- Susan Wintrop - GUESTBOOK Call off the hounds! The mystery "grand daughter" has been identified. The Stead reputation is still intact thanks to excellent geneological sleuthing. [19] Wed 9 May 2012, 19:00pm

- Judy Brown - GUESTBOOK - Full address: Camberwell South Victoria Australia - Subject: Churwell Cooperative Society I saw your request about Morley Coops and it tied into my research for a William Hall b1850 who was listed on the 1911 census as employed as Treasurer of the Churwell Cooperative Society. My grandfather was living with the family after his parents died in 1906 (they were cousins) [18] Thu 3 May 2012, 16:30pm

- Robert Walker - GUESTBOOK - Full address: batley con club branch rd batley - Postcode: wf17 5sb - Subject: The Brunswick Morley Having read an article regarding the Brunswick, let me fill in the blank space from Hilary leaving in June 1999. That was the day me and my wife took over on a 5 year tenancy from White Rose Inns. In 2003 Punch Taverns bought them out. After the 5 years, in June 2004, we left and the pub closed down shortly afterwards. Any more info please contact myself. [17] Mon 23 Apr 2012, 13:46pm

- Martin B Corns - GUESTBOOK 27/03/12, I was born in Morley Hall July 1944, within a few minutes of one of your photograph subjects (Albert Slingsby). I left Morley with my family in 1957. My grandparents Fred and Elsie Brearey remained in Morley until their deaths 1970 & 1981 respectively. I have visited Morley very rarely since their deaths, I now think a visit well overdue. Congratulations on your web site. Regards Martin B Corns. [16] Tue 27 Mar 2012, 20:56pm

- Stewart Scott - GUESTBOOK I was born in Churwell 1950, went to Churwell School and Morley Grammar School. We had the butchers shop in Churwell and went to Back Green Chapel. I remember Chris Hidle. [14] Wed 22 Feb 2012, 20:01pm

- Ronnie Eyre - GUESTBOOK I'm a Morley boy and very proud of it. I left with my parents when I was 11, but I come back often to watch Leeds and to see family. I'm now 52 and I will never forget my roots. Morley is in my heart for ever. Take care Morley folk. [13] Sat 29 Oct 2011, 15:56pm

- Susan Wintrop - GUESTBOOK Apparently my grandfather Laurence Stead, (originally from Morley and the Printing Works then sent to Canada, in early 1900's) had a granddaughter who visited London in the early 1960's. We always thought I was the only granddaughter!!! This person would be in her 70's now and maybe my half sister or a cousin! I know it's a longshot but as an only child, this quest may have wonderful consequences. Thank you for any memories or leads. Susan [12] Mon 16 May 2011, 23:06pm

- Brian Asquith - GUESTBOOK One of two famous neighbours was miner Nat Thewlis the weight lifter, a tiny but very strong man. In summer behind the British Legion he showed we young boys his medals and how to lift weights safely. He didn't make the 1936 Olympics but was very prominent in the sport. His wife was huge and he was so small. The other neighbour was miner Albert Woollin, who became Mayor of Morley. His wife baked lovely bread which she very generously gave to neighbours, I remember her flat cake with affection. [11] Sun 8 May 2011, 13:25pm

- Brian Asquith - GUESTBOOK My grandfather Harry Asquith worked at Topcliffe mine, he was injured and then worked as a screener. In the Red Wood near our shop Thirlmere Stores was an old mineshaft where we young boys lobbed stones over the parapet to hear them thundering down the shaft. The larger the stone the noisier it became. The reservoir was built about the time the Red Mine shaft was sunk and restricted mining activity, so it was never used and the owners applied unsuccessfully to the House of Lords for recompense.

- Kristy Rabbitt - GUESTBOOK A huge thank you to Clive for giving a series of wonderful talks yesterday to our energetic (!) year 7s (11-12 year olds) about the history of Morley High School with some wonderful photos.
