You can see the Burial Ground marked on this map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/419169/430141/12/100392 Apparently became  Holme Lane Congregational Church https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/419169/430141/13/100951

Thank you Stan

I missed your post with the map links (one I can't open), but can see the other showing the Chapel on Tong Street.

Hope you enjoy the newspaper quotes.

Hello All,

This thread has been very interesting to me.   I have been looking for my Gt. Grandmother's burial in 1886, totally unsuccessfully, as on other posts. 

One question:  Are the records mentioned for  these Congregational Chapels easy to access from thousands of miles on the other side of the world. 

I need try to get to these records.   

Thanks for any guidance here and hope that the OP has some success here as well.
Regards
Essnell

A late reply, but I've just been in conversation with Bradford Local History Library, and they say they have the monumental inscriptions for this church.

I presume that would act as a partial map, if your looking for family buried here.

Is anyone local enough to see if it's accessible, I saw the previous post, but miracles do sometimes happen

What thing are you referring to?
The MIs or the burial ground?

To see if the burial ground is accessible.

Hi davidwgrobinson and pauline,

I have looked over the site throughly on GoogleMaps, some time ago.

  Now from the road it is not visible as there is a row of tall thick trees growing along the streetline behind a fence which needs a bit of care.  Down the lane beside this piece you can see in quite easily but it is quite overgrown. The fence there is not all that high. There appears to be no ready access.
You can see a few of the taller monuments. I used street view in google and the satelite images. 

If Bradford Local History have those inscriptions or a map of the burials that might for me prove interesting.  I shall try contacting them.  Unfortunately it has been neglected for how long ..? 

The local council might be able to provide access or give permission to access - worth asking.

I also saw something on a site where someone has taken photos.  Cannot remember where though.

Hope my bit helps someone.

It does help thanks,

 I know someone who might no more about the photo's.  my thoughts are if some of the memorials are viewable, even through brambles, then it's easier to track them from inscriptions.

 I will also contact the parish council / local council ('i'll have to look it up)

 if anyone goes could they pm me and let me know the results, I'll post back here after I've been, but that will probably be easter holidays.

Possibly the ones I linked to, much earlier in this thread:

This place looks fascinating and I wonder how it has survived, who owns it, etc.
