West Yorkshire memories
Allens Temperance Bar
Hello everyone. I have fond memories of visiting Allens in White Abbey Road, Manningham, Bradford. It would be usually while walking home from school, St Patricks on Rebecca St, or after mass at St Patrick's Church on Sedgefield Terrace. I distinctly remember it was unlike any other place I had ever been in. The large shop window would be glowing in the dark drawing you in where it was warm & quiet. It was tiny with a couple of table and chairs set on a bare floor. The walls were lined with numerous little barrels with wonderful names such as dandelion & burdock, sarsparilla etc. Behind the actual bar were beautiful hand pumps. It was run by an elderly couple who I thought were the Allens, not knowing anything about the temperance movement. I understand that there was a second Allens on Manningham Lane but I never had the chance to visit there. I would love to know if anyone had a picture of the white abbey Allens or could... Read more
Saddle Bar
Hello me again. As I have so many lovely memories of Manningham, which I could reminisce about all day, I've decided to start by concentrating on what I think were local land marks. The Saddle Bar stands out vividly in my mind. Situated on Carlisle Road opposite the Malborough Picture house, the shop incorporated a wagon into its counter complete with wheel and all the associated horse tack etc. The smells were wonderful and would drift down the street to greet you. Ham shanks, meat & potatoe pies, cheese & onion pasties, pie & peas with lashings of mint sauce. My sister and I would always visit after swimming at the Drummond Road swimming baths on a saturday morning for a glass of Tizer and just to take in what to my young eyes was the sheer fantasy setting of it all. Has anyone got a photograph they would be willing to share? It would be most appreciated.
Life at The Pub in Shipley, West Riding Yorkshire.
My mother, father and I moved into an old Victorian public house in Shipley. Life was different living in a pub and travelling miles to school in Bradford.
Hammonds Sauce Works Brass Band
For some reason my dad Ernest Carter around 1952/53 got all us Carter kids joined into the Hammond Sauce Works Brass band in SHIPLEY....DAD was a member of the BRADFORD City brass band. We'd go for practice Tuesday and Thursdays each week, we did this for many years till about 1963 when we kids got sick of the running around, me 20 yo by then and playing for THE DUNEDIN PLAYERS all around BRADFORD. We also practiced for the Yeadon old Prize band Weds and Sundays. We were a very busy family. I never made any money from the bands but had a lot of fun...I think and visited many parts of Yorkshire.. I EVEN played for THE QUEEN in 1952.. after her CORONATION.. big deal...WE played at 1/2 time for BRADFORD PARK AVENUE football team for MANY YEARS...and my brother Arthur marched in front as the band's mascot..he was 5 or 6 years old I,d be about 8 years old..Thats my recollection of THE HAMMOND SAUCE WORKS BRASS BAND.....

My Memories of Windhill
I was born on Woodville Street in 1945 and can remember all the back to back houses and all the shops below the parish church down to the bottom of Carr Lane, Annie Dawson's, the Co-op, Traveller's Rest etc. I bought most of the books on Windhill which were published by the Windhill Memories Group but unfortunately they were miss-placed when we moved out to Australia in February 2008. I would be interested in swapping stories of the Windhill I knew.
Fun Times
I was born in Lower Aire Street in 1944, my brother was born in 1942. I left when I was 8 years old but can still remember the street. We lived next door to Mr and Mrs Wiley on one side and Mrs Hargreaves on the other side of us. I remember Bonfire Nights in particular when all the doors were open and there were different goodies at each house. We lived just opposite the back gate of the Windhill Club which I remember was a wooden building. I think it was burned down and the now existing club stands on the same site. I was back there a few years later working at The Metal Box Co at the top of Woodbrow Road. I still remember Mellors shop, it always had a strange smell but I don't know what of. Does anyone else remember the shop?
Windhill Memories Group
My father (W F King, known as Bill) was a member of this group which unfortunately no longer exists but has donated its photographs and booklets to West Yorkshire Archives. My father left me all his photographs and I am the legal copyright owner of all those he gave to the Group and many more of Windhill. I can supply early 20th century photos of Windhill (and free Thumbnails) if you contact me at wfkphotos@ntlworld.com.
