SE1737 : Idle Upper Chapel, foundation stone
taken 3 years ago, near to Shipley, Bradford, England
Idle Upper Chapel, foundation stone
This is the foundation stone of the now-closed 1956 church, see SE1737 : Idle Upper Chapel, old and newer for context and history. It was dedicated to Sir George Garnett (1871-1955) who as well as being a local millowner (of Castle Mills) was presumably a member of the congregation here.
Idle & Thorp
Idle and Thorp are two formerly separate villages north of Bradford. Nowadays they form part of the Bradford conurbation, and the name of Thorp is much less used locally than Idle (although it presumably gave its name to nearby Thorpe Edge). Together, they were formerly known as Idlethorp, and that is the title of a local history book by Wright Watson published in 1950, from a facsimile copy of which (ISBN 9 781 905 40846 8) I have quoted extracts in individual photo descriptions.
