The Bradford Dyers Association purchased Bleasdale House in 1921 and used it as a convalescence home and as a memorial to member who had died in the Great War. In the 1911 Census William Sharp and family lived in Bleasdale House and during the war it was used as an auxiliary hospital. It is currently a school for pupils with learning difficulties (2015).
