Has anyone got any old photos of Elland to look at.

My ancestor born in Kirkburton lived here in 1829  & I would love to see how it looked in those days.

There is a book called `Elland revisited ` written by Brian Hargreaves (prisident of the Greater Elland Historical Society)
published by Tempus publishing ltd. 

I wouldn`t really say that Elland was nr Barnsley
It`s in Calderdale near Halifax

Thanks for information.  I don't know why I thought that it was near Barnsley...should have looked at map before posting this request.

Also thank you Pauline for web link to old photos ...they were just what I was looking for.




                    Regards to you both
