Alden Shoe Company
The Alden Shoe Company is an American shoe company founded in 1884 by Charles H. Alden in Middleborough, Massachusetts. Alden specializes in handcrafted men's leather boots and dress shoes, such as Oxfords, Blüchers, loafers, and Chukka boots. History In the 19th century, there were once hundreds of shoemakers in New England, but now Alden is one of only a few factories. Alden is considered a heritage, family-owned brand. Many of the company's roughly 100 workers at its factory in Middleborough are second or third generation, and it sources its leathers mostly from small tanneries in Europe and the U.S. – its shell cordovan comes from the last such tannery in America, Horween Leather Company. Alden has used Horween as their leather supplier since 1930, and is their largest cordovan customer. In 2021, former CFO Richard Hajjar pled guilty to embezzlement of over 30 million dollars from the company of which some 17 million he had transferred to business run by his partner ...

Alden Rowing
Alden Rowing manufactures sliding-seat rowing boats. Their original product, the Alden Ocean Shell, was designed in (sources differ) 1970 or 1971. Traditional shell designs use high aspect ratio hulls, with long waterline with minimum beam, that emphasize racing performance at the cost of stability. These types of boats are only usable on flat water. Alden, however, specializes in shorter, beamier, highly stable designs which are suitable for rowing in open water, where swells are commonly encountered. As of 2004, Alden had sold 25,000 shells. History The original Alden Ocean Shell was designed by Arthur E. Martin, a naval architect, trained at Webb Institute. Martin had begun experimenting with fiberglass as a boatbuilding material in the 1960s. His first design, a kayak, was developed in 1966. Over the next few years, he added a sliding seat and a deck to shed water; this evolved into the Alden Ocean Shell by 1970. Martin Marine was formed in 1971, located in Cohasset, ...

Alden Valley
The Alden Valley is a small valley on the eastern edge of the West Pennine Moors, west of Helmshore in Rossendale, Lancashire, England. In the 14th century it was part of the Earl of Lincoln's hunting park. By 1840 it was home to about twenty farms, largely involved in cattle rearing, although most inhabitants were also involved with the production of textiles, which quickly developed during the Industrial Revolution into the building of textile mills. These have now been demolished and the valley is dominated by sheep grazing, with three working farms and a number of smallholdings. To the north and north-west is Musbury Tor, to the south-west at the head of the valley is Scholes Height, to the west is Musden Head Moor and Burnt Hill. To the south is Bull Hill and the Holcombe Moor, to the south-east is Beetle Hill.

Alden, Norway
Alden is an island in Askvoll Municipality in Vestland County, Norway. The island lies off the mainland coast of the Sunnfjord region. The island sits a few kilometers west of the mouth of the Dalsfjorden, to the east of the Værlandet islands and about west of the island of Atløyna. The residents of the island live on the southern shore of the island. The only access to the island is by boat. There are no regular ferries that stop at the island. The nearest ferry stop is on Værlandet island, about to the southwest. The ferry at Værlandet travels to the village of Askvoll about to the east. The island is most notable for its tall mountain called ''Norskehesten''. The mountain dominates the island, giving it very steep coastlines. The only habitable area is on a small flat coastal area on the southern shore. The towering mountain is a familiar landmark to the fishermen who have sailed the local waters for centuries.
