Welcome to the November issue of the Ossett & Horbury Review.Christmas seems to have sneaked up very quickly this year, or perhapstime is whizzing by because I’m getting old! To get you in the Christmas mood, we’ve included the pick of theChristmas books, courtesy of Rickaro Books in Horbury because booksare still one of the all time great gifts - top of my list every time. For the non-book lovers, we’ve also included a reminder of the widevariety of shops in Ossett & Horbury that are ideal for your Christmasshopping. When you think about the shops on your doorstep, yourealise just how much shopping you can do locally, without having tobrave the malls. Some of our advertisers this month are promoting some greatChristmas offers and events, such as The Fleece, Rickaro Books, LucyArt, Envy Windows and The Beauty Spa - check out the adverts for moredetails. Our Diary page also has details of local events for the nextcouple of months.To mark the remembrance of our brave soldiers killed in war, we’ve alsoincluded details of the work of local man, Eric Howard, in restoring theWar Memorial at the bottom of Manor Road, Ossett. He has done aremarkable job and his work is a great tribute to the men who lost theirlives in war.A big thank you as ever to our advertisers for making the Ossett &Horbury Review possible. Please remember to mention the magazinewhen responding to adverts.

Ossett and Horbury, with their own unique identity,

offer a wonderful variety of shops - great if you’re

looking for that special gift and no battling with the

crowds and queuing in traffic that is often the case

with the bigger cities and shopping malls. With an

abundance of cafes and restaurants both towns have

a genuine friendly atmosphere.

The shopping experience can actually be quite

pleasurable, even to the die hard shopping-phobics -

with shopkeepers who actually know your name,

remember you from last time you went in and make

time to chat. Many local shops will offer that extra

customer service to ensure you find what you are

looking for.

With this year’s financial uncertainty, many familiies

are cutting back or at the very least trying to spread

the cost by starting their shopping early. With pennies

counting more than ever this year, why make repeated

trips into crowded city and shopping centres when a

fair amount of your shopping can be done locally.

Make time to browse the local shops, speak to the

shopkeepers and explain what you’re looking for. I

think you’ll be surprised at how much Ossett and

Horbury has to offer.

In Ossett, great gifts can be found at C & J

Armitage’s in the Wellgate, a treasure trove of gifts

and the best selection of jigsaws and traditional games

that I’ve seen in a long time, sitting happily alongside

their artist supplies, prints and frames.

If jewellery is your thing, make JJ Deans and Martin

Brummitts a port of call - both great for giving

inspiration as well as a great service.

Other shops which you really must call into include

Chocoholics, for the specialists chocolates, Special

Thoughts and House of Empress for your cards and

gift wrap and Angel Gifts for a whole range of gift

ideas. Red Balloon in the Wellgate is fabulous if there

is a baby in the family - the quality of babywear in this

shop really must be felt to be appreciated. And for the

more grown up - Dirt Corp Clothing in the Wellgate

has brought really trendy brand names into the town

centre.

In Horbury, The Gift Shop on the Hight Street, is

well worth a visit as is the Roundhouse, which smells

divine as you walk in. Both have some really different

gifts for you to choose from. Rickaro Books has long

been a favourite of ours, both because we love books

and because the owner, Richard Knowles is so helpful

and obliging. If there’s a book you’re looking for, he’ll

find it for you - if ever there was a shop that could

provide a gift for just about anyone, it’s Rickaro Books.

And the bonus of Christmas is that Richard always

has stock of signed copies of popular books - making

a lovely gift that bit more special. But be warned, the

signed copies always sell really well - don’t leave it too

late!

Portmans Jewellers and Mackay and Pearson are

both fabulous shops to visit and I doubt you’ll leave

either shop without having found a gift or two.

Portman Jewellers have so much more than just

jewellery, it’s a real aladdins cave and Mackay and

Pearsons can custom make a piece of jewellery or a

set to your specification - how special is that? A

unique, custom made piece of jewellery to show just

how much you care.

If it’s floral gifts you’re looking for, there are some

excellent florists in Ossett and Horbury. Amaryllis in

Ossett and Blackburns in Horbury are both Interflora,

which means you can order a gift for someone living

elsewhere in this country, or even abroad, and be

confident that the quality will be spot on. Being

Interflora florists means that both shops also have to

work to extremely high standards with their local

deliveries.

And for the bakers, if you need sugarcraft supplies

to get on with your Christmas cake, Cakes and

Favours in Ossett will certainly have just what you’re

looking for. I don’t know how they do it, but everytime

I go in there, they have even more to choose from.

Sue, is always happy to help with advice and may

even let you in on some trade secrets.

For Foodies amongst you, The Black Olive in

Horbury is an amazing delicatessen at which you can

buy delicious olives, unusual pickles and vinegars and

a whole raft of foods that make your mouth water by

just looking at the packaging. Hampers can be made

up for gifts and can be tailored to your specifications -

call in and ask for details.

Hopefully, we’ve managed to give you a bit of a

taste of what Ossett and Horbury can offer. The shops

mentioned are really only half the story, but you’ll have

to visit yourself to find out the rest. Happy Shopping!

In the graveyard near to the bottom of Manor Road in

Ossett is a War Memorial to local men who lost their

lives during World War I. It is a simple wooden cross

set in a cairn with a plaque containing the names of

the fallen soldiers.

The wooden cross had fallen into a poor state of

disrepair over the years and the plaque was in need

to cleaning to enable visitors to clearly read the

names on it. A local man, Eric Howard, stepped

forward to volunteer his time and expertise to replace

the wooden cross and re-point the cairn. He also

cleaned the plaque.

A service of dedication was attended by members

of the Royal British Legion (Horbury, Sitlington &

Ossett Branch), church members and interested

members of the public. After gathering in the car park

of the Fleece Inn on Spa Street, members of the

Royal British Legion marched to the Graveyard

where the Service of

Dedication was held to

acknowledge the work

and dedication that has

enabled visitors to reflect

on the personal

sacrifices made by the

soldiers in the hope of

making the world a

better place.
