Comparing Then and Now

History Society committee member Tim Neal will be giving his talk “Lilywhite Postcards: Then & Now” at Keighley Local Studies Library on Saturday 20th September from 2pm. Entry is free and no need to pre-book.

Tim has an extensive collection of postcards of the town and surrounding areas, and uses some of those produced by the company Lilywhite Ltd. in the 1910s to 1950s to compare the view from back then to the same view today in the 21st century.

The presentation is a joint event between the History Society and the Local Studies Library, and is being given as part of the Heritage Open Days season. There will also be photographs and plans of various major buildings in Keighley on display for visitors to browse.
