Thanks indeed to Doug for arranging a wonderful day and inviting Jan and I from Keighley Schools Heritage and that our display was so appreciated. We are honoured that we are both now deemed honorary 'old boys'! Now we are Raiders of the Lost Archive!
I think next year should be in school uniform!

I understand that the hunt is on for Old School Ties, in particular the 4 ties of differing colours relating to the 4 Houses( ie Red(Barrett), Yellow(Brigg),Purple(Longsden)and Blue(Smith). Surely there cannot be any of these still hanging around in the back of an old wardrobe somewhere. Can there? Contact David Kirkley if you find one.

I have the Longsdon version of the tie, in very good nick actually as the "new" (uniform) uniform was introduced during my first year at the school. I'll be very happy to donate it, but how do I get it to David Kirkley?

My green and white striped tie I think is at my Dads house, but he might also have my house tie still. But its also Mauve - I was Longsdon House Secretary in my last full year). He also has the 'coat of arms ' Prefects badge, and I think a small 'bar' shaped badge coloured Mauve, I cant recall what these were for - did we get them when the tie changed to green/white for all ?

FAO DAVID KIRKLEY;

David, I have attempted to make contact by email with the K & D Local History Society but the email address is invalid.

Can you advise me whether the Society has a copy of the pamphlet:

'A Description of the Coat of Arms and Civic Regalia of the Borough of Keighley' or not?

If not then I will scan it and email it to you (if you can provide a valid email address.

I must admit that the image of Lund Park at the top of your 'Home' page is excellent! Pity it's not like that now!
