Does anyone know anything about this old house that once stood on Buslingthorpe Lane?It was approximately where the Sheepscar Club on Scott Hall Road is now - quite a big property it seems. Yet there's nothing on Leodis that even makes reference to it; the old maps suggest that it was demolished at some point between 1921 and 1933 (so maybe something to do with the construction of Scott Hall Road?). The only tiny tidbit I can find is courtesy of the Tithe Maps site, which reveals that the occupier in 1845 was one Jane Wright. Apart from that - nothing.Anyone?

Ah yeah, the Springhill Tavern you mean? Not sure it's being developed as such - they took the boards off the windows and put hoardings round it about a year ago but nothing seems to have happened since! Would be good if something non-demolishy happened to it soon though. Same goes for the rest of what's left of Bus Lane...

I had the same problem to find out what I thought was an abandoned railway line in Bradford. Could I find anything out about it? Could I chuff. It was lucky chance choice of words in google search that finally found it.. The line was actually abandoned as a cost cutting measure in 1914 during W.W.1. It was only open 20 years. There was 3 small pieces of text I finally found when I knew what it was. I'm surprised there is no mention of Tiplin Hall though, there usually is some text turns up on a search if at least no photos do

I have tried searching 19th century newspapers, censuses & street directories all to no avail
