      Good guess, although this player became an opening partner and mentor to the young Len.

    Years ago my brother won 6d by correctly naming the place he was born. His obituary in The Times said, wrongly , he was born in Pudsey.

Fulneck School: A Heritage of Hearts and Minds

Image
 💔 A Farewell to Fulneck School: A Heritage of Hearts and Minds   It is with great sadness that we mark the closure of Fulneck School , a place that has stood for centuries as a living embodiment of educational hope and global vision. The roots of Fulneck School reach back to the ideas of John Amos Comenius , the 17th-century Moravian bishop and philosopher known as the "Father of Modern Education." Comenius believed that education should be universal, gentle, and lifelong — values that still guide classrooms today. The school was founded here in 1753 , initially for boys, as part of the Fulneck Moravian Settlement’s mission to create a self-sufficient community grounded in faith and learning. It expanded to include girls in 1755 , reflecting the radical Moravian belief in equal education for all , centuries ahead of its time. Those early boarders faced harsh conditions by today’s standards: unheated dormitories, strict schedules, and long days. Yet, for many, the altern...

Image
Hold on to your flats caps there’s 200 years of history coming your way… As Pudsey Parish Church celebrates it bicentenary this weekend, we take a closer look at its impressive tower and the clock that it holds - for both have a special significance for Pudsey. The tower is not only a great landmark, standing proudly on the skyline, visible from Ilkley Moor to Morley and very clearly from Westgate Hill (a fantastic view where the church appears to float amongst the trees). It also holds a special clock that has its own origins right here in Pudsey Chapeltown, the product of the world famous "Potts of Leeds". Note – this blog refers to Pudsey St Lawrence prior to 1873, and Pudsey Parish Church afterwards when the Town became a full Parish.     W.Potts & Sons: The Pudsey Years 1833-1862 William Potts founded the renowned clockmaking firm of William Potts & Sons in Pudsey in 1833, having moved to Pudsey from Darlington to set up his clockmaking business, only 9 ...

Champions Again! History of the English First Division Trophy

Champions Again! The History of the English First Division Trophy and Leeds United’s Triumphs Before the glitz and global fanfare of the Premier League, English football’s top prize was the Football League First Division Trophy – the silverware every club aspired to lift. Introduced in 1890, the First Division Trophy symbolised the pinnacle of English football success. Though rebranded with the birth of the Premier League in 1992, the trophy’s legacy lives on, especially for clubs like Leeds United – who etched their name in history as champions multiple times. Image source - Leeds United Official   Leeds United’s connection to the First Division Trophy is steeped in grit, ambition and a determination that defines Yorkshire football. Their first taste of championship glory came under the legendary Don Revie in the 1968–69 season. Revie’s side, known for their tactical brilliance and defensive discipline, won the title with a then-record 67 points, losing just two matches. It was a...
