Frozen in Tameside
Most people will remember the big freeze from 2010
when snowfalls caused chaos for commuters and many
schools were closed. Gritters worked around the clock
to keep traffic moving and people helped one another
to clear areas of snow to try to make the pathways safe.
However do you remember January 1963 when the
snowfalls made it necessary for many householders to ‘dig
themselves out’? Many people still had outside toilets at
that time so a call of nature was a major task, especially
if the pipes were frozen! From Dec 21st- Jan 8th 1,500
burst water pipes were reported; 250 tons of salt was
used to help clear roads and town centres. An avalanche at
Wilderness Crag, Greenfield, killed 2 local men, with 100
rescue workers braving arctic conditions to dig them out.
1963 is remembered for its snow but 1947 is remembered
for its freezing temperatures and gales. Hurricane winds
of 70 mph left a trail of havoc and devastation in many
areas of Tameside. With chimney pots and slates falling
from rooves, a row of six houses on Foundry Street had
to be demolished as the damage was so bad. A chimney fell
through the roof of a house in Audenshaw and landed on a
ladies bed, thankfully the lady was out at the time and she
was able to decamp to her daughter’s house.
These wintery scene photographs can be found on our
website www.tameside.gov.uk/history on the images link.
