Pity poor Bradford. I can well remember the magnificent architecture of the Unitarian Chapel. It was right beside the place where I used to catch the trolleybus home from the city centre.
My father was involved in the council's overseeing of the exhumation of the bodies buried in the graveyard of this church. He was still a student public health inspector at that time but has mentioned the event many times over the years.
@@BradfordThroughTheLens Sadly in 2021 my father suffered a stroke & is now in residential care due to having being diagnosed with vascular dementia. Due to this he’s now unable to speak. However, I’ve spoken to my mother & she’s confirmed that two of fellow student health inspectors who were involved with the reinterment of the bodies are still alive; & both of whom worked with my father during their careers in the Environmental Health Department at Bradford Council. My mother is almost certain that from past conversations with my father, that the bodies were indeed reinterred at Bowling. She’s going to contact my father’s former colleagues to confirm this.
I remember the church being demolished as kid. Another fascinating video, many thanks and keep up the sterling work! Ps: could l suggest a video about the history of Eastbrook Hall?
Eastbrook Hall was used as a school for a short time by Fox's school of Commerce which was originally at Morley Street until an explosion in the adjoining garage damaged the building. The school was temporarily rehoused at Eastbrook Hall
@foxfootfemale Yes, it was on the corner of Claremont and Morley Street.. The garage which was adjacent was on Morley Street but is no longer there. I think it's had some shops built on the site. It would have been about 40 years ago, there and thereabouts. Who was your dad?
Bradford Council in the 1960s has much to answer for, they destroyed swathes of the city. Anyway, that aside you never mentioned the ornate street lamp in the Horsforth garden next to the gate. Was or is that connected to Bradford ?

Brilliant well done ❤
Thank you.
Very interesting, Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it

Any ideas where?
Thank you .

@@davidanderson1639 I am sorry to hear about your father.
It will be fascinating to know where they were re-interred. We are all students of history 😀
@@BradfordThroughTheLens Thank you. I think my mum is also keen to find out more about what happened to the bodies.
@davidanderson1639
Sorry to hear your loss.
I am guessing it was Brian Anderson.
Just read the T&A.
Great servant to this City.

Thank you for watching and sharing.
Definitely, it's on our list to do.
It's iconic.

@@MrVideowill Thank you
@@MrVideowill where exactly was it on morley st, was it the end of Claremont? when did it get damaged? My dad went there at one point

Hi... only the gateway had belonged to Bradford. The owner has a lot of relics from around the country in her garden.
Nothing has changed its a dump now it's all take aways
Thank u ❤😊
So that could be a Howley Hall doorway, used in a chapel and taken to Rawdon? Quite a journey
❤😊
Loved that
I often wondered what happened to the original gas lamps outside city hall. Someone must know where they ended up
😀
When the bodies were exhumed, they were sat around the new shopping centre to make it look busy...
😄
Was the destruction of the chapel one of wardleys 'progressive' ideas?
