Some of the older generations of Haworth, will remember the previous occupants of this dwelling. Once upon a time 22 Main Street was an indoor market, then another time it was a painters and decorators (Whittakers), it’s also been a home to many (and a home-from-home), some of whom aren’t quite ready to leave this astral plane yet. What hasn’t changed is the strong sense of place in the community.
Spooks was established in 1983 by Stan & Shirley Ledgard, with the intention of creating a spiritual hub that caters to peoples bespoke spiritual needs. They provided a welcoming bookshop, with a specific type of stock, with the aim to reassure people that ‘ghosts’ were not necessarily scary and witchcraft was not necessarily malevolent. Stan’s idiosyncratic personality served him well and people remember him for this!
