Exhibitions of our work over the years are listed in the 'Events' page but here are some images of our main displays, some of which were used on Keighley's Armed Forces Day and at The Keighley Show in the relevant years. These are displayed here in reverse order with our most recent exhibition at the top to save people scrolling down the page to see what's on at the moment. In case you're wondering why there are no people looking at these displays, We deliberately avoid taking photographs containing people in Keighley Library without permission, showing only the displays themselves. This is to respect privacy in a publicly owned building.
