Haligonians: 1 Cragg Vale Coiners Walk | Exploring Halifax

#craggvale #mytholmroyd #craggvalecoiners
New series - hopefully
In this video we head to the beautiful Cragg Vale valley to follow the Cragg Vale Coiners Walk, inspired by the real events of the late seventeenth century when counterfeiting was rife and the Cragg Vale Coiners were running a substantial operation 'clipping' the edges of silver coins to illegally forge new ones.
After the arrest of the ringleader, 'King' David Hartley by the exciseman William Deighton, murder was planned.....
The walk is inspired by the book 'The Gallows Pole' by Benjamin Myers. The story is also told in the book 'Clip a Bright Guinea' by John Marsh, though I believe this is now out of print.
Please like, comment, share and subscribe as I try to build the channel with more videos from around beautiful Calderdale.

Seriously, no comments here? On this magnificent scenery? Or this story? Those views go all the way to what used to be Lancashire. Daniel Defoe came over there from Rochdale, in a blizzard. He reckoned a rebel army could hang out in that vast wilderness for years, undetected. We are blessed with spectacular countryside in Calderdale. Also, hadn't realised quite how long the man from the Exchequer spent in the area, on the case. 👍
