Post-War Life In Clayton Heights: A Chance To Share Your Memories And Stories

The Neighbourhood Project CIC is carrying out research into the history of Clayton Heights. We are looking to talk to people who have lived, worked, volunteered, owned a property or business, or had some other connection with the area or nearby, or who are familiar with it for some other reason.

We are especially interested in people who lived in or close by Clayton Heights soon after the Second World War as we wish to capture people’s memories of this period, what it was like to live there, how it changed and any interesting facts or stories. These memories will provide us with material for a short video about Clayton Heights we hope to produce before the end of the year.

With kind support from Habinteg Housing Association, we are running a ‘memory bank’ event at the Eden Gardens Community Room, Wagtail Close, Bradford, BD6 3YJ, on Wednesday 22nd October 2025, 10am to 12pm. This will be an informal discussion and give people an opportunity to reminisce about Clayton Heights and share their stories. People’s contributions will be anonymous unless they give us permission to name them. We will provide light refreshments.

If you wish to find out more, please contact Jonathan Crewdson by either telephone or text using 07422 715910 or send him an email to bWFpbCB8IG5laWdoYm91cmhvb2Rwcm9qZWN0ICEgb3JnICEgdWs=
