Just beyond the farm on the left of the lane, the low buildings were used by the Bristol Aircraft Company as an engine test facility during the war. It was later bought by a firm known as Austin Hayes and Co. who specialised in reconditioning army surplus goods e.g.Tin hats, ammunition boxes, metal Howitzer shell containers and in later years portable Rocket Launchers.
As a kid in the fifties this place was known to us as the ‘Tin Hat’ factory, we thought it was marvellous.
I was employed there in 1968 when the freak storm came over from Bradford and flooded Yeadon with hailstones as big as glass marbles which quite literally stoned the birds right out of the trees and sent storm drain covers three feet high on pillars of flood water.

During the second world war I served in the Home Guard and used to go on watch at a hut at the crossroads between Carlton Lane and Warren House Lane, guarding an entrance to the AVRO Works and Yeadon aerodrome which later became the Leeds and Bradford Airport.
