Keighley Bus Museum Trust is having a “twilight running day” this Sunday (28 October) between 12 noon and 7pm. Some of the museum’s vintage buses will be running between the museum at Riverside (off Dalton Lane), and Keighley Railway Station, Keighley Bus Station and Keighley Town Centre. The museum will be open, where there will be transport related stalls, refreshments and toilet facilities available. As darkness draws in, visitors can relive the memories of night travels on heritage buses. More information is available on the KBMT website (http://www.kbmt.org.uk/special-events/twilight-running-day/)

Just a reminder that the History Society’s monthly guest speaker talk for October is happening this coming Wednesday (10th October). Following his talks on the Romans and the Vikings in Yorkshire, Mark Steel moves on to talk about the Anglo-Saxons in Yorkshire. The talk happens upstairs in Keighley Library. Doors open at 7pm and the talk starts at 7.30pm and lasts for approximately one hour. An access lift is available. Coffee and tea are served. Admission is £3 (£1 for History Society members) and all are welcome.

November’s meeting is the AGM for History Society members only, then December is the return of Kathryn Hughes to talk about rationing in World War One.

As part of the Heritage Open Days weekends, Keighley Shared Parish Church will be open on Friday & Saturday (14th/15th September) for people to come and look around this Grade 2 listed building. Some of the church’s wedding and baptism registers will also be available to view.
