My Grandad H. Wood

I am the grandson of Harold Wood, the son of Enid his daughter, who is now the last desendent of H. Wood who is now 82. My grandfather started the buseness in 1922 with one vehicle. In 1965 after building the business to over 500+ vehicles he retired. In his retirement he enjoyed family holidays, his garden, jigsaws, the bigger the better, and cooking. He was an active man with lots of hobbies until his death.

RE: RE: My Grandad H. Wood

Please could you tell me anything about the graveyard at the top of Wormald Street in Heckmondwike? There is a wood yard next to it now, but where was the church, and what did the wood yard area use to be? Any information would be gratefully received.
