More about the whereabouts of Crow Trees House (this one looks as if it'll run and run). Amy Booth writes to tell me that Crow Trees wasn't the house "opposite the Royal Infirmary, exactly opposite the Girls' Grammar School in Squire Lane" which was how US-based reader Vincent Finn described it in Past Times on April 21.

"That building is called Daisy Bank and always was," she writes. "It was the offices etc for Woolcombers and/or BDA,. Crow Trees is the next house along the road, at the top of Crow Tree Lane. I should know. I was brought up at Crow Trees from 1942-1962. Daisy Bank is now to do with the NHS and is home to Bradford Cancer Support Centre. I don't know which Bradford family ever lived there. We always called it Woolcombers."

From Roy Lowther comes the information that the other Crow Trees mentioned by Vincent Finn as being in Killinghall Road was listed in a Bradford Council 1995-96 guide to rest homes and nursing homes as being at 359 Killinghall Road.

It was close to another nursing home, The Links, and has made way for a major new nursing-home development on the site. Roy also tells me that the other house I mentioned, which is now the golf clubhouse, was called Scarr Hall and was the residence of the city of Bradford's first mayor, Thomas Speight, who died in 1921. Prior to that it was the home of Joshua Pollard, of the family which gave its name to Pollard Park.
