Acknowledgements

The Canterbury Warriors

We are the Canterbury Warriors

We stay out late at night

If anybody dare come near us

There’s sure to be a fight

Last night we were in trouble

Tonight we are in jail

We’re doing six months’ hard labour

For pulling a donkey’s tail

Way back whoa back

Come and get yer money back

Pea and pies for supper

Our old lass has plenty of brass

And we don’t give a bugger!

(Anon.)

Note by the Author

My name is Julie Shaw, and my father, Keith, is the only surviving member of the 13 Hudson siblings, born to Annie and Reggie Hudson on the infamous Canterbury Estate in Bradford. We were and are a very close family, even though there were so many of us, and those of us who are left always will be.

I wanted to write these stories as a tribute to my parents and family. The stories are all based on the truth but, as I’m sure you’ll understand, I’ve had to disguise some identities and facts to protect the innocent. Those of you who still live on the Canterbury Estate will appreciate the folklore that we all grew up with: the stories of our predecessors, good and bad, and the names that can still strike fear or respect into our hearts – the stories of the Canterbury Warriors.
