Featherstone Old School Days - West Yorkshire "Bringing the past to life, one photograph at a time."

At Featherstone Old School Days (FOSD), we aim to share images that depict people in everyday life, with a particular focus on "School Days" as our name suggests. You'll find these images come from a variety of places, including submissions from our followers, the public domain, open-source platforms, publicly accessible records, and other social media sites. It's really important to us that we do

n't intentionally publish anything visual or written that could be considered obscene, inflammatory, or indecent according to the law. We also have a firm rule against content that might corrupt public morals, encourage violence, incite disorder, promote hate (including bullying), harass or distress anyone, or encourage self-harm, suicide, or unhealthy practices like eating disorders. Our commitment at Featherstone Old School Days is to keep all our users, both children and adults, safe from content that is obscene, offensive, harmful, or potentially harmful. This is something we take seriously and is guided by the Online Safety Act 2023, all other relevant laws, and the principles of data protection under the UK GDPR. We strive to ensure that everything we publish is suitable for a general audience and follows Meta's guidelines, including their minimum age of 13 and Community Standards. We don't believe our content is obscene or offensive as legally defined, nor do we think it's likely to cause distress to our viewers. However, if after reading this, you feel that accessing Featherstone Old School Days might cause you harassment, alarm, or distress (whether emotional or otherwise), or if you are under the age of thirteen (13), we strongly advise you not to visit our page or any other groups we manage. Ultimately, the content you see on FOSD is meant to reflect everyday life, especially those "School Days" we remember. We source these images from various channels, including our community, publicly available resources, and other social media platforms.

Hero Toddler Saves Mother's Life With Nebuliser Dash

Keeley Gates, now aged four, has been hailed a hero after saving her mother’s life when she suffered a severe asthma attack.

The incident occurred when Keeley was just three years old. Her mother, Melanie, suddenly became unable to move or speak. With remarkable composure, the toddler went straight to the cupboard and retrieved the nebuliser.

Keeley managed to place the mask on her mother's face but was not strong enough to manually pump the device. Showing quick thinking, she ran outside to get help, resulting in a neighbour administering the life-saving medication.

Keeley’s story of bravery was subsequently featured on the television programme 999 Lifesavers.

After the family’s experience was shared on a TV chat show last year, a public donation was made, enabling them to purchase an electric nebuliser.

A photograph published in The Express shows a recovering Melanie alongside Keeley and the family's newest addition, four-month-old Rebecca, who was born four months after the near-fatal incident.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

By all means add a photo in the comments of a family member who fought in any conflict. We hope to create an album to recognise those who fought or died in service protecting the U.K and its allies.

A burst of 1970s joy is perfectly captured in this bright, vintage photograph. The subject, Janine Whitworth, the Featherstone Gala Queen of '74, beams with pride.

Behind her is Purston Park Bowling Green and pavilion with toilets; sadly long gone.
