A COUPLE who met and married in their home village of Honley have celebrated their golden wedding.

Brian and Thelma Hinchliffe married at St Mary's Church - after meeting while walking home from work each day.

They lived in adjoining streets in Honley and used to see each other almost every day.

The couple still live in Honley, in Scotgate Road.

Mr Hinchliffe spent all his working life as a joiner and still enjoys it as a hobby.

His wife worked for many years in local textile mills.

They have a daughter, two sons and two granddaughters.

They celebrated the anniversary with a family party.
