Memories Of Elland
A Memory of Lockwood.
I lived with my family, Mum, Martha Annie (nee Lumb), dad Arthur, sister Marie (now Richards) and brother Allen at the bottom end of Gas House Lane, now known as Gas Works Lane. We lived there until around 1951/2. I went to Elland Grammar School. The Gas Works were fully operational, we used to collect coke from there every Saturday morning (6d a sack).
The canal was also busy with horse drawn barges, the Malt Kiln owned by Edward Sutcliffe, Maltsters was also busy - my dad worked there. Loved the freedom of living ''down Gas House Lane'',,,, happy days
