Malcolm's unknown house in Oakworth

[Andy Wade]

Hi Everyone,

Malcolm has a picture of a house in Oakworth (somewhere during the 1920's?). I think it's called Oakville?
Anyway I've placed it online here so that people can view it and perhaps even help to locate it.
Rumour has it that it's somewhere around the Ingrow Lane/Oakworth road junction - above Oakbank School.

Hi everyone

Shortly after asking Jan & Andy to put this on the forum, I found evidence of its' location & visited the property.

The current owners were very helpful and interested in the old picture of their home.

It is, in fact, exactly where Andy has suggested it was.

Thanks, I can now follow up the family history of the people in the photograph, who was William Ingham Slater, Head master of Oakworth School and retired in 1917.
