- Keighley Local Studies Library
- Saturday 1st June
- 2.30pm -4.30pm
Well-known Local historian Eddie Kelly will discuss some of Keighley’s lost pubs, and there will be an opportunity for visitors to examine Archives including maps, plans and photos, of old hostelries in the town.
The study of Keighley’s pubs, some of Keighley’s oldest buildings, in turn reveals the progress and development of the town’s history and growth.
For example, how a pub landlord set a train of developments that directly led to the education of two of England’s greatest historians, both locally born and educated, Lord Asa Briggs and Sir Herbert Butterfield
Find out which pub the Brontes stayed in, and which was the scene of a Christmas murder.
This is a free event. No need to book.

Excellent exhibition. I’m a southerner. The ale there tastes like medicine. Sad to see pubs like the Ship, Cricketers, Grinning rat close.
Surely if other countries can keep hold of their heritage why can’t the UK.
It’s not all to do with money! Look at what happened during covid. Key workers were not those with money. In fact those who had the money and were not key workers were mostly idiots!
A real shame. Keighley was voted one of most deprived towns in UK. It’s like that because the people who live in it are not up in arms at what’s happened to their town.
It’s never too late. Always a bad thing to close pubs!
