Wrose

Wrose is a village in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, about three miles north of the city centre, and south-east of Shipley. It sits on top of a hillside at a height of around 600ft above sea level overlooking the Aire valley and Bradford valley. Since 2004 it has constituted a civil parish, and is surrounded entirely by the unparished area of Bradford. [http://archive.thisisbradford.co.uk/2004/6/16/99870.html] Around the hillside (Carr Hill) can be found the remains of many stone quarries, whose growth exploded in the 19th century as the city of Bradford grew with the wool trade. Many of Bradford's fine Yorkshire millstone buildings are built from these resources. A quarry at nearby Bolton Woods still operates today. Wrose was home to the famous Yorkshire sporting family the Jowets. Its last and most famous member being Dawson Jowet. Founder of the Airedale beagles Hunting pack. Dawson was the founder of the pack in 1891 and Master until his death in 1933. His monument remains to this day on Ilkley moor.

The photograph shows a 17th century house in Snowden Road in Wrose. Tucked behind Wrose Road's suburbia are a number of very old houses with the characteristic stone flagged roof. This one bears a date of 1616. Note the difference of height with the neighbouring property.
