My family used to live in Hollyshaw Grove in the mid to late seventies. I worked
in my teens as a waitress at the restaurant at Temple Newsam - closed down many
years ago. I'm having sleepless nights trying to remember the name of it! Does
anybody out there remember what is was called? Rubbish wages though - 25p an
hour as I recall! Happy days though!

Hi. Whilst in Whitkirk (recently), I met up with a lady that used to work at
Colton Primary school from 1954 to 1977, looking after the children during
playtime (monitor). It was really interesting talking about memories of this
school. She knew all the teachers & dinner ladies, esp from the time that I
was there 1960/62. Also, it was great to talk to someone who remembered the
Whitkirk area before it changed.

Hi. Anyone seen the old pictures in the newsagents shop on Selby Road, Whitkirk
? It was really interesting to see all the detail, and how it used to look.

Have been interested in reading the Whitkirk entries, I was from Cross Gates and
would like to know if a site exists for there? Would also like to get in touch
with any College of Commerce students from 1936-1940 and Edna Woolford from
Oakwood. I was exiled to Lancashire due to my work in 1948 and am still here !

I lived in Halton Moor and went to Osmondthorpe school I left school in 1959 and
my maiden name was Walton. If anyone remembers me, I would love to hear from
them. I now live in Canada.

Great to find this site from here in CT USA! I lived in Whitkirk 1944-1960 and
was active in church and Arts Guild, as was my family (see Murder in the
Vicarage '53). I recently regained contact with my old friend Noel Anderson in
NZ after his message (see below) It would be great if there was some way of
naming people in photos as it is difficult after 50 years! Also a pic of 34
Hollyshaw Lane where I lived. Good luck with this amazing site. Roger Dickinson.
Editor's Note - Roger can be found
in the Arts Guild
Database.

Hi there, I am a resident of Leeds but curently at Northumbria Uni studying
History and Sociology. For my dissertation I am studying the Leeds music scene
from the 1960's with particular reference to popular music. Having found it
difficult to locate many sources I was hoping somebody may be able to link me to
info of youth in Leeds during the 1960's or anything that may be of help?Thanks.
Will
