Yorkshire House Histories: The fascinating story of an Edwardian semi in Shipley where television history was made in 1929 - and where a woman's death led to a court case
"We were attracted to the house because the people there before had only done it up around the time they moved in, so a lot of the Edwardian features were untouched, such as the stained glass windows, skirting and internal doors. The staircase had been boarded over in the 1960s so we ‘unboxed’ it. We built an extension two years ago, but we had to use reclaimed stone and it all had to match up.
"This street took quite a long time to build, and it was during a period of expansion for Shipley. We did a bit of research before the television link, so we already knew about Dorothy Wright and her politics – she was a popular woman. Our street Whatsapp group was how we found out that the house had been in a T&A article, and although the rooms didn’t match up at first, the name Wright seemed a bit of a coincidence. I eventually realised it was our house.
"When we moved in, there was a big shed which had electricity in the garden, and we now think this was where Sydney’s radio club held their meetings and stored equipment.
