West Yorkshire memories
Happy Times
I lived not very far from Beaumont park and as a child I used to go there along with friends, my sister or my brother, I remember the huge slide that was there and the long metal rocking horse that was on the field. The park was great to visit even at winter times, but the best was the summer when the ice cream shop was open and also the large paddling pool was available. Walking down the wide pathways you would come across the stone lions and the lovely monkey trees. The park will always have a special place in my childhood memories.
Boiler Man
My dad Norman Kay, was Boilerman at the hospital during the year of the Queen's Coronation. I was seven years old and I remember the rain, we had our party in a house. Dad was born at Golcar .
Birth Place
Huddersfield is where I was born.
Allen Priests Mill
In 1969 I worked at Allen Priests Mill as a twister, I also did winding.

I then worked downstairs on the Alma machines,with Linda Dutton, Sadie Wheelwright, Pat and Carol. Our foreman was called Lewis Chapman, he died in 1971/72, and Dennis took over from Lewis. Some other people I knew were Doreen Dyson who had a daughter called Maxine, Bernadette who was Irish, we became friends, I was also a friend to Linda and Sadie. Sadie had an accident in 1972/73 when she lost part of a finger, she retired shortley after that, she had a sister who also worked at Allen Priests, her name was Ruth.

Whit Tuesday Walk And Yetton Rant
All of us who attended Kirkheaton Church and Sunday School looked forward to the Whit Tuesday Walk around the village behind the Grange Moor Band. We would all contribute cakes or sandwiches for tea, to be eaten in the school room. Then we would all arrive in our new clothes to march behind the Rector - Dr Dawson - clutching our hymn sheets. It was always a beautiful day and the streets were lined with proud parents or passers-by to wave at us. We would stop at strategic points to sing some well-known rousing hymns and the continue. We would all ram into the school room at the end to demolish our curly sandwiches, jelly and assorted cakes, some lovingly made by our mums. The off we would all go up to the cricket field to listen to the band and join in the sports. After that came the wonderful finale to the day - a visit to Yetton Rant.
Many young romances were formed that day, and each... Read more
