Title: Schools
Post by: jasmi on Saturday 04 October 14 21:51 BST (UK)
Does anyone have info on schools in the 1920/30, near the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, probably between Kirkstall and Whitecote area.  Or any sweet or chocolate factories in the same area.

Thanks

Not that I can think of, any particular reason?
Plenty of mills, no schools.

My dad was born at Kirkstall, he said he lived mostly on a coal barge till his father died in 1930, at Newley Bridge. The family had an address at Whitecoats.  He also said that (when he went) he attended a jewish school for a time. He was one of only three non jewish boys there.  Just trying to find addresses for the family.

Not knowing if you know the area, as Whitecoats is on a steep hill the nearest school (could end up being corrected here) is Bramley with both council (national) and church schools.
 Going down the hill we have Rodley I believe just had the one school (council).

Thanks, somewhere to start from, at least.

Going from Newlay bridge towards Horsforth (once again a steep incline) there were not any Jewish faith schools, Catholic school and council school only.
The nearest Jewish faith school I would imagine is more likely towards the Moortown area.
(I would say 3miles from Horsforth as the crow flies)

Do you have a map of the area to visualise the distances involved?

Thanks, I see there is a Trafalgar Terrace mention for 1923. Couldn't find it on todays map. Would that be near to any of the addresses I have.  I've come across Rutland Terrace (1922) and Burley Street, though the later I'm sure was in the 1950's

Thanks
