    Very true. Shelf is in BMDC but I'd pretty much Halifax territory. Brighouse is only about four miles from there but is a hot bed of dog botherers, parts of Cleckheaton are in kirklees

    Not the village, it had a rather large hospital in it!

    Colloquially named “ Menston Hospital “

    And that estate in Menston that it has been turned into, sorry for anyone who lives on there is the most soulless and strange place around.
