Keighley in the 1960s/70s

February’s History Society meeting is on Wednesday 14th February. It is open to everyone and will be held at Keighley Library. Artist Kevin Bell will be revisiting the town where he grew up to share his memories and show some of the paintings he has created of that time. Plenty of nostalgia accompanied by terrific evocative paintings.

The meeting is held upstairs in the Local Studies Library. Doors open at 7pm and Kevin’s talk will start at 7.30pm. If arriving after 7pm, please use the side door entrance on Albert Street. Admission is £3.50. Admission is free to History Society members, who also have the option of joining via Zoom (Zoom meeting details are sent out via email a few days in advance).

Zooming into the future

On Wednesday the 10th February 2021, the Society held it’s first Speaker’s Meeting via Zoom.

This first meeting was to an open meeting to help people find their way around our Flickr Site.

We started with a little update on the donations to the Archives , that we have received recently and then Tim started his presentation about 7:30.

The meeting was well attended, with both Members and Visitors. Steve controlled the meeting, so people could ask questions when they felt the need.

After the presentation the meeting was opened up for general discussion and information that was useful to others.

It was nice to see that once people got talking the conversations flowed as well as they normally do in the Library.

Tim has produced HOW TO guide to guide those of you who couldn’t join us around Flickr.

While the meeting was certainly different I think that we succeeded in making it fun.

Thanks to Steve and Tim for making the meeting possible.
