Welcome to Ilkley Civic Society
We are a local group interested in Ilkley past and present. We meet regularly to help preserve, develop, improve and research features of historic or public interest in Ilkley. We seek to promote high standards of planning and architecture and educate the public in geography, history, natural history and architecture. We also work with local schools and welcome people sharing information and memories about Ilkley. We reply to all enquiries. Come along to one of our public meetings or guided heritage walks or talks and find out more. Everyone welcome.
Next Highlights:
Thursday Oct 24 7.30pm Public meeting - Ilkley's New Wetlands with Nathan Lawson from Yorkshire Water
Saturday Oct 26 3pm Zoom - East Holmes and the New Bridge

Joining the Civic Society's Blue Plaque on Hillside is the first in a proposed English Heritage Blue Plaques series outside London. It commemorates Daphne Steele of whom many may have happy memories.
