Kindly sent to me (fully transcribed )by Graham Burnley Express Saturday 2nd January 1937 MILL DIRECTOR’S DEATH HARLE SYKES MAN WHO HELD WORLD RECORD One of the most popular manufacturers in Briercliffe died at his home, 20 Granville Street, Harle Syke, yesterday. He was Mr. Whittam Halstead, and was 77. A member of the firm of Thornton and Co., he was for many years salesman for that firm, but retired from active work, owing to failing health, about five years ago. He was interested in several manufacturing concerns, and was on the directorate of the Harle Syke Mill Co. ; Walshaw Mill Co., Harle Syke; Gorple Manufacturing Co. Worsthorne; Fountain Manufacturing Co., Bury and two firms at West Houghton – the Hall Lee Manufacturing Co. and Taylor and Hartley Ltd. In his younger days he was a keen sportsman, and played with the old Haggate football team. His death recalls an amazing feat for which he held the world’s record, at 20 years of age, and which has never been equalled. With ten hops and a jump he covered a distance of 146 feet 8½ inches. He was a member of the Haggate Reading Rooms, and for many years was a member of Briercliffe Central Club. He was an old scholar of Haggate Baptist Sunday School. A wife, two sons and two daughters are left, one son being salesman for Thornton and Co. The interment will take place next Tuesday (5th January 1937) in Haggate Baptist Churchyard |

Burnley Gazette Saturday 20 February 1869 Death of W. Halstead, Esq. We regret to have to record the sudden and unexpected demise of our esteemed fellow-townsman William Halstead, Esq., who died at his residence, North Parade, on Sunday last, the 14th inst. Mr. Halstead was in every respect a self made man, one who had risen from the lowest ranks of labour to wealth and social position, by dint of determined effort and steady perseverance. He was born in 1809, at Haggate, and was brought up to the occupation of handloom weaving. His parents were handloom weavers, indeed nearly everybody at that time, in these outlying districts, were handloom weavers. Mr. Halstead, however, was one of an exceptional kind, steady, hard-headed, with one great object ever before him - "to get on in the world," and, to this end, it may be truly said, that "whatever his hand found to do, he did it with all his might." He began a grocery establishment at Haggate, which became in time the most extensive in the township of Briercliffe. In addition to this he had a room at Cop Row, filled with handlooms called, in the local dialect, a dandy shop. In 1847 he removed to Burnley, and occupied the bottom room in Messrs. Thompson and Moore's mill, Trafalgar street, where he carried on a very extensive business in delaines, being one of the first manufacturers of these pieces, from which in a few years he realised very large profits. In 1854 he built the Fulledge Mill, and about this time an accident happened from the effects of which he never wholly recovered. By the upsetting of the stage coach between Todmorden and Burnley he had his leg fearfully shattered, and for the damage thus sustained he claimed and got considerable damages from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. A very common idea prevailed at one time that this was the starting point of his commercial prosperity. We believe the idea is a totally mistaken one, and that the very reverse of this is the fact, as there is no doubt the consequences of this disaster were a continual drag both upon his mental and physical energy, and that he not only suffered severely and almost constantly from the effects of the misfortune, but that his life in all human probability was shortened in consequence of it. Mr. Halstead in all his commercial speculations was ecxeptionally fortunate and never, perhaps, more so than when he retired from business at the commencement of the American war. Mr. Halstead has during the latter period of his life occupied offices of honour and usefulness in the town, having been a town councillor and a poor law guardian, and in both positions has won universal respect and esteem. For several years back he has been in the habit of giving the scavengers and other old people a Christmas treat, and, we believe, that his private benevolence has been of a very extensive character. During his residence in Burnley the deceased attended Yorkshire-street Baptist Chapel, and has been one of its principal supporters. There was another very pleasing trait in his character. He was a man who made "troops of friends" wherever he went, and, being fond of travel and of an eminently genial disposition - what Dr. Johnson would have called "a clubable man" - we have no doubt that the annonncement of his death will be received by many distant acquaintances and old travelling companions with little less regret than it has caused in the locality of his birth. Mr. Halstead at the time of his demise had just completed his sixtieth year. The remains of the deceased were interred in the family vault at the Cemetery yesterday morning the 18th instant. The funeral was a private one. Requiescat in Pace |
