The History Society has just published the latest Keighley News Archive on its Flickr site – almost 700 photographs taken by Keighley News photographers in March 1983. Anything or anyone you recognise from forty years ago?
A big thanks to Billy Stride who scanned and processed all the negatives for us. Now we need to find time to visit Keighley Library to research old copies of the Keighley News to find out the stories behind the pictures!
Hello
Keighley Horticultural Society was founded in 1833 and so this year is celebrating it’s 190 birthday! This makes it one of the oldest Horticultural Societies in the country!
We’re hoping a gather archive information about the Society – memories, photographs, newspaper articles, artefacts (old schedules, programmes, certificates).
Can you help us with this?
I’ve been directed to your website by Colin Kirkham’s sister!
Hello Maggie. I’ve had a quick look through our archive and I’m afraid we don’t seem to have very much. The Society is mentioned in this booklet which might be helpful.
