Lund And Becker Houses In Ilkley
A Memory of Ilkley.
I believe this house was built by my great grandfather, Charles Lund, in 1876. He was married to Hannah Pullen. They had three daughters. The youngest, Alice was my grandmother. She married Clarence Becker. They lived most of their lives in Ilkley. Their son, Maurice and daughter Sylvia, my mother, grew up in Ilkley. She moved to America in the 1930s.
I travelled many times with my mother to Ilkley, staying with my grandmother, who by then had moved too Manor Park in Burley. I remember seeing this house along with others in Ilkley, built and lived in by members of the family including Eldemere, on the Grove Road, Overdale, Westwood drive, a double, Suncroft and Inglecrof, Kings Road and finally Fieldhead and Villette on Rupert Road.
