In this instalment of Bradford Through The Lens, we look at a horrific crime that took place in the1960s.
This was a missing child case that occurred in 1962 but was not solved until a curious dog unearthed remains in 1988. Stephen Jennings was just three years old when his father reported him missing in the West Yorkshire village of Gomersal, a few miles outside of Bradford

Beautifully done. I was eight when Steven died, I lived just the other side of Cleckheaton, and I can still remember being very frightened, because no one was arrested, and rumours being what they are, many believed that a murderer walked among us all. Surprisingly, he did, for years. RIEP Steven

I lived a few 100 yards away and used the path on 100,s of occasions as a teen in the 70,s unknowingly walking passed the remains of Stephen. Did you know that the detective leading the enquiry at the time was asked all those years later if he wanted to make the journey to arrest the father even though he was retired...

If it's the Second West pub at Lidget Green, I was told many years ago that the Second West Yorkshire Regiment marched away from here to the first world war. Apparently there was a plaque in the pub but I don't know if it's still there.
