Two events of local interest…

Two events of local interest are happening in the next few days…

Firstly, Keighley Local Studies Library is launching a new town trail this Saturday (3rd December). The trail guides people around the town pointing out various landmarks that the Brontës would recognise. History Society members Eddie Kelly and Gina Birdsall have been involved in its creation. To celebrate the launch, Irene Lofthouse (who spoke to the Society earlier this year) is leading a guided tour around the town. There are still some spaces available on the tour and these can be booked by telephoning Keighley Library on 01535 618215.

Secondly, and slightly further afield, friend of the Society Sharon Wright (who spoke this year on balloonist Lily Cove and is booked to speak again next year) is speaking at Woodhouse Grove School near Apperley Bridge on 6th December. Tickets available via the school’s website.
