ARTEFACTS that used to be on display in the heritage space of Ilkley Manor House but were taken into safe keeping in 2015 by Bradford Council are at last being returned to the town. “The large display cabinet in the Heritage Room housed over 70 artefacts,” said John Cockshott, Trustee of the Ilkley Manor House Trust and Chairman of the Friends of Ilkley Manor House. “They are part of the story of the town and its development and so it is important that they are back on display for our visitors. “It has taken a long time to negotiate their return and this period has been extended by the lockdowns during 2020 and 2021 but the Board is delighted that they are coming back.”
Ilkley Manor House will host a range of arts organisations for Summer in the Courtyard

The Cross, in Oakenshaw, was severely damaged yesterday morning after a collision involving a HGV. The stone structure, which is situated at the junctions of Cross Street, Sykes Lane and Wyke Lane, is Grade-II listed and more than 300 years old. It had stood the test of time until Tuesday when the impact with the lorry caused part of the bottom of the structure to completely come away from the main body. Rather than stop though, the HGV continued on its way. Ashley D Carrion was right behind the large vehicle when the collision happened. She said: I was driving down Wyke Lane towards Oakenshaw.
