Today, preoccupied, I said to a visiting child who I was about to take
home, "Have you got all your your trankliments?" Meaning toys, shoes,
phones, etc.

Is this word in use in other areas, or is it just Yorkshire?

Hardly surprising, given it's an English regional dialect word. OED2
has "trinklements" which it says is a Lancashire word meaning
"trinkets, knick-knacks".

According to Wright's 1896 "The English Dialect Dictionary" a bit wider:

TRANKLIMENT, sb. Cum. Wm. Yks. Chs. Shr. Also
written tranklyment Yks.; and in forms tranklement
Yks. Shr.1; trantlement Cum.14 Wm. [tra·ŋkliment,
tra·ŋklimənt.]

1. A trinket, knick-knack, ornament; a toy;
useless article. Cf. trantle, sb.1 2, trinklements.

Etymology

Coined in its current sense by the English cookery writer Dorothy Hartley in her book Food in England in 1954, but probably derived from a similar dialect word with variant spellings (e.g. tranklement, tanchiment) used before that date across North and Central England and meaning "ornaments, trinkets; bits of things".
Noun

tracklement (plural tracklements)

(Britain, rare) A savoury condiment (for example a mustard, relish or chutney), especially one served with meat.

As it was possibly written by Bill (or just maybe his forbears) he
probably has a number of copies that were presented by his publisher.

Which half ? Top half, bottom half ?

Left half, right half ?

Front half, back half ?

Bet it’s the back half.

Those buggers are to tight to use bits of two words.

I've only ever come across it in Yorkshire. A few miles up the M1 from
you its 'tranklements - with an 'e' not an 'i'.

A few miles south of you into Derbyshire and it was never heard and had
to be explained.

While Joseph Wright came from Bradford he had no issue who survived
beyond childhood so he can't be one of Bill's forebears as such.
Possibly a collateral. Not to mention a bloody clever bloke who went
from illiterate mill worker to Oxford professor.
