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.

Mumming
I used to live in College Road off Manchester Road, but I now live in Australia. I can remember going Mumming on New Years Eve, we used to dress up and go round all the Pubs in Town and also the Alhambra at the end of each show of the Pantomine and folk would give us Money and ask us to do a turn for them, good old days when kids could stay out till all hours of the night without any fears.
Happy Memories of my Grandparents
My first memory of Chellow Dene reservoir dates back to the mid-sixties. My grandparents Jack and Betty Parkinson lived at Chellow Grange Lodge, just down the road from the reservoir, and when I visited them - my parents and I lived about 20 minutes walk away - they would often take me there. A few weeks ago I visited the area for the first time in 30 years and was pleased to find it almost unchanged, although the fountain has now disappeared!
Growing up in Fitzgerald St
Oh the good old days !!!
From 1938 to 1976, when we emigrated to Canada, I remember the places talked about in the other peoples memories having lived in Fitzgerald St until they tore it all down. I remember Paisley St, Grafton St, Earl St, Stirling St etc. When I was old enough to drink we used to go to the Princess Alice pub in Grafton St.
Other memories were the Western cinema in Park Rd, trying to sneak in after the first house emptied, and also playing "tin can squat" when we didn't have a ball.
Riding up and down Manchester Rd on the front upstairs of the tram, we used to pay a halfpenny to Smiddles Lane rec.
How times have changed, and I'm not sure for the better.
