West Yorkshire memories
The Talbot
I used to live at the Talbot Inn. In fact, it was the one and only time I have ever had a ghostly experience, I loved the place. My Dad, was the Landlord. I cried when I found out they had demolished it in 2009. So many happy memories xxxxx
Can Anyone Remember .....
It was lovely to see photos of the Queensbury I remember as a child. I have been going over the High Street in my mind, trying to remember the names of all the shops. Can anyone remember the shop that was between Gallons and Swires Drapers shop. I just can't remember it and it is driving me mad.
I was born and brought up in Queensbury and lived there until I was married. After looking on Google Maps it would appear that the High Street has changed much. gone is Stocks Hardware Shop which was full of everything you didn't know you wanted. Gone are all the other shops - The Economic, Archers Newsagents, Stanley Coats Sweet Shop and Miss Giffords Hat Shop. That's the nice thing about memories, they stay fresh in your mind and never tarnish. If anyone can remember the name of that shop then please add a memory.

My Fading Memories
I was but a lad of 8 when my folks bundled us all off to a wide land downunder. Since 1968, Australia has been my home.
I often speak of my fading memories of Queensbury, my walks through the village, living on 'The Mountain', which I see has now been torn down. Life for me was all about the mountain, living there in a small two-storey house, two bedrooms upstairs, a sitting room and kitchen downstairs - no bathroom or toilet, they were down at the end of the street. The moors across the road, often populated by 'Alan the farmer's' milkers. Nanna and Grandad lived just a few doors along, easy walking distance for a small boy. Nanna's house was much better than ours, with a bathroom and toilet having been added upstairs by my carpenter uncle.
School was at Foxhill to start with, with Mr Smith, a fine elderly gentleman, as the headmaster. Mr Smith often mentioned to me that he had taught my parents... Read more
Happy Years
Earliest memories... staying home from school (Church School now Russell Hall) in the winter because the boiler had burst. Swinging on my gran's gate on Highfield Terrace, and playing with a teaset and dolls pram in her house, and loving the view from her window, going down in the cellar to look at the washer boiler. May Dday processions, fizzy pop delivered every week, Dandelion n Burdock our favourite. Sunday School outings with Feathers coaches, and the mystery trips which seemed to be to Grassington a lot. The little Sunday school by the Navvie houses where we used to sing 'Running over, running over, my cups full and running over' etc. I loved those songs where we threw our hands about. Going into Mildred's house and tap dancing in the mat well at my friend Ann's house opposite. Being told ghost stores in the passage in between the houses. Playing in the field opposite Foxhill School at lunch times. Not realising until much later what a wonderful view there... Read more
Big Snow
I was 12 years old that year, and we could not get to school for the big drifts.
Moved in to Denholme
I was 4,nearly 5, when I moved into Denholme from Bramley Leeds, and started school at the D.P.S, Mr H Heinghton was headmaster then. A lot has gone out of Denholme since I have come back, the mills and lovely small shops.
Anyone Remember
My Dad was born and lived in Halifax. When he was young a family firm which had a stall in the market hall delivered a fish speciality on bicycles with baskets. We all called it "Halifax Fish" and it was a piece of haddock in a round patty covered in batter. They were sold cold and could be eaten cold or re-heated and eaten hot. As a child I went to the market hall with my Dad to buy Halifax Fish usually 6 or 10 pieces. They were about the size of a man's palm. We adored the stuff and I would often have a half piece for breakfast before catching the bus to school. Brand's A1 sauce being the essential accompaniment. Does anyone remember this Halifax delicacy? I think the recipe and supply of this wonderful food died with the last family member to make and sell it. If anyone recalls, please add a comment. If anyone has the recipe......!
