Thu Apr 23 7.30pm Meeting AGM Illustrated talk Church House
The subject of the illustrated talk will be "60 years of Volunteering with Ilkley Civic Society"Sat Apr 25 2pm Walk to see Spa Hydro Meet at Manor House
We will be stepping back in time to re-imagine the Victorian village, walking up to the old Green Lane (now The Grove) then a rural location, to imagine The Grove Hydro which was renamed in the 1880s to be The Spa. It was demolished a century later to be replaced by an apartment block which was designed to reflect the original building. The café konditorei is still remembered by older residents.
See you there!
