A new group is being set up to push on with plans for a heritage survey in an area of the Aire Valley.

The idea was floated by the Friends of Northcliffe group earlier this year and members were delighted when 50 people turned up to an initial meeting about the project.

The Shipley-based organisation has since met again and John Bromley has been appointed as project co-ordinator.

A working group to plan how the survey – looking at the Northcliffe area’s coal mining and brickmaking history – will be pulled together will be set up and meet in January.

Residents are also being asked to contact Mr Bromley with any ideas they have for the project.

To attend the meeting, on January 22, at 7pm at the meeting room, Shipley Bowling Club, Rae Road, contact john.ncl@hotmail.co.uk.
