Bingley History - A Photographic Timeline Last month, My Community Hub presented a new feature........ a collage of photographs initially concentrating on the main town centre. These were 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 where what is now a car park on the right hand side of the road towards Keighley, has seen a number of changes in use particularly since 1913 Changes Smithy One of Bingley’s iconic buildings in the 18th and 19th Century’s was known as Longbottom’s Smithy, where at least four generations of the Longbottom family operated as blacksmiths at the site over a period of 250 plus years. Records from June 1864 show Robert and Lucy Longbottom and their family living at the premises, which they rented as a house and shed from the owner William Ferrand at a rateable value of £5.10 shillings. It is also

recorded that at a later date the smithy was rented from Mr Ferrand for £12 per year which was paid annually at the Brown Cow, Bingley where a free meal was provided.

Cinema then Woolworths In 1912 the smithy was demolished to make way for the first dedicated cinema in Bingley, the Hippodrome which opened in 1913. The cinema showed its last film forty years later in 1953 after which the building was converted for retail purposes to a Woolworths. After use as a file store, the building was eventually demolished in 1984. Nowadays the space is used as a main street car park.

The origins of Mother’s Day Mother’s Day: Historical Precursors Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.” Once a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church”— the main church in the vicinity of their home—for a special service. Over time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present their mothers with flowers and other tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1930s and 1940s. Mother’s Day: Early Incarnations The roots of the modern American Mother’s Day date back to the 19th century. In the years before the American Civil War (1861-65), Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs” to teach local women how to properly care for their children. In 1868 Jarvis organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” at which mothers gathered with former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote reconciliation. Another precursor to Mother’s Day came from the abolitionist 18

My Community HUB

Suffragette: Julia Ward Howe and suffragette Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. In 1873 Howe campaigned for a “Mother’s Peace Day” to be celebrated every June 2. Mother’s Day Proclamation This powerful Proclamation was made by Julia Ward Howe in the advocacy for the need of official celebration of Mother’s Day in Boston, United States of America in 1870. Miss Howe was the first person in US to recognize the need for Mother’s Day holiday. She was successful in raising awareness amongst the masses and pushing her plead to the upper echelons of power. Following this very potent Proclamation made in 1870, the Mothers’ Peace Day Observance was held on the second Sunday in June, 1872. Such observances

began to take place each year thereafter and paved the way for Mothers’ Day Holiday in US on the second Sunday of May. Though Ms Howe could not herself get the day recognized as the official holiday, she is revered for her significant contributions towards the celebration of the day and for bestowing honour on mothers. Julia Ward Howe is also famous as the writer of the Civil War song, ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’. Mothers’ Day Proclamation Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: “We will not have questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We women of one country will be too tender to those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.” From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own. It says “Disarm! Disarm!” The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonour, nor violence indicate possession. As men have forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let

them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his time the sacred impress not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace. Julia Ward Howe Boston 1870 Mother’s Day: Founding by Anna Jarvis The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Following her mother’s

1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honouring the sacrifices mothers made for their children. In May 1908 she organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia.

Anna Jarvis had originally conceived of Mother’s Day as a day of personal celebration between mothers and families. Her version of the day involved wearing a white carnation as a badge and visiting one’s mother or attending church services.

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.

“Goings On” at St Ives in later Victorian Times

Background - The Ferrands Change in Circumstances In 1854 and having inherited considerable wealth after the death of his mother in May of that year, William Busfeild Ferrand moved from his home at Harden Grange (thence known as The Grange) to the “new” St Ives. Ward (2002) in W B Ferrand “The Working Man’s Friend” 1809 -1889 records that Ferrands wife Fanny and her mother, played a great part in the planning of this.

“Squire” Ferrand Whilst he took an active part in national politics as an MP and in local affairs as a Magistrate, Ferrand was at his happiest in his role as a significant local landowner. His passion for the country pursuits of hunting, fishing and shooting became a major feature of his life, as was his stewardship of the land that he owned and cared for.

Auction of Effects at St Ives - Bradford Observer June 1854 “Auction at St Ives Near Bingley the residence of the late Mrs Ferrand. All the costly and valuable contents of the Mansion including horses, carriages, cattle, implements and effects in lots to be sold by The Executors on the 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th July”

Auction of Timber - Leeds Mercury- January 1859 “Upwards of 5000 feet of excellent and well seasoned OAK TIMBER peeled in the Spring of 1858, the whole of which was felled and is lying at St Ives Estate, near Bingley, will be sold at the White Horse, Bingley on the morning of January 29th 1859 The above timber is within a mile of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and Midland Railway Station at Bingley, with good roads, and is snigged up to places where it will be easily loaded upon wagons, carts etc.”

Game Lists - Huddersfield Chronicle - October 1857 “For the County of York” Persons who have obtained Game Certiﬁcates for the year 1857 - William Ferrand, St Ives, Bingley and William Ferrand junior, St Ives, Bingley.

Bingley and district football round-up By Steve Penny, of Keighley Kicks Bingley Midland Athletic will take on Sandy Lane on March 17 for a place in the Keighley FA Sunday Cup final after narrowly beating town rivals Bingley FC Young Boys. Wharfedale Triangle Premier Division Midland avoided a potential banana skin against their Division Two opponents at Marley to make progress, but had to work hard for victory. Scott Bellamy put the higher ranked team ahead but they were pulled back before half-time when Rob Haynes equalised for the league newcomers. It was left to Will Knight to grab a second-half winner for Midland. Keighley Town await Midland or Sandy Lane in the final, after beating Cullingworth Youth in their semi-final. One team already celebrating cup glory are Bingley Grammar School Under-19s. They saw off the best the district could offer to lift the Bradford Community League title. After finishing top of their qualifying group, the Bingley lads beat Carlton Bolling College 3-1 in the final. Goals from Charlie Thomas, Danny Marshall and Brad Davis put them in the clear before Bolling pulled back a late consolation strike.

Up for the cup: Goalmouth action as Bingley Midland Athletic push for a goal in their Keighley FA Sunday Cup quarter-final. Captain Tom Stordy made his mark, saving a penalty with the score at 2-1. And the youngsters received praise from a notable quarter with Football League referee Bobby Madley singing their praises. He said: “It was wonderful to referee a game with two hardworking teams all giving 100 per cent effort and without an ego in sight. “The respect shown towards myself and each other was a credit to both teams and their respective schools.” The West Riding County FA and Bradford Metropolitan

Crowd puller: people flocked to last year’s Makers Fair at the Saltaire Festival

Local voluntary organisation gains charitable status Voluntary organisation, Saltaire Inspired, is proud to announce that they have been given charitable status. Saltaire Inspired provides activities and services to local communities by arranging arts led events such as the successful Saltaire Arts Trail, Living Advent Calendar and also providing the Makers Fair at the Saltaire Festival.

My Community HUB

The organisation received formal confirmation from the Charity Commission and reflects on its continuing commitment to advance the education of the public in the Arts. Arrangements are well underway for this year’s Arts Trail which takes place on 25th-27th May, and it is hoped that this formal recognition of Saltaire Inspired and the Arts Trail as a charity will assist when securing funding through grants and sponsorship, on which they are continually dependent. The organisation would be delighted to talk to any businesses who would like to become involved in helping to advance and develop its activities. “This change in status is a major step forward in the development of Saltaire Inspired and will help us to achieve our aims for

the future,” commented Phil Lawler, Chairman of Saltaire Inspired. “We have ambitious plans to grow our organisation and our community activities, and this is a foundation stone for making that happen,” he went on to say. They can be contacted by email at hello@saltaireartstrail.co.uk

Record Club regular, Andy, will be curating a ‘Black’ theme for us in March. He’s almost chosen three albums, but can’t decide on Black flag - Damaged (1981) or Depeche mode - Black celebration (1986) so we might get one side of each. He also promises (if time) to play something from the “Blackest ever black” record label. So bring all your favourite singles to play in between ... everything from Cilla Black, Soundgarden, Ram Jam... maybe even Black lace! Anything with the word Black in the name, title, song or label.
