Bit of random trivia... before the bodies were removed from the vaults, the Medical Officer made sure everyone had extra vaccinations as there was concern that the lead coffins might have sealed in viruses such as smallpox, etc...
Huddersfield Exposed@HuddExposed

Random question of the day... over 80 bodies were in the vaults of the Queen Street Mission (now @thelbt). They were removed in 1970 and likely cremated and interred elsewhere, but doesn't anyone know where? An Examiner article from 1998 gives no clues...

Timothy and Betsy Bentley gifted money to help build the Queen Street chapel (now the LBT), which was reportedly the largest Wesleyan chapel in the country at the time, and it became known as "the chapel built on beer barrels".

And a small feature from 2 October 1979 marking the future society's first year. 45 years later @HuddsLocalHist is going from strength to strength and Cyril's still the chair! Well worth becoming a member if you're interested in local history :-) huddersfieldhistory.org.uk

A productive morning tracking down all 15 items from the "From an Artist's Sketchbook" series of pen & ink drawings by Noël Spencer that appeared in the Examiner in 1947. huddersfield.exposed/archive/search/

I promise that they will all get scanned eventually, but a couple more issues of "Old West Riding" are now available online. A huge thank you to editors Cyril, Jennifer and Ann-marie (on behalf of her late husband George) for supporting the digitisation! huddersfield.exposed/p/14fb
