Great coverage in this week’s Keighley News for this Wednesday’s meeting (Wednesday 10th June 2026, 7.15pm, Keighley Civic Centre), which will include a talk on the history of East Riddlesden Hall to be given by National Trust volunteer Chris Kates. All welcome – free to History Society members, £3.50 for visitors.

This was the last article for the History Society by Alistair Shand, who retired from the Keighley News on 29th May 2026 after 42 years with the newspaper. We’d like to express our thanks to Alistair for all his support over the years.
