The Menston Heritage Group was set up in the Autumn of 2022 in response to Bradford being awarded City of Culture 2025. Since then the group has gathered lots of information relating to Menston and has use of a room at the library for the archive material. It will be accessible by arrangement in the near future.

The picture above shows group members, Marilyn Suzanne and Hazel in April 2025, when the group launched the Menston Heritage Trail – a walk from the station, along Main Street and then over to the park and High Royds, detailing information about local people and places. The walk leaflets are available at the library and various shops, outlets within Menston and also across the district, encouraging more people to find out about the village and its history.

The group has also created a timeline giving details about the development of the village and has researched the lives and work of people connected with Menston. Please click on the links in the timeline document below:
