    3. Hi Folks, For those with ancestry which goes back to Heaton, you may be quite interested to know about a book that has recently been published, called 'Heaton the best place of all", by John Stanley King. If you can, I recommend that you lay your hands on a copy, for your library. There are photos of Bairstow and Ben Tetley, and one of Alonza Tetley's milk cart in it, and other information that I'll discuss 'on-list' when I get the time. But that shouldn't deter you from buying a copy. Apart from the Tetley information, it's as good a description of a Yorkshire pennine village and its folk, as you'll find anywhere. There are quite a few photographs to give you a feel for the place, even if you've never been there yourselves. John Stanley King has corresponded with me in the past, and has lived in Heaton all his life. He has been a councillor since 1970, and is lord of the manor of Heaton. He was Lord Mayor of Bradford in 2000. The book is ISBN 0-907734-596 priced at 9.95 UKP, and is available from Bradford Library, (I believe) but you may be able to buy it through other sources.
