Hipperholme Cross roads and lightcliffe
The little 'hut' on the corner to me was always known as 'Mannings'. I think Mr Manning lived at the top of the stray. I had a paper round there for a while, early mornings going as far as Crosslee factory. I then used to go home and walk to school. I used to walk down Sutherland Road, up the snicket... [more]

West Yorkshire memories
Yes, that's the name we gave them later on in our youth. No one did fish and chips like Mr Buttler and his wife, only costing a few pence to my knowledge. We used to put loads of salt and vinigar on. Then this loud voice would say 'That's enough lads, off you go' . Buttlers even became a hang-out place... [more]

At the time we lived near Coley church, mum, dad, sister June, brother Paul and me, Steven. I remember moving up to Burnley Hill Terrace near the Duke of York on a horse and cart. I didn't realise then but it was our first house with a bathroom, it must of been heaven for mum and dad not having to get... [more]

The old railings that used to surround the gibbet, which I think are now in Bankfield Museum, were made by one of my Great-Great Grandfathers.

I can remember going to visit a lady who lived in the corner house here. It always fascinated me that she had a clock on her mantlepiece with a lady that sat on a swing that used to swing back and forward.

I was but a lad of 8 when my folks bundled us all off to a wide land downunder. Since 1968, Australia has been my home.
I often speak of my fading memories of Queensbury, my walks through the village, living on 'The Mountain', which I see has now been torn down. Life for me was all about the mountain,... [more]

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories
Hipperholme is at the busy intersection of roads from Brighouse, Halifax, Denholme and Leeds. The Co-op store (1889), left, is now a motorcycle showroom. The Whitehall Inn is still here, but the fish and chip shop, right, now has a more pleasant aroma as a florist.

Bradford Photographic Memories
The park boasted three acres of ornamental water, landscaped into sinuous curves. In the distance rowers are rounding a wooded island. In 1926 the boating was leased to Mr Fred Falkingham, who maintained a trim fleet of rowing-boats for visitors, as well a motor-launch. Manoeuvring the dinghy in such a tight space must have been a little daunting.

Huddersfield - A History & Celebration
While those firms weaving khaki thrived, the post-war depression and the gold standard crisis quelled any optimism. Employers tried to slash costs by wage cutting, leading to some 20,000 textile workers striking for several months in 1925 and in 1930. However, it was generally agreed that Huddersfield was not so badly affected as other areas, mainly due to the diversity of its industry. The textile trade itself was not reliant... [more]
