THE Museum of North Craven Life, The Folly in Settle, has set up a crowdfunding appeal to raise the £1,500 it needs to buy an ‘outstanding’ collection of photographs. The Horner Collection contains more than 1, 000 photographs which were taken by the Horner family who ran a studio in Settle for three generations from 1864 to 1960. Trustees have secured a V&A Purchase Grant which will cover half of the cost and are now racing to raise the match funding required before the end of the financial year. The photographs cover the changing faces and places of Settle and the surrounding area for almost 100 years. There are many original glass plate negatives, which need careful storage and conservation.
