school terrace, crigglestone, wakefield

[vnicholson]

hi there, does anyone know where this is or was, I live locally and cant find this address on any maps or any info if I just google it. It may have been on the high st or in newmillerdam as the address is connected to a person who lived in those areas too and both of them have old schools (now converted). any help much appreciated as ever

b.t.w also trying to locate 'beechcroft' on standbridge lane, kettlethorpe, wakefield, may have been renamed or demolished as once again I cant find it or any reference to it, anyone remember it?

thanks

Can you give some idea of a timescale please

[vnicholson]

Put

'Crigglestone nursery school' in google search

click on the map

Ignore the the Red A on the maps

Find the bus stops in Satellite close view in High st (Right of the red A )

Go to street view by draging the yellow man over the bus stops
and use the wheel on your mouse  by fingering the wheel forward to go into street view

On street view see the school, to the right of the school is a row of 6 White-ish terrace houses

That is school terrace row (Row of terrace houses), High street Criddlestone

There is a Beachcroft off School lane in Walton nor far from Milnthorpe

hi there, thanks so much for that, I couldnt find schhol terreace at all so well done! Ive looked at it on google maps and know exactly where it is - Im going to nip out and take a quick pic for my research. As for 'beechcroft' I know its not in walton as the will states that it is/was on standbridge lane, kettlethorpe, wakefield - its probably not called that any more if it still exists so I may have to ditch trying to find that. thanks again for your help its much appreciated

I would ask at a local old folks home in Crigglestone!, someone will know summat

I don't know if Beechcroft still exists but it was my maternal grandparents' home. My grandfather, James Inman, was a coal merchant who died in 1939 I think, just before my parents were married. My grandmother died when I was about four, probably 1951, and the house was sold after that. We do have photos taken outside the house. I am curious as to why you want to know about it - might we be related?

[jomarch]

Oops - my grandfather's name was actually Harry Inman, not James, and my grandmother was Mary. Harry was the son of Martha Jagger of Crigglestone and Seth Inman of Swillington.  Beechcroft was their house until they both had died by the early 1950s.

Hi there, sorry its been so long for me to reply, I had a baby 14 months ago and dont get much time to do my research now...........anyway I am distantly related through my father to the Inman family (my great grandmother was Rhoda Inman) I've been researching the branches local to me as I live in Hall Green, Wakefield and in particular Fred, Harry, Seth, Ezra etc and their connections to The Station Pub at Great Cliff and The British Oak on Denby Dale Road (where i met my husband purely coincidentally!) I would love any pictures you have of the house to put in my ancestry file and also to go and have a look and see if the house is still there/identifiable from the picture. Many thanks
