Old images of Bradford

Happy days weren't they Bronco?

 

Did the belfry go under another name shortly before it closed. remember going to a bar there early eighties

 

It was called Chaplins for a while, think that was as a nightclub though.

 

That seems to ring a bell more than the belfry

 

It’s now all been demolished just the high wall remaining

 

So sad to see really

 

I used to love the lido

 

The first time I ever had Smokey bacon crisps was at the lido.

 

My old house is on there. I looked at this photo a few days ago and couldn’t work out what was missing……. Then it dawned……..Big chimney at the power station!

Even the Rollerina can be seen.

 

Fizinghall Model Railways!

Now up Baildon nowadays.

 

Opposite the Turf/ Norman Arch. Frizinghall model Railways

1936 Photo.

. Manningham station is out of shot. Go to the end of Midland Rd at Queens road turn tight go down 20 yards opposite side of road is a slope down to the stone yard. The stone yard was created out of the station. That was the station forecourt. Manningham steam shed entrance was to be found at the top of the junction where Bolton Lane leaves Queens Rd. Clarke’s engineering of old where the Ripper worked was built on the shed land after demolition.

 

My entire childhood in that one photo Dave. House just out of shot!

 

You dare devil you.
