I’ve added a new piece to the Batley St. Mary’s one-place study. Parishioner Michael Howley, who died in America in 1919, is commemorated on Batley War Memorial, but not on the parish memorial or by the CWGC. This is his biography.

It’s hard to imagine today, but yes the newspapers in this period are peppered with such horrible incidents. The post I’m publishing tomorrow about the same headstone for my #Batley St Mary’s #OnePlaceStudy is a total contrast & throws up a common research anomaly.
I published a new Batley St. Mary of the Angels one-place study post this evening linked to a headstone in Batley cemetery. It illustrates an every-day danger in this era. A contrasting post about the same headstone will be published tomorrow.

After mass at my one-place study parish of Batley St Mary of the Angels, I went to Batley cemetery to source a photo for a post I’m working on. Got the photo, but in the process I’ve come away with another blog post to research!

For our next Christmassy #OnePlaceStudy blog post we go back to 2017, when @janeroberts.bsky.social wrote about a wartime Christmas in Batley (& beyond), back in 1917. I’m counting it as a #OnePlaceStudy post even though Jane did not embark on a formal OPS of Batley St Mary of the Angels until 2020!

Some of this aerial view might look familiar perhaps. I've circled where the Norths had a house, retail shop and workshops. #batley
As someone who grew up in Batley I am fascinated by this photo. Thanks for sharing!! #batley
I’ve reviewed a newly published booklet about Mayors of Batley between 1869-1974. Find out why I believe it’s a must read for anyone interested in the town’s local history, and how to obtain a copy, in the link below. All profits for charity

Later addition to the main Public Baths building. I'm not 100% certain this was the Turkish bath extension but it seems most likely. Can any Batley resident help confirm this, or correct it?
Typographic advertisement from the Batley News (24 November 1893) giving the opening times and charges. Available for Ladies on Wednesdays after noon at the 1st class price of 1/-. Otherwise baths on Fridays and Saturdays cost 6d.
#onthisday, 27 November 1893, #Batley Corpn added #TurkishBaths to its Public Baths opened earlier in the year. Hottest room could be raised to 220°F. Manager William Lister earned 24/- per week. In 1895, Ald. Colbeck told baths committee the Turkish was popular with doctors & parsons. +ALT 🗃️ #C19th
I’ve added a new May Queen post to the Batley St Mary of the Angels One-Place Study - 1952 and Patricia Anne Cain

For Remembrance Sunday I’ve published a new Batley St Mary of the Angels biography, James Edwards who was killed in action in 1918. Dedicated to his nephew who served in WW2.
