Hello and welcome to our Spring Issue I say “Spring” ... more like Winter. My kids think its Christmas again with all the snow blizzards we’ve had recently, and are hoping Santa will turn up again! Hopefully, when you are reading this, it will be nice and warm, with the daffs and tulips blossoming in your gardens. We have introduced a new feature to our magazine and will continue with this over the next few months. We are proud to be supporting our Local Independent Retailers, and we want the public to know all about them. They are not just a nameless, faceless person at the other side of the counter; these people are your neighbours, your friends and perhaps your family. All following their dreams of working for themselves and building a future. We ﬁ nd out who they are, what their aspirations are, and what they love most about being in business for themselves. Hopefully this will raise the proﬁ le of these unique shops, or little gems as we like to call them. Most consumers are thinking more about how much they spend, and a high percentage of those people go to the big supermarkets, and spend all their hard earned cash on food, drink, cards, clothes, electrical goods, you name it they’ve got it! Even holidays these days..... All we are trying to do, is make you think harder about where you spend your money. Lets help Bingley grow as a town. A town that has many tourists visiting some of our fantastic locations, such as St Ives and Goit Stock, and we also have the Five Rise Locks on our doorstep. So lets all try and make a difference to the community in which we live - and help these businesses stay alive !! That’s it for now - until next month ! Kimberley

Bingley History - A Photographic Timeline In previous editions of MyCommunityHub we have presented a collage of photographs of Main Street. These are intended to capture the changes (or not) which have taken place to some notable landmarks (past and present) in Bingley over the last 120 or so years. This month shows the development of one section of Main Street from the Fleece Hotel looking down towards the Old White Horse, Old Main Street, the Parish Church and Keighley Road Changes The Strand The Fleece (also at one time an Excise Ofﬁ ce) stands at the bottom of Main Street in an area once known as The Strand. The Strand Stores (102 Main Street) owned by Thomas Hemmant was one of the most popular groceries in the area particularly for its selection of cheeses and Bingley Blend Tea.. Millgate Millgate, and the junction leading over Ireland Bridge towards Harden was previously signposted as the Halifax - Haworth Road and was a Turnpike Road during the 1800’s. Elizabeth Downsbrough in her book Bingley’s Historic Pubs (2011) records that when a suggestion about the widening of the road leading to Ireland Bridge was made to the Bingley Improvement Commissioners, comment

1895 Bottom end Bingley Main Street

was made that “the road could easily be widened if Mr Ferrand could only pull down the White Horse Inn, which would be no loss to the town”. Luckily for generations of pub- goers since, this idea was not adopted! Old Main Street The Improvement Commissioners in proposing widening of Main Street in the 1880’s had to however take account of the dangerous state of Old Main Street. The Keighley News of 3rd September 1904 reported: Continued on page 12

“ Because of building the new road with a length of 270 yards and a width of 30 yards and being perfectly straight, all the dangers of the old road with its dangerous curve past the Church are avoided” The New Road The building of the new road (which took nearly two years), was however not without its problems... both physical and ﬁ nancial. The new route of the road required the removal of nearly 2500 bodies from the church graveyard which necessitated the passing of a Local Act in 1901 to enable this to happen. Additionally the eventual cost to Bingley Urban District Council was nearly £14000, more than half of which was needed to buy or demolish properties on Old Main Street and to purchase a portion of the graveyard. The new road opened in 1904.

A fascinating history book by My Community Hub writer Alan Cattell Alan Cattell’s local history book Bingley and Surrounds Forgotten Moments from History has received good reviews locally for its readability and informative style of writing. Part of Alan’s reason for writing the book was to bring history out of the archives and into the living room of those interested in local history. The other reason was to be able to donate

some of the researched content and proceeds to local archives. To date Shipley College, Saltaire Archives have received a donation to set up a Japanese Gardens archive. Several local primary schools have also been given copies of the book to use as teaching resources. Alan thanks all those who have bought the book to date for their support in enabling this to happen.

Reserve ramblings

What to look for in April down on the reserve By Steve Warrillow Denso Marston Nature warden As April comes, spring is here and snow! Now will be the time to look for summer migrants, which have ﬂ own from Africa. Down on the reserve I have been looking for our ﬁ rst of the summer migrants. The Chiffchaff this warbler is like most of our warblers drab compared with some of the other warblers seen elsewhere in the world. But the mono tone call of chiffchaff- chiff-chiffchaff raises the heart as this heralds the start of spring. Our chiffchaff normally turns up to and around the 17th March so far no sign due to the snow we encountered at the end of March. How do you know you have a chiffchaff in your garden? Easy listen for the song then look for the bird, the bird itself is small and the upper parts of the bird are olive brown the underside (belly) is white-ish. The Chiffchaff has a fairly distinguishable eyebrow (eye stripe). The legs are black as is the beak. It has short wings but

Warbler: the Chiffchaff 16

My Community HUB

Common: the Willow Warbler to put the spanner in the works you have to be careful when seeing a none singing chiffchaff. If you come across a similar looking bird but are yellowish and with brownish looking legs you may have found a willow warbler its song is ﬂ uty and appears to go down the scales. The willow warbler as longer wings than the chiffchaff. Both are very common throughout the UK. If any of these birds arrived at the back end of March they will have had a shock with all the snow. Both these birds are migrants so will be leaving our shores in autumn. With the weather conditions that we have had this may put the nesting season back so

putting more pressure on the birds to raise a brood faster than normally would be done. At this time of year you should also look out for ladybirds and later in the month if it warms up the ﬁ rst damselﬂ ies of the year. These we will be looking at next month. Meanwhile why not come down to the reserve and see if you can spot the chiffchaff or the willow warbler. If you want more information about the reserve please contact me on 07919525913 or email me on my new email: divingbeetlewarrillow@gmail. com

Top tips for April • You may still need to protect your bedding plants from late frosts, fleeces available in store. • Plant tender bedding plants towards the end of the month. • Protect your plants from slugs and snails, we stock a range of organic or chemical deterrents. • Grow your own! Visit our Edible Garden to get you started with growing your own – you don’t need a big plot to get started.

Time to give your wood a treat When it is warm enough treat sheds, fences and trellis with wood preservatives. Whilst brushes and rollers are fine a sprayer is worth buying for woven panels. Check your garden furniture for any rot.

Gwen’s story Hello, Remember me? I’m Gwen and in the last edition of Community Hub I told you all about the way Yorkshire Cat Rescue saved the lives of me and my two little babies last summer. This month I am going to tell you about Cat Whispering, and how going through the process at YCR turned me from a frightened feral to a lazy lap cat. Yorkshire Cat Rescue don’t put many cats through their Cat Whispering process as it is very time intensive and for a short period of time means that the cat has to be contained in a very small area. That’s fi ne for kittens - and they tame up quite quickly - but for adults it takes much longer. In my case, the original plan was for me to be neutered and then go and live on a stables or farm, but whilst I was raising my kittens, the volunteers and staff at YCR began to interact with me and I got used to having people around. So, I was taken into a house and put into a big cage where I had a covered bed, and where I could feel safe. I cowered at fi rst but gradually I came to realise that all the strange sounds I could hear were not going to hurt me, and I even enjoyed watching the drum turning in the washing machine. Whilst I was getting used to being indoors, the volunteers and staff used their eyes to tell me that they were safe. They didn’t stare, they blinked slowly and they didn’t look directly at me. In cat language, eyes are very important - we use them to make our feelings known - fear, intimidation, safety - by staring or blinking. By slow-blinking at me, the staff and volunteers told me they were safe and I slowblinked back at them to tell them I too was safe and not scared of them. The next step was for me to get used to “hands”. Hands are pretty scary things at fi rst but the staff and volunteers used their hands to give me special cat treats, and quite soon I began to realise that hands could be nice things. After a few days of lovely treats, I found myself looking forward to hands, and I began to sniff them and then dared myself to rub my 20

My Community HUB

chin against the hands. It felt good and the hands gently tickled me as I rubbed, which was lovely. Once I’d got to know hands, hands decided to get to know me, and began to stroke me behind my ears and on my head. I knew it was safe because the eyes which belonged to the hands’ body were still doing lots of slow blinking at me. The fi nal stage of my rehabilitation was for me to move into the offi ce, where I could fi nd lots of hidey places but could also integrate with the staff. At fi rst they ignored me, not meeting my eyes at all, but after a few days I got fed up of this and started to play and to approach people. That’s when it got to be really nice as I got lots of strokes, treats and fun games of ball and chase. It took me a lot of courage, and a lot of hard work on the part of the volunteers and staff, but it was worth it in the end. I am now so happy in my new home, I lie on my back - something that cats only do when they feel really really safe something that I wouldn’t ever have considered before I went through the cat whispering programme.

Goings on at St Ives Is intended as an occasional feature in My Community Hub in which our local historian Alan Cattell captures some of the local news stories of the period. These show and give examples through newspaper snippets and book reports of the kind of activities which the St Ives Estate and William Ferrand were involved in.

Pack of Hounds at St Ives - 1859 (from Ward (2002) W B Ferrand the Working Mans’s Friend 1809 - 1889) In 1857 William Ferrand, always interested in country activity, purchased and started his own pack of hounds for St Ives, his estate. The pack met for the ﬁ rst time in 1859 at Harden. Ward (2002) records that in 1859 Ferrand paid tax on a butler, a footman, a groom, two keepers, two gardeners, two carriages, a pony carriage, a cab, 36 hounds, two setters, two springers a pointer, three saddle horses and his armorial bearings. Like many who started their own pack, Ferrand possibly found the upkeep of the pack too expensive. Consequently he gave up hunting on his own account but was a regular participant in the Bramham and Belvoir hunts.

© Copyright Humphrey Bolton Excursion to St Ives - August 6th 1870 “The committee of the Saturday Early Closing in Factories and 1500 workpeople and their friends had an excursion to St Ives, Bingley, the residence of Mr W Ferrand on Saturday last. Mr Ferrand met the visitors between the lodge and the mansion and conducted them to the front of the mansion and through the gardens and pleasure grounds into the open park.”

Lord John Manners, MP, visits St Ives- 21st August 1874 Dancing to the music of a “On Saturday, a large number brass band helped while away of members of the Bradford the time, whilst others rambled Conservative Association in the beautifully wooded accompanied by friends visited park and amongst the wellSt Ives, Bingley, the seat of kept grounds nearer the Mr B Ferrand. The park and residence.

Interesting to Anglers - May 1885 “A case of considerable interest to anglers was heard at Keighley County Court yesterday when the Bingley Local Board were sued by Mr William Ferrand of St Ives, Bingley for £50 damages for the pollution of Harden Beck, a trout stream known to many Yorkshire anglers. It was alleged that the defendants turned a quantity of sewerage on adjacent land for irrigation, but that a great deal of sewerage found its way into the stream and rendered the beck worthless for trout breeding”

Meet your Independent... Our new feature in the hub, will be focusing on our local independent retailers; shop owners, sole traders, business owners, who have worked hard at setting up their own business to follow their dreams ....... and are still here even though we are still in a recession. We are trying to promote our Keep it Local campaign, to encourage local folk to shop locally, use the local businesses that are on our doorstep. If each person in Bingley spent £10 per week in a local shop, we can all put approx. £10.4 million back into our community. My first Independent business is a local Chemist, run by 3 University friends, who all live locally.

Harden Pharmacy based in the village of Harden, just on the outskirts of Bingley, is coowned by three friends, Adnaan, Shahbab and Qaiser. All born and bred in Bradford, they met at Bradford University whilst studying their Pharmacy Degrees. When they finished their degrees, they went their separate ways, working for some of the larger Pharmacies in the country, but all with the same dream of opening up their own someday, in Bradford. The eventually got their heads together and decided to do it. They did some research and found that there was a potential to have a pharmacy in Harden. After many meetings, they forwarded their case to the NHS, and it was approved. In 2009 Adnaan, Shahbab and Qaiser opened their first pharmacy in the Post Office building. This was the first of many steps to fulfill their dream, something they had worked very hard for. When I met Adnaan, I asked him why Harden, he said “Harden is a lovely village, with two doctors surgeries in the neighbouring villages, and two pharmacies, which belong to a large chain. We felt that Harden was perfect for a small independent pharmacy and there was a gap in the market”. By 2010, they were excited to find out that a building across the road became available. And so began the next step in their dream building. Within a few weeks, Harden Pharmacy had taken a prime spot in the village, serving the residents of Harden and beyond. The team are a friendly bunch, employing Carol Hudson, who is their Dispenser, who also lives in the village. Bernard is their driver,

and you will usually see him darting around in the Harden Pharmacy Smart Car collecting prescriptions and delivering medication to their customers. Harden Pharmacy are also known for taking in students from the university on placements / work experience. The team are aware of local events that take place and help to raise funds where they can, they support many charities including Cancer Support - Bradford and Airedale, and like to give back to the community where they can. Adnaan said “It’s important for us that people come into the Pharmacy and support their local independents. We have a good range of products on offer, from head care ranges, skin care, health and beauty, as well as a large selection of medications. We also have a selection of children’s bath time favourites, as well as some nice gifts for him/her. “We have a selection of products for £1 including kids shampoo’s, conditioners, bubble baths, and detangling spray! As well as our Sale shelves, where you will find all sorts of discounted stock.” We would welcome our customers and the residents of Harden, Wilsden and Cullingworth (or those passing through from other areas) to pop in and say hello to us.

It’s a Dogs Life! Louise Helstrip from Cullingworth lives, breathes and sleeps DOGS !! Well, that’s what she told me when I went to visit her and her lovely Rottweiler Pup Rosie. Having set up her business “Dogs with Style” in September 2012. Louise wanted to follow her dream working with animals. Louise previously worked as a Veterinary Auxillary Nurse and is also qualifi ed in Animal Management. Louise decided to launch her own range of pet food “Pure and Simple”, after she saw the benefi ts of feeding her pets a hypo-allergenic food. Pure and Simple products are all hypo-allergenic, gluten and wheat free. They contain no artifi cial preservatives or additives and has no cheap cereal fi ller in which makes it easier for the dog to digest. It also reduces the risk of aggravating a sensitive digestion and helps with itchy skin and allergies. The range of foods available from Louise are as follows: Hypo-allergenic Super Premium Pet Food Available in 2.5kg or 12kg bags Premium Working Dog (Wheat and Gluten Free) Available in 15kg bags Platinum Naturals (Wheat and Gluten Free) for sensitive tummies Available in 2kg and 15kg bags Super Premium Cat and Kitten Food Available in 400g or 2kg bags All foods are available in a variety of tasty fl avours. 26

Testimonials from local dog lovers “Since changing my dogs onto Pure and Simple, their behaviour has noticeably improved. They adapted well from James Wellbeloved, and it is full of protein rather than bulked out with carbohydrates. Saff, my German Shepherd loves the premium range with Salmon and Potato, whilst Roxy and Maude have the Light, as they need to lose a few pounds. The range is wheat and gluten free, and hypo allergenic”. Sonia Burrows “Collected food from Dogs With Style today. Normally the cats turn their noses up but they’ve both tucked in and the dogs said more please Mummy, No really they did !!!” Emma Wood Louise also offers Dog Walking, Pet Sitting and Dog Boarding services. For more information on the Pure & Simple range, or any of the other services Louise offers, please visit the website at www.dogs-withstyle.co.uk, where you will ﬁ nd all you need to know about the services she offers, along with pricing and delivery information.

Does your Dog need space? Does your doggie need space? Is he in training, recovering from an operation, been rehabilitated, a bit nervous or unwell? By wearing a yellow ribbon on your doggies lead or a yellow bandana round his neck, you are showing other dog owners that your dog needs some space. So what is the Yellow Dog Project? The Yellow Dog Project was created to bring awareness to dogs who need space while training, recovering from surgery, or being rehabilitated. How does it work? If you see a dog with a YELLOW ribbon, bandanna or similar on the leash or on the dog, this is a dog which needs some space. Please, do not approach this dog or its people with your dog. They are indicating that their dog cannot be close to other dogs. How close is too close? Only the dog or his people know, so maintain distance and give them time to move out of your way. Why might a dog need space? There are many reasons why a dog may need space: • Maybe it has health issues • It may be a rescue dog being rehabilitated. The world can be a very scary place for these dogs. • It may have had a bad experience with another dog or is just not like the kind of friendly dogs which always want to say “Hi!” • A bitch may be in heat • The dog may be in training • It may be very old and arthritic • It may be very nervous or shy and other dogs cause it stress There are many ways in which you can support this cause, and get involved. By visiting our website, you are able to order bandana’s, ribbons, posters, ﬂ yers etc. to help promote this in your area. Continued opposite 28

History behind Yellow Dog UK Yellow Dog UK was started in November 2012 as part of the international Gulahund Yellow Dog Campaign which was originally launched in Sweden. Yellow Dog UK became the UK Ambassadors for this and launched the website and facebook pages around the same time as Discover Dogs at Earls Court in November 2012. The response and feedback was amazing. They now have 8000 people who have liked their page on facebook and they sell ribbons, bandanas, dog vests, and promotional materials as well as running a sponsorship progamme. The Yellow Dog UK Campaign is sweeping the nation and is a very simple idea to give some dogs the space they need. The campaign is internationally running and now covers around 20 countries. If you would like to ﬁnd out more information about the Yellow Dog Project, order a bandana or ribbon for your dog, or make a donation, please visit www.yellowdoguk.co.uk
