The Square Looking Towards Tenter Hill
The shop in the centre with the foliage on the wall was a newsagent's, later
a barber's and latterly a butcher's shop, It was demolished in April 1994.
Before becoming a shop it was a one up one down cottage where, at one time,
a family called Hunt lived. They had eight children and called one of them
Bramham Moor.

This is how it looked until the latest road alterations at
the beginning of the 1990's.

Tenter Hill
Taken from the bottom of the hill about 1913. The house on the right was
known as Tenter Hill Lodge where a Miss Bownas ran a school for young ladies
in the mid-nineteenth century. When the curate of the Church, the Rev Thomas
Radcliffe, gave religious instruction to the young ladies, to show their
appreciation, they presented a velvet altar cloth to the Church i 1849.
Early this century the house was used as a butchers shop owned by a Mr
Hebron. On the left is a house known as The Grange. Previous known owners
included Miss Celia Ledgard, Mrs Challoner and Captain Thompson. Bramham
Park Estate made it into three houses, which is how it remains today.
