An account of the resource
The Hebden Bridge Local History Society was formed in 1949 and is a section of the Hebden Bridge Literary & Scientific Society which celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2005.
The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm.
The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month.
Donations to the archive are welcomed. Contributions of photos and documents, even from the recent past.
A catalogue of the Society's is available on their website..
One of the many projects the Society is currently working on is the Gibson and Sutcliffe papers. The materials had been lying in a room at Croft House in Hebden Bridge, undisturbed for over 50 years. One collection belonged to Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee and the other to Sutcliffe & Sutcliffe, architects.
Members of the Society are also transcribing gravestones in Heptonstall churchyard, providing easy access to local information for genealogists.

Description
An account of the resource
The sketch and description were originally published in The Halifax Courier in 1912-1913.
Built about 1610, Upper Willow Hall (that delightful old-world building at Cote Hill) is undoubtedly the successor of a much older building. Although in Skircoat Manor, it is thought to have been of such importance once as to have been the centre of a smaller manor. A family of the name of King, or Kinge, were the original owners and over what was once the front entrance (now a window) is inscribed ‘James Kinge builded this’. Wainhouses, Listers, Akeds and Dysons were in turn owners. The Dysons were cloth merchants and much of their work was done in the adjoining out-buildings, now a laundry. One part of the old hall belongs to and is occupied by Mr Enoch Hill, JP. Inside there has been much modernising, probably when alterations were made to that part facing Sowerby Bridge. The part to be seen from Burnley Road is untouched.
