TOWN HALL RESEARCH SESSIONS:

​

On most Tuesdays following the Monday meetings, research facilities are available in Silsden Town Hall located directly across the road from the Methodist Church. You will have access to the Town's archive materials, which are kept there. These are drop-in sessions and someone will be on hand to help with inquiries concerning local and family history matters. If you have a specific request, than an email (via 'contact us') stating how we might help before you come would give us time to locate any appropriate resources. You are, of course, welcome to just turn up for a chat. There is a pay and display car park close by in the centre of town. There is a request for a small donation to help pay for the hire of the room.
