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. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Hebble End, Hebden Bridge - HLS01009 Subject The topic of the resource Canal, Canals, Chimney, Chimneys, Churches_&_Chapels, Hebden Bridge, Locks, Mayroyd, Mill, Places, School, Transport Description An account of the resource This photograph was taken in the closing years of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th. The Rochdale Canal running from the bottom left to the top right makes a useful guide to the town as it was then. The road over the narrow bridge at the bottom has come up from Hebble End bridge and after crossing the canal forks left to Fairfield and right to Horsehold. The small building nestling under the bridge wall was the workshop of a plumber usually called Billy Putty and the larger building was the Neptune Inn where the first meeting to consider a canal was held, and where the Inquiry which resulted in the formation of Hebden Bridge as a single unit was held in 1866. The large mill was Melbourne Mill, now the site of the supermarket, and Brunswick Mill is behind it. Beyond that is the new Central School with its new stonework showing up against the darker mill buildings. A second storey has been added to the school in 1895 which helps to date the picture, as does the open field next to it which became the site of the Grammar School (now Riverside) in 1908. In the background, the arches help to identify Stubbings School (opened 1878) and the frontage of Hope Chapel is quite clear, again looking on to open fields. From a glass slide.
