Although it is only half an hour from Leeds and Bradford, Ilkley has retained its small-town atmosphere.

In this book, Alex Cockshott and Denise Shillitoe compare 100 old photographs with the scene today, bringing Ilkley's fascinating history to life. "Ilkley Past & Present" will be an essential purchase for visitors and residents alike.
