J B Priestley (1894-1984)
John Boynton Priestley was born at Manningham, Bradford in the West Riding of Yorkshire. His father, Jonathan, was a schoolmaster and his mother, Emma, had worked in one of Bradford’s woollen mills. She died when John was just two years old and he was brought up by his father’s second wife, Amy, who treated him kindly.
