Ilkley Civic Society

We are a local group interested in Ilkley past and present .

We aim:

·        To promote high standards of planning and architecture.

·        To educate the public in the geography, history, natural history and architecture.

·        To secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic or public interest in Ilkley.

   We research local history through architecture, planning applications and local families.

   We guide local heritage walks through the summer. We can provide individual guided walks for visiting groups by arrangement.

   We give  illustrated talks, e.g. lost buildings of Ilkley, schools through the years in Ilkley, from village to town and Ilkley past and present.

    We are developing a digital record of photographs, postcards, maps and other data.   This includes planning applications for buildings from their introduction in Ilkley  in 1869.

We are investigating renamed streets, houses, lost buildings, hydros, schools, gravestones and old Ilkley families and businesses.

           We welcome people sharing information and memories about Ilkley and  we reply to any enquiries.
