I don't know the back story but I remember it from when I lived in Thornhill as a child in the 1960s. As I remember it was a short row of terraced houses, by then ruined and derelict, somewhere in the westrern Edge Top area of Thornhill (but I may be wrong). I went there with my father and my memory is of crossing a field on a path to reach this isolated row of derelict houses with the street sign 'T'BACK O'T'MOON' still there. People used to refer to it fondly.
Hi, my dad used to live on 'Back 'T Moon'. It went derelict soon after my family (Smiths) moved out. I also belive the 'Holgates' lived nearby, maybe even the one next door.
Yes there was a Fire station in Dewsbury before 1960. It was close to the Town Hall and in fact I seem to remember that the they may even have had offices in the twon Hall. My father, Vernon Thornton served as an officer with the Dewsbury Fire Service during the war and it is possible he was attached to a group that specialised in chemical fires. This group I understand was sent around the country to deal to deal with these type of fires, up the coast to Sunderland and Newcastle and also to Coventry. I would be intersted to find out more information about this group and particulaly the role that my father played. Please contact me on Jeremy.thornton@wanadoo.fr
