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.
Heckmondwike in The Early 1960s
I remember the market so well, it was the heart of Heckmondwike. You could buy anything from it, including clothes, meat and veg. The pork pies sold there were beautiful, and the beef dripping.

So many memories oh Heckmondwike when I was growing up.
Toffee Smith
The best stall in the market was Toffee Smith's sweet caravan, when it wasn't on the market it was parked up Oxford Road, Gomersal.
The Unicorn Pub
Does anyone know anything about it please?

Many school children would by-pass the house because they were deeply afraid of the woman, and rightfully so, as I have seen what harm she did to this young girl. I do know that some young boy tried to go on the run with the young girl but were soon to be caught by the police; were you that young boy, possibly 12- 13 years of age, or did you know this girl? I know who she is by name, as when I was in my thirties I was her boyfriend and whilst with her I experienced many strange happenings, I wished... Read more
