‘Will The Last Person To Leave The 20 Century Please Turn out The Lights?’
First and foremost for anybody who has never heard of Baildon (mainly people south of Wakefield), just think ‘2 miles north of the World Heritage Site, Saltaire. I’m really looking forward to this event. To be honest it’s our first proper outing as a collective.

I got a view that stretched back over to Woolley Edge, reminding me of theContinue reading “‘Soul Searching’ – exhibition”
