St. Margaret's Chapel
The original Chapel was built in 1632, eventually being replaced by this one in 1861. |

St. Peter's Church
Located in Hough Lane, this photograph taken in the late 1800’s shows the fine lines of the ‘Gothic’ building style very much favoured in Victorian times. Also, of the time, we see a rather splendid looking coach being pulled by a solitary horse (those of us who have cycled up Hough Lane, will know this would have been very hard work for the horse!)
This photograph was taken whilst standing in the then newly built Bramley National School playground.
The Earl of Cardigan was prominent in the funding for the building of this church, but with the proviso that it be named “St. Peter’s”, which it is to this day. |

Stanningley Road
This view was taken facing towards Stanningley, and ultimately Bradford. Only recently would the inhabitants thereabouts have seen the arrival of tram tracks and here we have two trams crossing paths. As well as this newer invention we can see the gas lamps, which must have made a huge difference to the lives of everyone when going out at night for pleasure, or to and from their workplace during the dark winter hours. Also to be seen are the telegraph polls and the overhead power supply line feeding the trams.
To the left of the picture is the Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, and more to the centre of the picture shows the turning leading to Elder Road. |

Trinity Methodist Church
A new facia to this building off Town Street and alongside Wesley Terrace was erected in 1986. At this time three chapels amalgamated, hence the new name of ‘Trinity’. These were the Brunswick, Moriah and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels, respectively. |

The Wesley Place Chapel
One of the three chapels, to eventually become as one, taken many years before it was demolished to make way for the new Yorkshire Bank building. Taken in the late 1800’s, not only does this photograph show the large, imposing chapel standing to the left, with its wall, railings and twin lamps outside the entrance, but a grand ‘double-fronted,’ stone built house with walled garden. To the right, and at the Waterloo Lane junction, can be seen the newly built Midland Bank with its domed tower. |
