On 7th January 1895 Rose, “late of Weaverham board Schools” started work as an Assistant Mistress at Whitley Lower Church of England School in West Yorkshire. Whitley Lower is a small village in pleasant hilly countryside a few miles east of Huddersfield. ROSE HINDLEY (1871-1951) 1871ROSE/2 1901 Census Rose was Boarding with Elizabeth Jackson at Falhouse, Whitley Upper, West Yorkshire. She was listed as Head Teacher, Church School. Rose taught at Whitley Lower school from 1895 until 1908. Her time at the school has been documented in the School Log Books. Here are some extracts from Whitley Lower School Log Books: 1895 August 19th. Teaching staff listed in the Inspectors Report: Henry Wickham Bushell Master Rose Hindley Ex P.T. Art. 50 Edith Horton Monitress Sarah Helen Ingham Monitress 1895 November 5th Miss Hindley away this afternoon. Girls – no sewing. Boys – no drawing.

Her sister, Florance, was aged 17. 1896 August 17th Miss Hindley returned to school. Several children away harvesting. Frequent comments relating to poor attendance of pupils. 1897 November 29th Lengthy absence of Miss Hindley. Returned 31st January 1898. 1898 February 22nd Miss Hindley away yesterday, at school this morning. Rev. Bullivant sent his usual present of a toffee stick for each child, and being Shrove Tuesday the children had a half holiday. 1899 May 19th Assistant (Miss Hindley) has been at the school 3 half days during the past 5 weeks. Returned June 12th. Rose had very few absences from 1900-1908. Maybe it was as a result of better heating. See below. 1900 December 3rd The warming of the school is unsatisfactory. Sub Inspector. 1901 Census Rose, aged 28, is boarding at the home of Elizabeth Jackson, Falhouse, Whitley Upper. She is recorded as being Head Teacher Church School. She is more likely to have been the equivalent of a Deputy Head. Falhouse Lane appears to be in Whitley Lower. Rose would be living about half a mile from the school. 1902 October 3rd Heating apparatus used for first time on Wednesday. ROSE HINDLEY (1871-1951) 1871ROSE/3 1903 June 8th The first week of the school year was a holiday week, it being Whitsuntide. 1903 September 3rd 128 children present. Inspectors say that the teachers do not appear to be engaged under written agreements. 1904 May 9th Master left the school in charge of Assistant from 2.45p.m. in order to go to Dewsbury to cash cheque for Teachers Salaries. 1905 May 31st Inspectors listed the staff at the school as: Henry Bushell Head Teacher Rose Hindley U.A.

Scarcity of applications. 1908 June 30th Miss Hindley is leaving today. She has been assistant mistress here since January 1895. End of selected Log Book entries. From this last date it is likely that Rose joined her sister, Margaret, in Bolton. The 1911 Census shows her and her sister lodging at 112 Bradshaw Brow, Turton, near Bolton. Rose (40) and Margaret (47) are recorded as being shopkeepers, selling fancy goods. ROSE HINDLEY (1871-1951) 1871ROSE/4 My search for Rose Hindley was triggered by the 1901 Census. In the Spring of 2009 my wife and I travelled to West Yorkshire to search for the School where she had been teaching. The Census gave the Civil Parish as Whitley Upper. We found Upper Whitley Junior and Infant School, a Victorian building with the words Board School included in the original title and decided that this was where Rose taught. Our visit was at a weekend so I decided to write to the present head for details of records. He replied that, after much searching of the school, he had found an old book which listed staff around 1901. There was no Rose Hindley. He did, however, report that a colleague thought that Falhouse was near Whitley Lower. Google Earth could not find the place – I had typed in Fallhouse as in the Census. I decided to write to the Vicar of Whitley Lower Church to ask for information. He passed my letter to a Churchwarden, John Riley. John informed me that Whitley Lower is now known as Whitley. Whitley shares St Mary and St Michael’s Church with Briestfield. Whitley Upper is now known as Grange Moor. The Church School was built in the 1840s and closed because of falling numbers in 1986. The School is now a community centre. John contacted an old lady who had taught at the School and she told him that a few years ago a parishioner came to her with an old school log book. The old teacher contacted Kirklees Archive Service and they were very happy to take it into their keeping. Huddersfield Library (Archive Section) confirmed that Whitley Lower Church School Log Book 1863–1904 was in their possession. (Ref. No. WYK 1468). We arranged a visit to the centre of Huddersfield and I copied the above information (up to 1904) in regulation pencil. Rose was still there in 1904 so I needed to find the next Log Book. It wasn’t until I got home and checked on the internet that I realised that the only other Log Book (Whitley Lower Church of England, First and Middle Schools 1904–1986) was obtainable from the same Library. In fact this Log Book (temporary ref. no. KA39/1) was held off site. A week later on 5th June 2009 we returned to Huddersfield and completed the task, covering the years 1904-1908. Later pages in the Log Book were bound with ribbon on account of the 30 Year Rule of confidentiality. Both log Books were in very good condition. We drove on to Whitley Lower Community Centre and did a circular walk. We walked down Howroyd Lane and struggled up a rough track through a wood (which looks like a good road on the Google map of the area) to Falhouse Lane. Rose might have walked across fields from her lodgings to the Church as there was evidence of a public footpath from Falhouse Lane in the direction of the Church. Falhouse Lane wound uphill to Whitley Road (the main road). We reached Whitley Village, walked past the Church and back to the car. Lunch was gratefully eaten at a country pub, a mile or so north of Grange Moor, where there were extensive views over the moorland. ROSE HINDLEY (1871-1951) 1871ROSE/5 The hamlet (small village) of Falhouse is where Rose was lodging (circled bottom left). The Church is circled in the top right of the picture and the School is a few yards further down the lane close to the corner. Two pictures in Howroyd Lane, Whitley Lower.
