More about this scene

West Bradford gets its name from being west of the broad, shallow ford of the River Ribble. Again, we see a large painted board; this one proclaims that James Leeming was proprietor of the Three Millstones Inn on the right of our photograph. Eaves Hall, next to the village, is now a country club for the Civil Service Motoring Association. The cottages on the left were a Mission Room before the church of St Catherine was built in 1898.

1981 The year we moved into West Bradford, to Gable Cottage, built about 1790. For 28 very happy years we lived here. Aunty Nancy the cottage ghost showed her present sometimes! No gas, no lights overhead electric wires and telly pole in back garden! Well, in 28 years on we had gas lights etc etc! Well, it was time to move on. We settled on Portugal! Now we live in a village with no gas, sort of street lights, and a telegraph pole on front garden! We miss west Bradford!
