Fond memories

Mr Harry Lamont is one of the older members of the local community who have kindly come forward to be interviewed by our young Burley Champions.

The stories told by our interviewees confirm that Burley is a fascinating place. Its densely packed terraced housing was built to accommodate workers for the busy mills and factories along the river Aire. At different times in its history, people have come to live in Burley from different parts of the world to set up a new life for themselves and their family and this is reflected in the many cultures and languages found in Burley today.
