Does anyone have any information about Bracken Bank Hostel which I think was accommodation for foreign female employees 1940 onwards for Haggas's mill.

There is now a large hole in Church Green where the Lord Rodney once stood. Well done to Timothy Taylors for preserving it!!!!

    I must admit, it stunned me as well, anyone know what is happening, as this was in a conservation area, although not a listed building ~ or so I understand

    According to a workman they are rebuilding the pub. It evidently fell down when they were removing a wall. The whole building was unstable.

Looking for descendants or historical information regarding John E. Whitaker   (Sr.) family from Bingley   / Keigley area.  May be one son, Arthur, who stayed in England, the balance came to Texas in 1850s.  Family associated with grocery, drapery business in Bingley and cotton and horticulture in Texas. John E. Whitaker, Sr. was in New York in the 1860s to 1870s -- may have returned to England by 1881 to run a Grocery Store.

HM Revenue and Customs proposed office closures
 
HMRC plans to close the following offices:
Keighley
Skipton
Huddersfield
Halifax
Shipley
 
This will have a devastating effect on local economies. It is estimated that staff in the above locations spend in excess of £100000 in those locations.
 
An extra 500 people will be traveling to Bradford under these proposels.
