Hi Tina, I live in Bradford and although I'd have to look up for you at our archives exactly what churches are listed for Eccleshill I can tell you there is only one church off the top of my head in Eccleshill village. Calverley is officially in Leeds, quite a distance on the outskirts of Bradford. Greengates is a bit further down the hill than Eccleshill and its probably easiest to say its next to Calverley. Its probably 6/7 miles outside Bradford City Centre. There is a Bolton in Bradford - I live there. The main church within Bolton would be St James' which is on Bolton Road. I think its been open since the mid 1800's but again I'd have to check to be sure. Bolton is about a 15 minute walk (2 ? miles) outside the city centre - there is also an area of Bradford called Bolton Woods, just to confuse matters. I think the main church there is called St Chrysanthemums or something similar. If your Barraclough's, as mine originally came from North Bierley it would have been quite a walk for them - completely the other side of town. Hope this helps a bit - I'll keep my eye on things and on my next day off if you're all still interested, I'll try to find out what churches there are there. Good Luck !
