26) After work with colleagues, I went to @bradford2025.co.uk Loading Bay to see 'Nisbet Road Tailor Shop' exhibition featuring clothing & photos on loan from @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social. Caught 'Sonic Swirl and Silence' sensory experience too. Followed by food and drink at Darley St. Market. 🧵🪡

25) I've been off work to spend time with little people. Yesterday I took one to #Bradford Industrial Museum for the Halloween trail. Today, we took two to Bolling Hall for the Halloween event day. I know I'm biased but @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social run great free family events all year round. 🎃💀🪄

24) For our work team away day, my colleagues & I explored what's on our doorstep in #Bradford, visiting @mediamuseum.bsky.social to see their fab new galleries & visiting @impressions-gallery.com to see their current exhibition 'Make Yourself at Home'. Plus lunch at Darley St. Market. 🏛 📺 📻 📸

23) This evening I had pre-show drinks in Sunbridgewells tunnels, #Bradford, before watching the theatre show #Uncanny Fear of the Dark @dannyrobins.bsky.social at Bradford Alhambra. Great staging and paranormal cases. 😱🛸👻

There's lots of ways to interpret place-meanings and origins. Ivegate could mean steep, or even refer to ivy. This is where one interpretation refers to St. Ives.

It was officially called Harden Grange but when the estate was bought it the mid-1800s by William Ferrand, it adopted the name St. Ives. Apparently because Ferrand thought the area was similar to that of St. Ives, Cornwall.

Ivegate is believed to mean the street to St. Ives.

Both. The collection of characters assembled was eclectic. Once you got comfortable with the world, it all changed again within a few chapters with plot-twists which kept it fresh for a longer read.
