to the same pattern as many such farmhouses, in an 'L' shape, with two distinct parts at right angles to each other. The part nearest the camera and running alongside the end of King Street would originally have housed the farm's dairy.
The patch of lighter brickwork on the lower left of the building is evidence of a catastrophe from a few years earlier when a heavy lorry crashed into the house, fortunately, as far as I know, without injury to either the driver or the residents of the house.
Just above this you can just make out a small yellow AA sign which points the way to Northwich; the preferred route these days is via Croxton Lane - when its not flooded...
This modest little sign was later replaced (or possibly just obscured) by a large and ugly green sign more suitable for the motorway age. This can be seen here.

Next to the farmhouse on the way down the bank is a chip shop which is the subject of one of those old Middlewich legends concerning the lady proprietress who, it is claimed, once lost her wig in the fat fryer.
There's no way of knowing whether this actually happened or not, but I do know that at one time they served the finest fish in the town - better even, if it can be believed, than Etta Mault's.
In 1969 a friend and I would buy fish and chips from this shop and then wander up King Street to no 33 to watch the earliest showings of  Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Further down Kinderton Street are Whittaker's and Costello's shops

and several small houses, all now a distant memory.

Out of shot to the right was the former entrance to Middlewich Station yard, at that time home to Martin's Coaches,

 and the site for many years of a huge advertising hoarding which, if someone tried to erect it now, would cause hands to be thrown up in horror.
This hoarding can be seen on the 1970 photo of the farmhouse (link below) which we featured early in the life of the Middlewich Diary. 

There was another of these hoardings on King Street, next to the farmhouse, for the benefit of traffic heading over the Station Bridge towards Middlewich town centre..
The tops of the walls alongside the 'Kinderton Street' part of the farmhouse were made of blue engineering brick, and also extended along King Street past the Mill pond which gave the farm its name. I always wondered if the LNW Railway, which built the station, also built these walls. They are exactly the same as those used on the parapets of the Station Bridge. The railway did have an interest in the Mill pond, as it supplied water for its water tower at the station.
To the left of the picture is a confused jumble of old buildings in Seabank* and Lewin Street, most of which have now disappeared.
Also on the left, the small patch of white between the brick wall and the lamp-post is part of what is now the Kinderton Hotel.
Those lamp-posts, by the way, served Middlewich well for many years, even though almost every lamp in the town gave off a yellow sodium glow which made everything look quite ghastly, particularly in winter.
They were all painted in the official MUDC colour of dark green, and panic ensued when someone started a rumour that they were all going to be painted orange to fit in with the council's new 'trendy' image for the 1970s.
Now who on earth would  start a rumour like that?

*We originally had this, for some inexplicable reason - advancing age? - as 'Southway' until it was spotted by Geraldine 'Eagle Eye' Williams. Hence the comments below!

KING STREET VIADUCT IN WINTER

by Dave Roberts

Here's an interesting and unusual photo to take us into the New Year. It shows the point just North of Middlewich where the Sandbach-Middlewich-Northwich branch line crosses the River Dane, a few yards west of King Street. A public footpath runs from King Street along the left hand side of the river and skirts around the bottom of Harbutt's Field to follow the course of the River Croco to the Big Lock, where it crosses the Croco and the T&M canal via two footbridges.

A few yards beyond this railway bridge  the River Croco, after being channelled alongside the Trent & Mersey Canal to serve as an overflow all the way from Brooks Lane locks, comes in from the left to join the Dane, which then flows on, meandering through pleasant meadowland, until it is joined by the River Wheelock at a point just West of the Croxton Lane tip. The Dane then continues on its journey across the Cheshire countryside until it finally flows into the River Weaver in the centre of Northwich. These rivers and the places they meet can all be traced on Google Earth, but if you're not too familiar with the area, their courses are a little difficult to discern because of the trees which crowd their banks and make them, in places, practically invisible.

If you're wondering why we've decided to dignify what looks like a relatively modest railway arch with the title 'viaduct', it's because the bridge actually has three arches - the main one which accommodates the River Dane and two smaller ones on either side. Both these smaller arches are hidden by trees in  Caroline's picture.  The archway on the left is used by the footpath which runs from King Street to the Big Lock and the one on the right gives access to the ex-ICI reservoir on the banks of the Dane via a short roadway.

To make things a little clearer, here's a view borrowed from Google Earth and taken in much sunnier times. X marks the approximate spot where Caroline was standing to take her picture, and the big yellow arrow shows the direction in which she was facing.
You will note that at the bottom of the picture we have appended a hand symbol pointing towards Centurion Way which, according to all the maps we have, only extends as far as the roundabout - the rest of the road to King Street being un-named. Can anyone tell us if Centurion Way actually extends as far as the King Street junction?
In the 1960s this area was a playground for local children. Beyond the bridge, and opposite ICI's reservoir, were rope swings and many hiding places among the lush vegetation which grew all around the area in the Summer. In the other direction, towards Byley, was the chosen swimming place for local families, despite attempts by local farmers to discourage the practice. Many a pleasant Sunday Summer afternoon was spent 'down the river'. Many thanks to Caroline for permission to use her excellent photo.

THE MIDDLEWICH CHARITY SHIELD 2019

The Middlewich Charity Shield

Always the very first Middlewich Event of every year, the Annual Middlewich New Year's Day Treasure Hunt is competed for come rain or shine by hung-over Middlewichians, and the prize, since 1992 at least,  has been  the much-coveted Middlewich Charity Shield.

Traditionally the team which wins the shield each year sets the questions for the following year and in 2019 this honour has fallen to 2018 winners WHOT+1

2018 Winners WHOT+1

In 2017 Melody Smith  volunteered - for one year only - to set the questions for the  Treasure Hunt. 

During the time she spent organising the 2017 event, Melody managed to put together a brief history of the event, which can be found by scrolling down the page.

We're still interested to find out more about the history of the Middlewich Treasure Hunt. 

The earliest date on the shield, which is  dedicated to the memory of Christina Wakefield, is 1992 when, as can be seen from the list of winners below, 'R&P Jackson' were the victors.

But did this epic New Year trawl around the town actually start before 1992? 

The Middlewich Diary would love to hear more of the history of this cherished Middlewich Institution.

If you can help, please email us at:

HISTORY OF THE EVENT

by Melody Smith

The New Year's Day Treasure Hunt, with its prize, the Middlewich Charity Shield, was started in 1992 by Terry and Christina Wakefield, who used to run a disco and catering company  and were actively raising funds for local causes and charities in Middlewich.

Tragically, in 1993, a year which proved to be very difficult for Terry and his family, Christine had a fatal fall in her home.

As a mark of respect, and a reflection of her work in the community, Terry dedicated the recently established shield to Christina's memory.

He continued to run the treasure hunt until 1998 when he left Middlewich and moved to the Wirral to enjoy a new life with his current wife.

I recently spoke to Terry by telephone, and he was very pleased to hear that the tradition has stayed strong in Middlewich and that the annual event has continued to be an institution within the community.

He still has links here and visits occasionally.

His daughter has requested that, when the shield is full and needs replacing, she would like to keep it.
