Woodland to regain its beauty after major tree felling work
By Miran Rahman PEOPLE who enjoy St Ives Country Estate have been assured new life will return to a woodland area subjected to extensive felling to contain a disease.
Hundreds of non-native larch trees had to be removed from Betty’s Wood, which occupies part of the Bradford Council-owned estate outside Harden, to prevent the further spread of a virulent disease which kills a variety of species.
The felling finished early this year, and large parts of the wood now contain little more than stumps, dead branches and mounds of broken up timber.
Most of the largest trees still standing are Scotch firs, which are not susceptible to the phytophthora ramorum disease.
But the Friends of St Ives group has said people upset by the wood’s current desolate looking condition can look forward to its rebirth, with a range of native species to be planted later this year.
Pam Laking, chairman of Friends of St Ives, said trees due to be planted by the council will include oak, disease resistant elm and indigenous blossoming trees such as wild cherry, rowan, crab apple, and alder buckthorn.
“The wood will look beautiful in future, even more so than it looked before,” she noted. “And one idea which is particularly nice is that the blossoming trees will be planted right along the pathways. “This will be a proper English woodland, which is much better for wildlife. “What we had before were mainly larch trees, which had been planted together in 1948, and were quite limiting in terms of wildlife habitat. “While there are still a lot of rhododendron branches lying around these will be cleared too, and all the rhododendron in St Ives will have to go, as these are carriers for the disease. “However, once this plant has gone it will open things up for other species, as rhododendron makes it very difficult for other plants to grow nearby. “In its absence we will have scrub plants, ferns and brambles which are great for other types of wildlife.”
Mrs Laking said a firm link to the past would be preserved in the new wood, as about 2,000 acorns have been collected from the area’s original oak trees, which will be used for the replacement oaks.
“The original oaks were planted in the 19th century by the Ferrand family, who owned St Ives for centuries,” she said. “So I think it’s good that we’ll be keeping this continuous thread of history going.”
She said the length of time it would take the new trees to mature could be gauged by nearby Memorial Wood, which she added was making very good progress after being planted 15 years ago.

Bingley is a market town in the metropolitan borough of the City of Bradford, in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Local travel links include Bingley railway station in the town centre and Leeds Bradford International Airport, which is located 10 miles (16 km) from the city centre. The B6265 (Main Street), connecting Bingley to Keighley, runs through the town centre. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Bingley appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Bingheleia.
Bingley was probably founded about the time of the Saxons; certainly its name is Saxon in origin. Bingley was founded by a ford on the River Aire. This crossing gave access to Harden, Cullingworth and Wilsden on the south side of the river. The ford was superseded by Ireland Bridge. In medieval times Bingley was a manor which extended several miles up and down the Aire valley, extending upstream to Marley on the outskirts of Keighley and downstream to Cottingley. Bingley became a market town with the grant of a Market Charter in 1212 by King John.
According to the poll tax returns of 1379, Bingley had 130 households, probably around 500 people. The nearby towns of Bradford, Leeds and Halifax had about half this population. At this time Bingley was the largest town in the area. No records tell of how Bingley fared in the Black Death that swept Europe in the 14th century. Approximately one third of all the people in Europe died of this plague, sometimes wiping out whole towns and villages. According to the 1379 Poll tax records, the nearby town of Boulton had no survivors worth taxing. It seems Bingley may have got off relatively lightly.
Like many towns in the West Riding, Bingley prospered during the Industrial Revolution. The Bingley section of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was completed in 1774, linking the town with Skipton, and Bradford via the Bradford Canal. The canal passes through the town centre and ascends the side of the valley via the Bingley Five Rise and Bingley Three Rise Locks.
The A650 trunk road passes through Bingley. Through traffic has been diverted onto the new dual carriageway avoiding the town centre. The road passes north-west to Keighley and south-east to Shipley and Bradford. Bingley is served by a number of bus services including the 619 between Bradford and Bingley, the 615 / 616 services between Bradford and Eldwick and the 622 / 623 services between Eldwick and Scholes operated by First West Yorkshire, the 662 between Bradford and Keighley, the 760 between Leeds and Keighley and the 727 / 729 services between Keighley and Cullingworth operated by Keighley Bus Company.
