Low Moor Local History Group::

Low Moor Local History Group meets on the 1st Friday of each month at Aldersgate Methodist Church, Common Road, Low Moor, Bradford. BD12 OTW.  £2.00 per session from September Meetings 2.30 to 4pm

 

Low Moor Local History Group was started in 1995 when we realised that many memories were in danger of being lost forever as people grew older and passed away.  Some of our first meetings were workshops where memories were recorded and photos scanned.  Over the years our membership has grown and another “generation” now attends.

We have an impressive lending library available at meetings and our members are always keen to try and identify faces on photographs which turn up from time to time. This has been particularly evident when we have published books and our members have managed to put names to several group photographs.  Follow these links for details of our publications
