There was one team of four (Catherine, Duncan, Kasher and RJ) out from Todmorden today. A number of jobs needed sorting out in Shore, above Cornholme.
1) Cutting back on Tod 070 by the Baptist Chapel (https://www.tod.me.uk/ and https://sites.rootsweb.com/~todmordenandwalsden/shorechapel_000.htm) and clearing the path to the impressive set of stone steps which go from the clough to the chapel.
2) Cutting back on Tod 062 from Bluebell Lane to the outdoor baptismal area below Shore Law, and revealing the baptismal area once again.
3) A number of minor tasks around Shore Green including a second coat of stain on Gerald's bench on Shore New Road.
Today's work party was funded by a kind donation from the Cornholme Wreath Making workshop held in December 2025. Many thanks for all you do to support CROWS in the Cornholme area.
