West Yorkshire memories
Rastrick Brighouse
I used to visit my aunt Irene & uncle Fred Earnshaw at 14, Castlefields Drive, Rastrick. My grandparents lived in Kent where I was brought up. My brother and I were the first Earnshaws born out of Yorkshire for many generations! Fred was Grandad's brother. My grandmother was a Morrell and her father was a local undertaker. I am trying to find his details? It is a bit tricky because my mother was also a Morrell and her father was a wine merchant in Brighouse....the 2 sides of Morrells are not connected as far as I can tell. I used to spend a fortnight's holiday with my aunt & uncle, I well remember going to a factory for fresh brandy snaps...delicious! Castlefields Drive was an unmade road,and led up into the countryside for our many walks. Fred and Grandad used to go for a drink at a working mens' club nearby. I have such happy memories from the late 1940/50s of Brighouse. I think there was a park called Elland park in Brighouse? My father... Read more
Pocket Money
This brought back so many memories I used to walk from my home in LIGHTCLIFFE every saturday morning to spend my pocket money in the paper shop (The wooden hut next to the pub) I would buy an Enid Blyton book for sixpence, this photo must have been taken about the same time as it's just as I remember it Good times
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 and down Knowle Top. Sometimes I would go down the main road to Hipperholme and Lightcliffe or I sometimes used to go past Raymonds smallholding and the scout hut, down Coach Road past all of the bluebells and cut across the school fields. Also, my grandfather Frank Prest was the gardener at Crow Nest. Not a bad little hoof to say I lived on Upper Sutherland Rd!
THE HOUSE WE LIVED IN
I remember moving into a large old house on the corner of Oakes Road South and Tanyard Road back in 1956/1957 when I was around 6 years old. The house was named 'Hollins House' and had enormous rooms with high ceilings and a large hall with a wide shiny bannister, big enough to slide down. At the top of the stairs was a landing with a huge arched window where the stairs turned left onto a large landing area. The front door opened into a small hall which lead onto a large inner hall area. The back door had a latch and was hardly ever locked. During the winter of 1963 the snow was so deep we had to dig our way out of the back door before we could get out. When we moved in Tanyard Road was a narrow track which ran alongside the house where the local grocer would lead his horse Daisy to graze in a feld at the back.There was no council... Read more
Anyone Remember
My Dad was born and lived in Halifax. When he was young a family firm which had a stall in the market hall delivered a fish speciality on bicycles with baskets. We all called it "Halifax Fish" and it was a piece of haddock in a round patty covered in batter. They were sold cold and could be eaten cold or re-heated and eaten hot. As a child I went to the market hall with my Dad to buy Halifax Fish usually 6 or 10 pieces. They were about the size of a man's palm. We adored the stuff and I would often have a half piece for breakfast before catching the bus to school. Brand's A1 sauce being the essential accompaniment. Does anyone remember this Halifax delicacy? I think the recipe and supply of this wonderful food died with the last family member to make and sell it. If anyone recalls, please add a comment. If anyone has the recipe......!
Shop at Entrance to Halifax Market Hall 1896
Charles Wilson Aked b.1859 was joint proprietor of this mens' outfitters shop. He had married Florence Edna Wadsworth in 1895 and they had 2 daughters Florence Gertrude and Constance, later Mrs Cockcroft. Charles sister Kate Helena Aked had married James Mitchell my grandfather and had an Accountants, Estate Agents and Insurance Brokers business which a few years later moved into premises nearby at 15 Commercial Street, Halifax.
Mackintosh Homes
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.
