Ilkley Blue Plaques (2020)
West Yorkshire, LS29 8HB
For the last 15 years, Ilkley Civic Society has been commemorating Ilkley’s notable citizens and important historic buildings in a series of blue plaques. The 20th blue plaque is about to be unveiled.
This year for Heritage Open Days, why not take a walk around Ilkley's tree lined streets and visit the site of each blue plaque? From the leafy, spacious boulevards of Wells Road and Queens Rd to the artisan town below the railway, you can discover our hidden history.
We suggest that you make your own way between the blue plaques, taking account of the weather, the steep roads and social distancing. You may need more than one walk to see all of the blue plaques.
Available anytime
West Yorkshire, LS29 8HB
Access is as for any visit to Ilkley Town centre with need to be aware of current Covid-19 and normal restrictions to pedestrian movement.
