MURT'S MOTOR CENTRE 01422 844 171
A garage and tyre dealer called Murts Motor Centre. This started life before the war as a haulage business run by the Hursts who lived in Wood Villas. After the second world war it was called the Monteith Garage. Steve Murty describes mainly repairing vehicles built in the 1930s and 40s. Tyre regulations were non existent and bald tyres only discarded when they wore through the inner tubes.
In the 60s the garage got involved in building (mainly in the evenings and weekends!) and racing motorbikes. This led to Steve becoming the European sprint champion in 1972.
Murts is perhaps most famous as the home of the Ultimate Motor Stunts team who use large trucks to do wheelies at 100 mph - stunts that set a British landspeed record and put Steve Murty in the Guinness Book of Records (a video of the best stunts is sold at the garage).
The garage and tyre business continues.

The view from your bus stop is one you look at often! Whether you stand looking continously for the bus to appear, or glance occationally from whatever else your doing in hope that it is in sight, you see that view a lot - but do you photograph it?

Opposite Beverley is a red brick building with a flat roof which used to be called Sandbed House. This was built in about 1890 by Tommy Jackson who had a theory that flat roofs were more practical than pitched roofs. Tommy and his father John were engineers and operated in an attached machine works called the smithy. John went around Yorkshire (in a top hat and morning suit) repairing the newly introduced farm machinery, while Thomas maintained machinery in local mills. Tommy Jackson retired by 1916 to look after his ageing father. He cycled every week to Eastwood Co-op wearing an old jacket and ancient cycling hat.
Sandbed House was left to Betty Cockroft in 1935 and she rented it to Richard Houghton for a few years before it was sold. It was later used as a garage run by Maurice Marney. Maurice was famous for his large collection of budgerigars which were kept in cages out the back.
Just after the Second World War it was taken over by CVS - an Upper valley institution. CVS which stands for Calder Valley Salvage was started by three disabled servicemen (George Crowther and Jim Weeble). They bought a rag bag of items from Ministry sales, so you never knew what to expect. If you wanted something, but couldn't think who would sell it, CVS was always a first port of call.
CVS turned into a builders merchants, but a fire in the 1980s destroyed most of the building. The building is now occupied by Ecoheat.

THE TURNPIKE
A rough track between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge was used in use during the first half of the 18th Century. At a trial in 1738 at Halifax Sessions twenty three landowners along the route were found to be liable to repair the track as a horse way. The track was in a poor state of repair and was never kept up by the land owners or the townships.
In 1760 Parliament passed an act establishing the Todmorden Turnpike Trust with the aim of "diverting, altering, widening, repairing and amending the roads from todmorden to Halifax, Burnley and Littleborough". The stretch of road through Charlestown was overseen by a surveyor called George Bolland. Work started in november 1760 with marking and staking of the route.
we have some information about the construction and improvement
In march 1763 Abraham Gibson of Bridge royd, Eastwood was paid three guineas for building a bridge over Ingham Clough at Bridgeroyd
In 1763 the first toll house was built at Charlestown (location unknown)
In May 1768 Thomas Kershaw who could not read or write was paid thirteen guineas for a bridge over Blackshaw Clough (now known as Jumble Hole Clough). The bridge was known as Mutterhole Bridge. The specification was very detailed and he was paid extra on completion.
In 1770 Henry Cockroft was paid £5-11s-11d for land in Cockden Lane (Halifax road) Eastwood for widening.
In 1830 Mutterhole bridge was widened and finally rebuilt in the 1900s.
In 1830 John Eastwood was paid £1-7s-0d for land to widen the road between Myrtle grove Chapel, Eastwood and Woodmill.
In 1831 the road was widened and lowered between Stoodley Bridge and Beaton.
Vehicles were finding the going difficult today - not helped by selfish drivers putting themselves, and others, at risk!
Both buses were Not In Service! Though there are a lot of them passing through Queensbury these days - and there's no Bus Garage up here!

I once posed the question 'Where do people think all the space for City Centre Developments came from'? Time to answer it!
If your pro-city centre parks, space wasting shopping units (mostly the size of small villages when in number), boulevards and plazas, wider streets, and even more of the same to create jobs, then don't complain!
You know that park, that field infront of your house, that quiet town will lots of space for kids to play - those parks, fields and spaces ARE the City Centre Parks, the Shopping Centres and wider streets and squares! Not to mention that the people who come to do the jobs (providing a 1000 jobs in an area, does not mean 1000 locals will get them) will need somewhere to live! Remember that the City of Bradford hasn't gotten any bigger, yet people encourage them to waste space constantly! As things stand it is very much for or against the City Centre - and and the Pro-group will know, that's where everyone should be any way - so unlikely that they would complain if a tower block was built in front of their house (they shouldn't be home much)!
Towns around Bradford should all have their own Green Belt to stop them being swallowed and the City Centre should take its share of new homes (several hundred by this point)!
Bradford is a very self-centred place!
Queensbury.
A view along Sandbeds, well half of it. You can see Station Road on the left (the much photographed Queensbury Tunnel is that way), and the old road to Shelf on the right. Further up on the right is the Half Way House, and the Handyman DIY store, photos of which can be seen on both Lant_70's and Tim Green aka Atoach's photostreams.

Press photograph of Doris Whitcombe, landlady of the Airedale Heifer public house, and her son Frank Whitcombe Jnr taken on 8th September 1981. Doris was retiring after nearly thirty years as the licensee. The pub, on Bradford Road in Sandbeds, is named after the famous Airedale Heifer cow of the early 1800s, which resided at the nearby East Riddlesden Hall, and is still on record as the heaviest cow in the UK. The ringing of the changes was covered in the Keighley News of 11th September 1981.
In July 2021, Keighley and District Local History Society acquired an extensive collection of photograph negatives taken by the Keighley News. Groups of negatives were held in small wallets with the date and basic labelling written on the wallet. This image is developed from one of those negatives. The image was processed by Tim Neal in August 2021.

This is my Pearly Jawfish in his hidey-hole. These guys are probably my favorite fish, hands down. They make little burrows in sand flats and decorate the openings with coral rubble and shell fragments. At night they even lock themselves in with a pebble "door" and go to sleep. In the morning they re-sort their collection and start all over. They're just so interesting to observe, I almost want to get another one just to see them interact. They'll actually steal from one another when the other isn't looking. ;)
I kept jawfish years ago and I've been dying to get another one ever since my fiance set up his new tank. I've had this one for about four months now, and he seems to be doing great. He was really small when we first got him, so he's adjusted very well to tank life and we hope to have him for years to come. The sandbed is deep, but he was having trouble clearing out a den on his own, so I decided to help him out by giving him a sawed-off section of pvc pipe - which he took to immediately and hasn't wanted to relocate yet.
Jawfish are a little skittish in general and typically like to stay near their dens, but he's in with other, calm fish (a Tanaka's Wrasse, Tailspot Blenny, Ocellaris Clownfish, and Purple Firefish) so he's usually out and about during the day and hanging out with them. He' also a pig when it comes to food, and will even eat directly from my hand. He's never seen a camera before, so I don't think he knows exactly what to make of it, lol.
It might sometimes appear that nothing happens here, but as can be seen, someone does work there! :-)

The Cartwheel Galaxy (also known as ESO 350-40 or PGC 2248) is a lenticular galaxy and ring galaxy about 500 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. It is a D25 isophotal diameter of 44.23 kiloparsecs (144,300 light-years), and has a mass of about 2.9–4.8 × 109 solar masses; its outer ring has a circular velocity of 217 km/s. An estimation of the galaxy's span resulted in a conclusion of 150,000 light years, which is slightly smaller than the Andromeda Galaxy. The galaxy was once a normal spiral galaxy before it apparently underwent a head-on “bullseye” style collision with a smaller companion approximately 200-300 million years prior to how we see the system today. When the nearby galaxy passed through the Cartwheel Galaxy, the force of the collision caused a powerful gravitational shock wave to expand through the galaxy, like a rock being tossed into a sandbed. Moving at high speed, the shock wave swept up and compressed gas and dust, creating a starburst around the galaxy's center portion that went unscathed as it expanded outwards. This explains the bluish ring around the center, brighter portion. It can be noted that the galaxy is beginning to retake the form of a normal spiral galaxy, with arms spreading out from a central core. These arms are often referred to as the cartwheel's “spokes”.
