The success of Silsden Local History Group has astounded its founders.
In just a few months, it has grown from fewer than half a dozen members to the largest and fastest growing group in the town, with more than 60 people attending its last meeting at the town’s Methodist Church.
“We are obviously meeting a real need in Silsden,” said chairman David Mason. “There seems to be a great desire to remember and record the town's wonderful heritage for future generations.”
The next meeting on Monday, April 22 will look at the origins of Silsden’s roads, tracks and waterways.
