West Yorkshire memories
Please does anyone remember a shop owned by my grandparents in this area, under the name of either BROADHURST or APPLEYARD? I would be very grateful if anyone could recall the names. Winefred Broadhurst was my grandmother born in 1900. Thankyou very much. debasket42@aol.com

It seems like forever ago that I lived in Royston. I remember it with fondness, Notton woods, the long summer days lasting forever, riding our motorcycles down the lines. I will cherish living there all my life.

Extracts From Notton & West Yorkshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Notton, inspired by Frith photos.
Just south of the abbey's cliffs lie these rocks, which show the inroads made by the alum mining industry during the previous centuries. Before the chemists discovered a simpler method of fixing the dyes used in cloth manufacturing, alum was successfully used for this purpose. It had first to be extracted from rich mineral-bearing stone. This was mined locally both at Saltwick and Sandsend, and... [more]

The railway line continues past the houses and the stone bridge of East Row, whilst the flow from the beck makes a tempting paddling pool. Bathing machines were still in use at this time, as we see on the right.
