Hiya,  The Garnets are still there.  Have you looked on the www.leodis.net site - a photographic archive that has most streets/areas covered.  Julie

Hiya,

Have a look at www.leodis.net.  It's a Leeds City Council site that is a photographic archive.  You can put in street names with brilliant results.  Good luck.

Hiya,   My dad, uncle and grandad worked at  Fowlers.  My dad did his engineering apprenticeship with them in the 1930s and returned there after WW2.  His dad was 'hirer and firer' at the time (presumably the Human Resources of the day).  My grandad was Harry Stephenson and my dad is Ronnie.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Hunslet Hall

Hiya,

You may have answered your Hunslet Hall Road question.  There was a Hunslet Hall and yes, Hunslet Hall Road led to it and although the hall is gone, the road still exists.  The hall was there from early times, at least from the 1400s, when it was the manor house for Hunslet. 

Regards,

Julie

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: East Hunslet Liberal Club
« on: Thursday 23 March 06 21:09 GMT (UK)  »
The Peggy Tub WMC on Woodhouse Hill Road in Hunslet, Leeds 10.  The Peggy Tub was always the nickname of the East Hunslet Liberal Club but these days, the 'Liberal' bit has gone. Today's building doesn't look that old but maybe some old lad there might know something, if you dropped them a line.  Hope that helps. Julie

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / WINTER/BOSIER Marriage - Amersham
« on: Thursday 23 March 06 20:54 GMT (UK)  »
Please could anyone with access to the parish records for Amersham look up the marriage of Richard Winter and Martha Bosier 26.1.1789.  I'm wondering if it says they were 'out of parish' or the like.  I'm wondering if Richard was from Yorkshire.  Any help much appreciated.   Julie

Looking for Thomas Ariss (born c1826) and hopefully, his parents.  Should be in Moreton Morrell/Wellesbourne/Charlescote area.  I'm wondering if Thomas was a middle name.  Really stuck on this one.

Hello,

I live in Hunslet, now a district of Leeds in West Yorkshire.  There is a Royal Place today but not the one your relatives would know.  Today's Royal Place is a street of 1970s council housing.  I remember the old 'Royals' from my childhood.  They were streets of Victorian, terraced, red-brick housing - the '2 up. 2 down' type of working people, where the toilets were in a yard down the street, shared by about six families.   There was usually a shop at the end of each street - grocer, hairdresser, fish and chip shop etc.  A very friendly community.  They were demolished in the 60s and replaced by the new estate.  The area in Hunslet is called Hunslet Carr.
