Memories of West Yorkshire
The Talbot
I used to live at the Talbot Inn. In fact, it was the one and only time I have ever had a ghostly experience, I loved the place. My Dad, was the Landlord. I cried when I found out they had demolished it in 2009. So many happy memories xxxxx
Big Snow
I was 12 years old that year, and we could not get to school for the big drifts.
Moved in to Denholme
I was 4,nearly 5, when I moved into Denholme from Bramley Leeds, and started school at the D.P.S, Mr H Heinghton was headmaster then. A lot has gone out of Denholme since I have come back, the mills and lovely small shops.
Can Anyone Remember .....
It was lovely to see photos of the Queensbury I remember as a child. I have been going over the High Street in my mind, trying to remember the names of all the shops. Can anyone remember the shop that was between Gallons and Swires Drapers shop. I just can't remember it and it is driving me mad.
I was born and brought up in Queensbury and lived there until I was married. After looking on Google Maps it would appear that the High Street has changed much. gone is Stocks Hardware Shop which was full of everything you didn't know you wanted. Gone are all the other shops - The Economic, Archers Newsagents, Stanley Coats Sweet Shop and Miss Giffords Hat Shop. That's the nice thing about memories, they stay fresh in your mind and never tarnish. If anyone can remember the name of that shop then please add a memory.

My Fading Memories
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, living there in a small two-storey house, two bedrooms upstairs, a sitting room and kitchen downstairs - no bathroom or toilet, they were down at the end of the street. The moors across the road, often populated by 'Alan the farmer's' milkers. Nanna and Grandad lived just a few doors along, easy walking distance for a small boy. Nanna's house was much better than ours, with a bathroom and toilet having been added upstairs by my carpenter uncle.
School was at Foxhill to start with, with Mr Smith, a fine elderly gentleman, as the headmaster. Mr Smith often mentioned to me that he had taught my parents... Read more
