Walks
Local walks to explore from different locations across the area. These will make use of and highlight the status of various rights of ways – but importantly, recite and explore any findings from the workshops.
The walks are also an opportunity to get creative with photography or anything else, which in turn could provide content for the workshops and, if you wish, this website. How about trying to recreate those old photo positions to compare then and now?
Workshops – just turn up!
These provide the opportunity to explain the rights of way status but importantly present and guide how to use the plethora of free online heritage resources.
There’s no need to be technology savvy – just come along, have a drink, browse some big old maps, point me at anything of interest to drive research with you or simply share your memories and maybe photos.
If you are in to tech, please bring along a laptop and join in!
I’ll have large poster prints of old maps plus a couple of spare laptops to browse photos I’ve taken at the West Yorkshire Archives.
Online pointers include old maps, census, parish records, 1800s newspapers, 1930s aerial photos, old photos, industry background, books, Facebook groups and more.
The workshops are also an ideal opportunity to promote other local community groups so please come along/get in touch to represent – e.g. running groups, walking groups, reclamation groups, social groups.
