Great Times
We used to live in Yeadon in a council house, and when my Dad came out of the Army as an Officer he bought a plot in Hawksworth Lane (number 54). He had a house built by Prior who built all the Tranmere Park Estate between Hawksworth Lane and Harry Ramsdens. Every Sunday, I would don my football boots and go to the 'tip' (a filled in tip) and play and play football all afternoon with boys from the houses in Hawksworth Lane (Brian Armstrong, Alan and Martin Long and the village (Lesley Brown, Len Briggs - sorry there were quite a few but I forget the names). I do recall a group of girls came up from Esholt to watch - Margaret and Carol Jeffrey, the others I also 'forget' - what a shame and how sad. Anyway, if anyone wants to get in touch try: blackwellken@supanet.com
West Yorkshire memories
Mrs Cladd
Anyone remember Mrs Cladd who lived in a converted railway carriage - at least I think thats what it was - just up from Fairfax Hall, opposite the house called Farthings? She was an old lady who grew what we now call cherry tomatoes, but they were a delicious novelty then, and she sold them for a shilling a pound. Am I right in thinking her house was replaced by the working mens club? We left Menston in 1964 to move south to Portsmouth but over the years I have passed through the village many times when in the area on walking holidays.
Menston Fire Station
I had heard that there was a fire station, probably in the area of the Fox and Hounds public house. I recall a conversation with my father, sadly no longer with us, and he gave me an old set of keys, telling me they were for the fire station next to the Fox and Hounds. Information on the keys indicate that my father was a fireman prior to call up in the Second World War. I would just like to know if anyone can recall this or even has a photo of it.
Maurice Garforth, The 'Pot Man'
Does anyone remember the red wagon laden with pots and pans?
Growing up in Baildon.
Being born in 1928 and born in Rose cottage on Brook hill, low Baildon, it is a delight to see all the photos of Baildon, have not been back there for quite some time, but memories are refreshed with the photos. lived at 19 Station road untill the first day of WW2 moved into a counsil house on cliffe Avenue, was away from there for several years serving in the Royal Navy, but loved to return there on leave, left good old Baildon to emigrate to the USA, in 1957 and returned many times to visit.
Langley Residential School Fairfield Drive Baildon
My name is Steve Gill and I lived at the Langley Residential School in Baildon
from 1961 to 1962.
If anybody remembers me could they please get in touch. I remember a good
mate called John Laycock and a girl called Sandra.
The Staff were mainly nurses and we had a school teacher who taught us music
and made sure everybody participated in her favourite sport which was archery.
We used to have trips out and I clearly remember visiting York and Whitby.
Langley School (heart Hospital) BAILDON
My sister was employed as a nurse?? at this BIG house around 1955/56. One Christmas the management invited me via my sister Beryl Carter to play my trumpet for all the children many with heart problems. I slept overnight and had a great time as it was Christmas Eve. I remember I had to catch the bus home on my own from Shipley to Greengates because my sister was on duty that Christmas day.
