Information is
divided into groups under the local township names for easy navigation. Just select the Village that interests you from the navigation buttons and see what is available.
The site is based on the historic ecclesiastical Parish of Kirkby in Malhamdale, but we also have some information on other nearby townships that fit socially and geographically within the area (Coniston Cold, Eshton, Winterburn and Bordley).
Don't forget to look at the Malhamdale page for more general information about the area.
The dedicated Malhamdale Local History Group section contains an interesting variety of projects for you to look at, plus full information about the group's activities.
Quick Search will rapidly find references to family names or places, with advanced search options available on the main Search page, however it doesn't search our Malhamdale People Finder database or the Forum, so these need to be searched separately.
New pages and more information are being added frequently, so remember to check the What's New page or subscribe to our RSS feed.
Finally if you have any queries or comments visit the Forum and leave us a message.

Some members of the Local History Group are undertaking a project to look at the range of non-agricultural businesses and trades that have been undertaken in the Dale over the years.
J Carradice, Grocer, Airton
Today there are only a few shops and business premises left offering a limited selection of goods and services, but in the past there has been a great variety, varying in size from cotton mills to handloom weavers and individuals making straw hats and skewers.
The last shop in Airton
The History Group would be very pleased to hear from anyone who has information about individual businesses or who have any photographs, old bills, advertisements or similar ephemera depicting Malhamdale businesses or business people.
