Here is one of the familiar charity stalls at the back of the Town Hall in Market Street. These stalls from different charities were there most Saturday's but it seems to have stopped now, anyone know why. The people running this stall are from left to right Mrs Anne Inwood, Mrs Jan Morris, Mrs Rita Godding, Mrs Anne Heap, Mr Jack Heap and Mrs Lynne Thompson. This was out on September 7, 1991.. all of 33 years ago.  

Here are the starters for the mature citizen egg and spoon race at Norwood Green - I don't have any names or even a date perhaps you might help. I look forward to hearing from you.

The ground work is not quite finished yet but when it is this is the site for the new petrol filling station for Tesco Supermarket. The tall building in the distance are the St James's flats built on the site of the old St James's Church which was demolished in 1972, Then it lay as a neglected vacant site for almost 20 years before the flats were built. The left side of the site is where Kirkley House stood which overlooked Bradford Road. The was often called 'Pork Pie Villa' because Thomas Atkinson the Brighouse pie maker lived there for some time.  

This map is dated c1893 and shows the whole of the town centre as it then was. Looking at it closely you can see there have been many changes over the last 131 years. One interesting feature are the number of backyards between and behind buildings. Many of these did have names but have now long been forgotten. For example the yard behind M  & S Locks in Bradford Road is officially known as Barton'a Buildings, which is possiby named after the local nineteenth century builder John Barton. Walking through the alley way on Commercial Streret to get to the bus station, as you walk through you will pass Ball's Yard, look closely and you will see the sign telling you that. There are many more see if you can find them.
