Grew up in Bradford and i find all this fascinating , thanks guys .
Thanks for watching and commenting.
We have more to come 😉
Thank you for sharing this piece of local history.
Further to an earlier comment ,this is the Girls entrance to the former Hanson Girls Grammar school.
Hanson junior school is further back up Byron St.
I know, as I went there 61/65
Thanks for your videos. I love them and definitely want to see more of them 🙂
Glad you like them and thanks for the feedback.
Remember playing football for Manningham middle school against Hanson around 1971 on the pitch next to the school (Myra shay), it was probably the most coldest match I ever played in, I was absolutely frozen “happy days” 😂😂
😄
Love these type of videos, was so pleased you located her grave too
Hi there :-)
Hopefully, get a little closer next time when it's cleaner.
Thanks again.
That building was the former Pollard Middle School. I went to the one further up this same rd , Lapage Middle School back in the early 90s #memories #nostalgic
Thank you
I find your videos fascinating, thank you for your efforts.
Really appreciate it. Thank you.
I went to this school in 1985 , it was known as Pollard Park Middle School
surely this is the secondary school - Hanson Junior school was behind it on Byron Street I think. We used to cut through and up steep stone stairs to get to the Junior School in the 1960's
Thanks for alerting us.
I have changed the title to save any confusion.
Amazing part of history with all the detail. Keep up the good work with your research.
Thank you 😊
Sad and interesting thank you for telling her story
Thank you.
I was at this school in the late 60’s when it was Hanson Boys Grammar School.
👍🏼
This is right next to my house, cool to know some of the history surrounding it, thank you
Thanks for connecting with us.
It's a small world 🌎 😌
How wonderful your following my childhood home locations ….. firstly The Ghost of Thornton Viaduct. I was born virtually under the Viaduct. At three months old my family relocated to Barkerend Road. Barlow Street to be precise. Just a few streets away from where you were standing at the location of this next tragedy where poor Mary sadly lost her life at Hanson. Whilst you were walking along Gilpin Street your walked past the top of Webster Street which is next to Barlow Street on Barkerend Road where I spent virtually my whole childhood. Webster Street had its own tragedy. In the 1970s or early 1980s the police came knocking on our door. They were trying to gather information about an old lady who lived on Webster Street who had sadly been found in pieces and located pushed up into the chimney cavity in the cellar of her home. It eventually transpired she had befriended a young boy who used to pop round to her home visiting for tea, cakes and sandwiches. She felt sorry for the young boy apparently. It was he who had been considered the perpetrator of her demise. My parents purchased the Telegraph & Argus on a Monday through to Saturday every week and were shocked to realise this lady’s story had not even been reported on. With hindsight it might have been due to the age of the boy. What a coincidence you reporting yet again from a key location in my life ……. I hope its not a pattern forming until eventually you get to the last location of my life and I have suffered a tragic event which you end up reporting on … lol. It was wonderful to hear all the background information of day to day events at the time of Marys death in relation to the school. It set the scene perfectly. To see the actual photo from the article as a comparison to the building now was a very nice touch indeed and finishing on the visit to Marys resting place was the ideal ending to a very interesting story. Thank you to all involved.
Very interesting information you have supplied there.
You just never know what's around the corner, it's a small world.
Keep connecting with us , more to come. Thanks. 😉
Fascinating
👍🏼🙂
Another winning upload that educates and raises awareness of further hidden aspects of our fantastic city's history. What a shocking story but you've ensured the poor girl has been remembered.
On a more worrying note - I fear for the welfare of Imtiaz! We last saw him calling Rebecca into the tunnel of Pitty Beck... 👻
Thank you 😊
The search party is out looking for our comrade !
Pleasure Brother.
Wonderful 😊
Thanks 👍
Quite an interesting, but sad story. Poor girl, she wasn't the only Edwardian woman to die in this way. A lady visiting the Grand Canyon met a similar fate, in very much the same way. She was standing near the canyon's rim when a gust of wind sewpt her up and out, over the canyon before letting her go........
😔
Yes more stories about Bradford people 😊👍
Sure.
We shall work on some soon.
Thanks for connecting with us.
I love this kind of stuff, love local history. There’s a grave at the owlet road cemetery Shipley where the little boy was meant to be a Jack the Ripper victim. Heartbreaking to read the story, love to see you guys do a vid about it. Thanks for everything you guys do. Love your channel.
Thank you for connecting.
Please direct message us on our Facebook page with the details of the boy. We can look into it. Much appreciated.
Sorry I don’t have Facebook but the little boy was called John ‘Johnny’ gill of Manningham. There’s a few articles on the web about it. Very interesting but awful read.
@Victoria Oh Yes.
I know the story well. Very gruesome !
One we will definitely do. Thanks 👍🏼
I can’t wait to watch this video
Looking forward for feedback 😀 Enjoy.
Love the video mate did you do the ww2 grave yard igave you yet please do so a shout out
Yes , thanks.
You're linked in the description when it goes up.
Thanks for watching 👀
I loved watching this. My grandad was a pupil at the school and will probably be in the headmasters book. I don't know when he was a pupil there but was born 1904. He was repeatedly caned for writing with his left hand until he eventually used his right.
That's interesting 🤔
Do you mind mentioning his name and if I come across him I will let you know.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
@@BradfordThroughTheLens Thanks that would be nice, he was Hubert Thompson born 08/11/1904.
Hanson junior school was up Byron Street about 200 yards from the junction where the picture of the entrance to the Girls’ Grammar School was taken. There is no way Mary could have jumped from one of the upper windows - the suicide theory - as they only have top openers and the windows in the classrooms are too high for her to even climb onto the window bottom let alone access the open part. Keep up the good work with the stories from Bradford!
👍
Absolutely, those windows had a cord and ratchet configuration to operate the top windows and a boat hook type pole to pull the windows down.
Incredible insights from the headmaster's journal. So sad that nature caused such a fatal accident to Mary, a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nonetheless another enjoyable film.
Yes , absolutely 💯 freak of an accident.
Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
i know that area
I used to attend this school back in the 70's was called pollard Park middle school then. There was rumours at that time it was haunted,n a ghost of female was seen a few times..but regardless fond memories !
Never knew about the ghost stories.
We love a good ghost story on this channel.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Here's one for you to look into lads.i once read that Alistair Crowley,dubbed,as the wickedest man in the world,& member of the occult group the golden dawn,held a meeting at a hotel in Bradford in the early 20thc. Is that true..? Keep the history alive,well done..!
You're spot on!
I have heard the same story.
Thank you.
I can’t believe Bradford Council do not tend to the cemeteries anymore. Disgraceful
Its sooo bad that cemetary. Bowling is nowhere near as bad
💯
