Nostalgic memories of Triangle's local history

Share your own memories of Triangle and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Triangle, W. Yorkshire
My memories of The Triangle take me back to 1944 when I had completed my first 6 weeks of Army Training and was posted to the ROAC Driver Training School at the Triangle during Oct/November for 6 weeks. The Army billets were in an old Cotton Mill called, I believe Thorpe Mill. I recall the Public House where I had my first pint - at 18 years old... how times have changed. There was also a Hostel for ...see more

Triangle In The 60s
My family and I moved to Hollin Street in 1961. I was a year old. One of my earliest memories was my first day at Triangle C of E School, my teacher was Mrs Wilkinson, the headmaster was Mr Gaskell (we called him Gasbags), my favourite teacher was Mr Sunderland. Several families lived on our street, the Thompsons, Greenwoods, Turners, Wadsworths, Kershaws, Richardsons and many more. We made our own ...see more

Ripponden Barkisland And Krumlin In The 50s
My first memories were of Krumlin where my mum worked at Krumlin mill as a piece burler & mender.

Sunday afternoons was a treat as Grandad took my brother Mark and I over to the pub for ...see more

Triangle In The 50s
My name is Monica Sekulka, I lived at Oaken Royd, Triangle, on the Norland side of the valley. Our house was one of 8, back to back - which the local council decided to demolish in their haste for modernity sometime in the 70s. We moved to Dodge Royd Farm, just a couple of hundred yards from Oaken Royd in the 60s. I remember walking to Triangle primary school over the old bridge by Rough Hey Woods ...see more
