Hello Laura,

As you have now found 'Menston' as most people knew it, was High Royds, one of the three ? mental hospitals for West Yorks.


You may be interested in the site which provides much background information. The hospital and grounds have now been redeveloped for housing.

You may know that the barracks were not actually in Bradford, but in Pudsey at the corner of Woodhall Lane and Leeds Road.

Pudsey Library USED to have a good reference section when it was under the West Riding. Maybe there are some archives which have found their way to Wakefield (the old headquarters of the West Riding Library Service ?)

It would appear that Hardaker s had a strong presence in West Yorkshire, namely Rawdon, Guiseley, Yeadon etc.
