Hope Bank Works Open Day

Local group, Holme Valley Sharing Memories, is inviting residents from the Holme Valley to share their memories of Hope Bank Pleasure Grounds near Honley.

Residents are being encouraged to attend an open day from 1pm-4pm on Saturday 29th October at Hope Bank on Woodhead Road, just outside Honley on the main road to Holmfirth.

The event will give people an opportunity to find out more about the history of Hope Bank and bring any objects and stories along that might be of interest. There will also be plenty of activities for younger members of the family including opportunities to dress up, drawing and puppet making.

Sharing Memories staff will be on hand to record anecdotes of interest and local film maker Gopal Dutta will be capturing people’s stories on camera.

The event is part of a project called ‘Pleasure Park Stories’, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
