  • Blue Plaque Trail 1
    TAKE A STROLL WITH THE U3A AND CIVIC SOCIETY ALONG ILKLEY’S BLUE PLAQUE TRAIL If you are looking for a purpose in your lockdown walk through Ilkley, you can do no better than to follow the trail of Ilkley’s blue plaque historic buildings. These are featured in two new talks offered by Ilkley & District U3A and Ilkley Civic Society given by leading local historian, Alex Cockshott. The online Zoom talks, in February and March, will be available to watch on the U3A’s website once they have occurred and are open to the general public. Through this collaboration with the U3A, Ilkley Civic Society hopes to broadcast the talks to a wider audience than those of the two organisations involved, so that everyone living in the town and surrounding area has access to this fascinating local history. Blue plaques were first erected in London in 1867 and are now in most historic towns. The Civic Society is responsible for developing the idea in Ilkley, and the Town Hall plaque was the first to be unveiled in June 2004. Since then, twenty plaques have been erected, the most recent in November 2020 at the Rombalds Apartments, formerly Rombalds Hotel, on Wells Road. The blue plaques celebrate the history of Ilkley and the buildings that have shaped the town. In her talks, Alex takes a walk back in time, to highlight some of the more interesting facts about the history of the buildings and the people who built or lived in them. The first presentation, in February, will look at ten blue plaque sites on a trail from the Town Hall up towards Ilkley Moor.
