Heckmondwike Itself
A Memory of Heckmondwike.
In winter time the fog and smog could last several days, and never clear. Coming from a seaside town, I found the first winter very depressing, but after 3 years I did not want to leave. The mills were very impressive, as were the number of churches around the town; and I recall the latter being well attended on Sundays. What about the tripe shop at the front of the Red Lion, facing the Market Place? When I first asked what it was attached to the pub, and told "a tripe shop", I thought I was having my leg pulled. I could never understand why the fish and chip shops were open on a Monday teatime. They never did at home, as the Monday evening dinner was the remains of the joint from Sunday.
