Thanks Jordan for all the Dewsbury content. Do you know of any old photos of Grahams of Dewsbury, the Ford garage on Bradford Road? I think it used to be closer to Dews even though it's been closer to Batley for as long as I remember
Hi DC. Almost handed my knocking sticks over a year or so ago but persistence has paid off and making progress once more. They say use it or lose it and I thinks it’s true
Far too white! Has anybody been to Dewsbury lately? Never mind, the plan is almost complete. Immigration under LibLabCon pro-immigration parties. 2060 indigenous white British a minority say Migration Watch. 36 years! A Muslim Parliament by 2100? Bill=B.N.P.
I'm in Ossett, my Dad from Bradford ... Almost 50 years and nothing changes ... Only now the Pakistan community men formerly in suits in 1975 have reverted to Shalwar Kameez, and made their women wear Hijab. See photo's of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan in the 50's 60's and 70's. I'm a patriot to The UK, don't support the conflicts wherever they are to be found, but the left have become really hateful. The right are no better. However, IF we meet in the middle, if there is patience and respect for everyone's view we could have brought about change as there is always hope, but, 50 years later, anyone speaking about the loss of British culture and understanding is screamed out of the debate. There is no longer the stomach for debate and free speech, so shutting it down seems easier, which is what's been happening in my lifetime ... but like our emotions ...putting a lid on things just makes the pot boil quicker.
Time and again, it's white people on the mortuary slab after yet another racist attack/stabbing/murder...almost every day. Ignored and suppressed by the BBC/media. See also,...''grooming gangs''.
I was born in a house that was visible from the southbound platform at Dewsbury one week after the line officially closed.. I vaguely remember the abandoned station before we moved away in 1970
Looks to be good content but ridiculous amount of watermarking makes almost unwatchable. Are you really claiming all of this as your own? Please remove most of it.
Great. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered if there was an abandoned station inside the bricked up entrance of the old Dewsbury station. Now I know it was totally annihilated 😅
Thanks for sharing these photos! At 6.16 I suspect you are right about the train being on the LNWR New line, probably taken from an overbridge near 'Liversedge Park Farm' (using 25 inch map on NLS website). The platelayers hut is shown on the map and you can see the L&Y line to Mirfield disappearing into a cutting above the loco. The signal post would be in the right place and the 3rd coach is probably just coming off a bridge there. At 2.15 that shot of a westbound train arriving at Mirfield station is one of the best photos I've ever seen of the old LMS colour light signal installation. A section of mainline around Mirfield was installed with an experimental colour light system in the 1930s (I think) - it looks complex!
Same Hey who had a stall on Dewsbury market? Same Hey who was at the Wheelwright when I was, back in the '60s? I still love tripe but can't get it where I live now except by mail order.
@@eyesopen1850 yes, indeed the same Hey. Still alive and kicking. But not as high as I used to! Living in Marlborough U.K. and still trying to hit a decent 5 iron straight.
@@davidhey1599 Well, I'm in Shropshire now and wilting in the heat. Handed my golf clubs and fishing rods to my eldest grandson a few years ago when arthritis started to hit my knees; now i just grow vegetables on my allotment. Keep up the efforts with he 5-iron. DC
I still have the Missal which was presented to Catholic children in 1962, as part of the centenary festivities. Protestant children received a Bible which had the same insert, ie "presented to..." . We had to fill the rest in ourselves.
THANKS A LOT JORAN I REALLY DID ENJOY THAT SEEING WHAT DEWSBURY LOOKED LIKE 70 YEARS AGO STILL THERE LLYODS BANK AND ALTHAMS TRAVEL AGENTS 👍👍WHEN I MOVED TO DEWSBURY I CAN ALSO REMEMBER STYLOS SHOE SHOP
My mum and dads ( both born 1922) first house was the one in the picture of Boat Sams (1:30 and the painting, ) the woman in the doorway would be my dads mum who lived next door, her husband would come home drunk on many occasions and end up in the river lol
