My ancestors lived in Holbeck, Beeston and Wortley since the late 18th century. I lived in Beeston till I was 12. At that time (1961) the Holbeck Workhouse building was still there. Recently I discovered that my 5 times Great Grandfather, Charles Cluderay, was Clerk to the Workhouse Board of Guardians as well as being Holbeck Registrar. He died in office in 1880 at the age of 69.
Excellent. I remember most of those and especially Cockburn High School.
