Great Memories.
A Memory of Bradford.
My name is Frank Raper I was born in 1936 lived on Ravenscliffe Estate until 1961.Childhood days were great we were surrounded by woods and fields at that time their were no other estates in that area.Even though war war was raging in the 40s we were unaware of it and apart from having to take our Gas Masks to school and the blasts of the siren from Moorside Mill (now the INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM) we carried on regardless. As we got older and the War was over we would go to the many cinemas all over Bradford you could a different film every night.In the 50s their were lots of Dance Halls I am sure most people of that era will remember the Somerset the Delux the Kings Hall . Bert Shutts at Bankfoot and Guamont to name but a few.My own favorite was The Ashworth School of Dancing in Manchester Road where I learned to trip the light fantastic. And then of course came the Mecca (which was originally the Rollarena) I remember watching Come Dancing whenTerry Wogan was the compere.These are just a few memories from a Great City.
