Maxine Peake helps launch events to celebrate the 125th anni

ACTOR Maxine Peake urged people to continue fighting for their 'rights of way' as she joined the launch event celebrating the 125th anniversary of Bolton's fight to walk up Winter Hill.
Maxine, who was born in Westhoughton, joined an open meeting via Zoom to hear more about the historical event and how the fight to enjoy the open countryside continues to this day ­­—with warnings on how 'rights' to enjoy the open countryside are hugely curtailed.
Up to 10,000 people marched in the Winter Hill Trespass of 1896 to reclaim their right of way, after landowner Colonel Richard Ainsworth of Smithills Hall closed off a well-used track that crossed his land on the slopes of Winter Hill, so he could pursue his love of game shooting uninterrupted.
