Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: 'Westwood', Highgate, Heaton, Bradford?
« on: Monday 30 July 12 19:19 BST (UK) »
Hello.
I have just registered and followed your thread. I was brought up in Heaton, not far from Highgate. In the late 1960's Westwood was the home of the French Consul to Bradford. Heaton was a very affluent area thanks to the wool trade and there are many large houses on Highgate.
At the beginning of the 1980's Westwood and the land was aquired by the Flower Fund Homes of Bradford. I think that the property was demolished and certainly bungalows for the elderly were built in the grounds.
Was great aunt Daisy buried in Heaton? If so my husband is involved in the Heaton Grave yard restoration project and I would be happy to have a look in the grave yard. My mother still lives near by so it's no problem.
Best wishes
