FORGOTTEN CORNERS

[Stanley]

Yes Ian..... But the lane is still there and all the puzzles about reversed water flow when you get down to the bottom before the ford.....



This is the bottom of the lane just before the ford. What used to be the head race for Bracewell Mill crosses here but runs in the wrong direction now. I remember it took me a while to work out that this was because of changes made in the field drainage over the years.....

David Whipp's picture of the memorial bench to 'Pop Hill' a noted local cyclist. It's on the roadside near Yarlside Farm on the Bracewell road.

When I was regularly cycling, I always used to catch a breath there if I was out that way, especially on the way back up into Barlick.

The last time I saw Len at the Labour Party gala in 1978.....

[PanBiker]

He was on the council with Sally when she was elected and he and Betty regular supporters up at the Clarion.

Bankfield and Coates in 1963. A lot has changed in 60 years!

Coates Mill in 1985

Bankfield and Coates in 1905.

Bank House and David Whipp's father's hen huts, c.1950. During the Inter War period there was a proposal to convert Bank House into a cottage hospital for the town but it never came to fruition.

[Stanley]

Bank House Deed plan March 23 1914. I assume the proposed new 12 yard wide road is connected to the hospital proposal. Like that, it never happened.

A full house at Barlic Bites on February 8th 2014.

The Wesleyan church and Sunday School in 1963. We still had a railway line as well but that was soon to go.....
