The Future Of Nelson St & The Ghost........

Posted by Mark Elliott on May 8, 2009 at 9:00 PM

Was just wondering what the plan is for Nelson St, Will it be ever used again which would be highly unlikely or has WY Fire found a buyer?

 

Being built on the same site as the victorian Fire station, The station had it's own ghost who liked to play snooker upstairs especially in the early hours!!

 

An ex Bfd fireman friend, told me that every now and then they would hear the balls banging and cracking away in the games room.

 

So one night he sat downstairs by the radio room expecting it to be a few of the watch lads playing a prank on the lone person who was on radio duty.

 

The lad who had been spooked earlier, Was too frightened and whitefaced to sit alone in the radio room, So they both sat there and waited.

 

Eventually they heard the noises from the games room, So they both ran upstairs and opened the door expecting to find the lads there?

 

But no, They were all asleep in the rest room, And there was no possible way that they could have played with the balls and gone to the rest room so quick!!

 

There was no explanation.

 

I bet there are plenty of similar spooky stories about working the nightwatch at Nelson St?

Hi Mark, been working away for a while. I have quite a few spooky stories of working at Bradford I'll put some down for you to see. There did seem to be an unusual presence at times and a great old fireman Jack Horsley could often be found talking to someone in the dormitory who he swore was the old chief officer. It was always freezing cold whenever this was happening and definetely strange.
