Hi,

I hope you don't mind me getting in contact! I work for the TV production company Amazing Productions. The owners of Whitegates are renovating the house for the tv show Old House, New Home and there is a section where we look into the history of the house and area. I wondered whether you knew anything about the history of Slipper Lane or 67 in particular? I would be so grateful! Thanks, Liberty

Does anybody know where Walkers Place or Walker Place (Batteyford Ward) used to be? I’m researching my grandfather, Frank Ambler and he used to live there in the 1930’s but I can’t find any reference to it. Thanks for your help.

I am wanting to scratch build one using scalescenes artwork and any clue to its design would be greatly appreciated. If this prioject goes well I would like to tackle the engine shed itself next.

Does anyone have any information about the Old Tan House in Knowle Lane, shown on the 1855 OS map of Mirfield? An ancestor of mine, Elizabeth Peacock, was living there at the time of the 1841 Census. When was the Old Tan House demolished? Any surviving photos or documentation?
