  • St Bartholomew's Church, Armley
    ST BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH, ARMLEY by C.R.A. Davies photographs THE SCHULZE ORGAN RESTORED BY HARRISON & HARRISON ST BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH, ARMLEY The organ was built in 1869 by J.F. Schulze & Sons of Paulinzelle, Germany, for T.S. Kennedy of Meanwood Towers, Leeds. A special wood-framed organ house, large enough for some 800 people, was built to accommodate it. In 1877 the organ was loaned to St Peter's Church Harrogate, and in 1879 it was installed by Brindley & Foster in the north transept of St Bartholomew's Church, with two additional Pedal stops (1 and 3) supplied by Schulze. The case of American walnut was made at this time. In 1905 the organ was rebuilt by J.J. Binns of Bramley, Leeds. Binns was a strong admirer of Schulze's work, and aimed to preserve the organ's musical character. He installed his patent pneumatic action and a new console, but retained the original pipework*, slider soundboards and much of the wind system. The only significant change since then was the removal of Binns's combination action in 1976. In 2004 the organ was comprehensively restored to its 1905 state, but with two alterations. First, the Choir and Echo Organs, which were placed low down at the back of the instrument, have been raised to the same level as the Great Organ so that their gentle sounds can be heard more clearly. Secondly, the 1976 piston system has been replaced by a modern setter system, unobtrusively installed together with electro-pneumatic drawstop mechanism on traditional lines.

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.

  • May 2021 FOI 2387-21 Drink Spiking
    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors.
