POSING proudly with a trophy these footballers were captured on camera in 1928.

The men were members of the Menston hospital team which had clearly enjoyed a successful season.

Opened in 1888 as the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, the hospital went on to become known as High Royds.

The hospital was largely self-sufficient, and its facilities included a dispensary, dairies, bakery, and a cobbler's workshop. It even had its own railway line connecting it to the Wharfedale railway line.

High Royds closed in 2003 and is now the site of a housing estate. Since its closure it has been used as a set for the film Asylum, as well as a number of TV series including No Angels, Bodies, Fat Friends, Heartbeat and The Royal.

In 1960 local people asked what was to be done about Addingham's most blind and most dangerous corner. The Addingham Main Street-Bolton Road junction was commonly known as Crown Corner.
