We are pleased to announce that local author John Avison will be attending our Fair on Saturday. He will be selling his book 'The Story of Armitage Bridge'
The book traces the Village history from prehistoric times to present, his key discovery is that everyone in the world with the surname Armitage has an ancestor who came from Armitage Bridge!
This will make a great Xmas gift!

Boxes, boxes everywhere. The preparation for our Fair takes several weeks. All this is for our own stands where we will have lots of new genealogical books, and used books that have been donated, many in excellent condition and some now out of print.

We will have exhibitions of Memorial Inscriptions work, research tables to help you break down your brick walls, and much more.

An interest in Huddersfield’s history and family history research anywhere in the world, then this is the place to be this coming Saturday at the Masonic Hall?
