Retrieve It from a Cache 4/5/2009 suedenim retrieved it from How The Mighty Fall North West England, United Kingdom   Visit Log

Picked this up today and I was obviously destined to have it. I am one of the very few Stoke City fans living in Manchester, and to find it on the weekend of our only away victory so far in the Premier League is too much of a coincidence.

What does wikipedia say about the new cache location?

"South Crosland is a village in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, England.

It was originally a chapelry in the civil parish of Almondbury, and became a separate civil parish in 1866. It became an urban district in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894. The parish and urban district was abolished under a County Review Order in 1938, being split between the county borough of Huddersfield, the Holmfirth Urban District, and the Meltham urban district."

The simple truth is that this is a pretty little semi-rural South Pennine village, surrounded by farmland and perched above rugged cloughs.

Picked this one up at the new 'Bellastown View' cache in Marsden, Huddersfield.

"Marsden is a very special place. A no-nonsense Pennine Mill Town steeped in history, and surrounded by wild and beautiful National Trust moorland. It is a thriving cultural centre too, with its own theatre company based in the magnificently restored Mechanics Institute."
