West Yorkshire memories
A NEW BEGINNING
My first school was Purlwell. Then I attended Warwick Road School in Batley Carr. I remember the flats being built up the side of Hyrstlands Road. We used to have so much fun going up and down ladders and scaffolding. Needless to say, before H & S. Also, when they were knocking down the old houses, or slums (not that I would call them that, people lived in them and they were their homes), one day when all of us from Hyrstlands decided that we wanted to make a bunker (people from round here will know what I am on about) we all went down to the old houses. What a great time.Being able to smash up things and not get a good hiding for it. Plus we got enough wood and four wheels from a pram to make a great bunker. I barely remember the cinema at the bottom of Batley Carr. It had been demolished and later a church would be built, but I think that the right... Read more

Royal Hotel
Does anyone remember the Royal Hotel in Batley, it was on a corner I think of Bradford Road and a road that went up a very steep hill to a village. Lived there from 1963-1965 and went to Park Road School. Looking for a photo of the pub if anyone has one. Remember traffic lights being outside on the corner and a man that used to keep ferrets down his shirt and trousers when he came in for a pint.
Chickenley Hall
Hello. My father lived at Chickenley Hall in the 1940s as he was adopted and brought to the home by the Armitage family. He eventually came to Scarborough, North Yorkshire and has started to write his memoirs which are still in production. What's been written so far has been put onto Facebook by myself. Anyone who would like to help with any info, please feel free to contact me.
Mum
Hello, my mum was born in 1957, her mum Margaret Hanson married into the Armitage family, my mum was adopted roughly in the 1960s along with her full brother, her mum Margaret emigrated to Australia and later had another son by the name of Robert Armitage who we know has been trying to find my mum. Her full brother (unsure of his name) is apparently living in London, he was never adopted acording to records, there was a post in 2007 from a guy called JJ on the Ancestry site looking for a lady with my mum's exact date of birth, who wanted to find her, any information would be gratefully received, thanks.
Being Nostalgic
My memories of Chickenley was learning how mutch we depended on each other, neighbours were important, we all used to go to the tip (football/recreation ground) to play our games. I now live in Mirfield, I am retired, and looking back I know we had it hard compared today but I think we were better people. We used to live at Princess Road opposite the school.
