Quite a number of German pork butchers settled in Keighley in the 19th century; names such as Andrassy, Pfeiffer, Hofmann and Schneider. Speaker Karl-Heinz Wüstner explains why the butchers and their families left their homeland and how they were able to succeed as immigrants in the town and in the wider West Yorkshire.
The talk is to be held in the Local Studies Library, upstairs at Keighley Library on Main Street, on Wednesday 1st October 2025. The event will start at 2.30pm and finish at 4.30pm. All are welcome. There will be a £2 entry cost (for History Society members and non-members), please pay on the door in cash. No need to pre-book.
This talk is a joint event between Keighley and District Local History Society and Keighley Local Studies Library. Please call the Library on 01535 618215 if you have any queries.
