Shibden Industrial school
« on: Wednesday 25 May 16 08:02 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have done a google search and found various images of the school and its residents.  Does anyone know where I can obtain more  information and photographs please?    Can anyone point me to the relevant local library or perhaps a history society that might help my search?   Many thanks.

Calderdale library in Halifax, or Calderdale family history society.
