Topic : Incomers |
|
| Corky Yorky |
Wouldnt Silsden be a much happier place if those born and bred here stopped referring to new folk as incomers in a derogatory way, as if they are somehow different. History dictates that we all have lineage to be new to a place. Silsden will continue to change, and people will come and go, but thats no reason to differentiate people. There has never been reference to outgoers in such manner! Make Silsden a happier place, welcome all who enter and they will remember Silsden for its kind folk if nothing else. |

I have lived in Silsden for 47years so I am officially an offcumden, but I can truthfully say that I find it a really friendly place to live. I believe it is how you approach people yourself that counts. |

I'm an offcumden and I have lived here for over 20 years. Coming from the South it took me quite a while to come to terms with how friendly and helpful Silsden people are. Perhaps you haven't been here long enough as I have never heard the word incomers used when referring to residents not born n bread in Silsden. |

CorkyYorky your post on the general topic perhaps answers why you are not accepted here? Live and let live, help where you can, works for me. |
|
| Corky Yorky |
Peter please stay on topic. Your comment does not help! Incomer.....offcumden same thing throughout, and all words too commonly used in a derogatory way! |
|
| Corky Yorky |
Grandad who says I’m not accepted here...Only you! It transpires that you are a result of your own fate...Clearly it is you that is not accepted in the living society of Silsden as you spend too much time on here waffling on and slagging people off. You are the epitomy of exactly the kind of person this topic is referring to. Get a life and stop trying to make mystery for others who are keen to enhance the world and not bring this world down. if you are such a misery I suggest you book youself into the new Silsden Health Centre, if you can pick yourself up from probably verbally knocking that down as well. Im signing off to have a grand day. |

I have only lived in Silsden 10 years so I'm deffinitly an offcumden but anyone who knows me will certainly agree I have been made very welcome. There is alus jokes about offcumdens wherever you live and I have not seen anything particulary derogatory towards any offcumdens on here. Silsden is very friendly place to live. |

Silsden has always welcomed people, many refugees who lived at the hostel, married and remained here for the rest of their lives. Silsden people have an innate sense which allows them to recognise bull sugar. Thirty years ago a couple bought a house on the perimeter of the town, and then tried to prevent any further building opposite, sighting environmental issues naturally. We saw through that one. Yes Silsden welcomes you, but don't treat us as fools. |

Not many Cobbydalers around now, most were born in Airedale Hospital or worse like myself up Fell Lane!! Here is a bit of perspective writerinresidence.me/an-offcumden-in-yorkshire/ |

quoteNot many Cobbydalers around now, most were born in Airedale Hospital or worse like myself up Fell Lane!! Here is a bit of perspective writerinresidence.me/an-offcumden-in-yorkshire/ Depends on your perspective, I like my parents and grandparents were home births in Silsden, My daughter and eldest granddaughter were born in Airedale but came home to SILSDEN, and regard themselves as SILSDENERS, is it really necessary to be born within the sound of the church bells? They were unringable for many years............? |

| Mickyfinn |
Excuse my ignorance Robin, but where might the far side of LEGOLAND be? |
|
| dogcatcher |
the answer to legoland might cauce a rumpas as would chinatown and ramsey street areas of silsden that have had nicknames for years or a few years on some,i myself have only lived here for 43 years, but reckon im a silsdener but not a cobbydaler,these names are just local banter like any town and i live on an estate with one of the afore mentioned names   |
|
| victor |
Mickyfin LEGOLAND are the houses built up Howden road junction with Ings way on the right. Two and three storey houses, some backing onto the canal. |
|
| Mickyfinn |
Well guys you live & learn. I remember the old DP buildings at the junction with Waterside, I have never heard the new houses built there being described as 'Legoland' & neither has my wife who is Silsden born & bred. |
|
| jbrare |
Me neither. I remember the old red brick WW2 buildings, they looked far worse! |

| Cobydaler |
CorkyYorky If your attitude to fellow Silsdeners is the same as your reply's in this thread not realy suprised people don't get on with you . |

robin Website Member Posts : 134 I think this is the earliest ref' to legoland. Taylor ave' was known as Chinatown, but i don't no why. 23/06/2006 : 12:47:30 reply with quote How DO plans get passed. 20 years ago the development in Howden Road had to be Bungalows, the chap who built the two at the bottom could'nt get permission to put a dorma on them. Then suddenly Legoland appeared. How do plans get passed |

Where Is ramsey street? |
|
| dogcatcher |
according to a window cleaner legoland is also the name of the estate at the top of hillcrest ave and ramsey st (after the soap) is hunters meadow |
|
| midway |
Thank's for that Boss. Now taylor ave' brings back memories of a friend who moved to Australia in the 70s ,Alan Pickles/ speedy, we worked together at Lookers in Keighley. please get in touch Alan. |

| dogcatcher |

Doggy , Victor is right about LEGOLAND and it was Dobsons that built them |
|

quoteaccording to a window cleaner legoland is also the name of the estate at the top of hillcrest ave and ramsey st (after the soap) is hunters meadow I thought Hunters Meadow was Brookside after the soap of the same name |
|
| victor |
Yes gazer I thought Hunters meadow was Brookside, and LEGOLAND was built by Dobsons of Ilkley in around 1985. |
