My Dad bought Rex from a market stall in Bradford market and brought him home on the bus.

On this fateful day I put Olly in his box to go over to the fields for a bit of exercise.

I think it was early one Saturday or Sunday morning when the police turned up.

He has been really quiet, hasn’t been eating normally and definitely not allowing me to pick him up.

I knew that most owls were nocturnal, but I had to be careful.

I was probably about 11 years old when I found Olly, which would make it around 1958.

Nearly 10,000 people swarmed into the White Cross district of Guiseley tonight for Harry Ramsdens “Big Fry” .

After the war when the Avro shut down and everyone was laid off, many Yeadon folk suddenly found themselves out of work.

Here is a picture of John Smith and I reading the Wharfedale & Airedale Observer.
