Addingham.info

Welcome to the Addingham Village information website.

Addingham is in West Yorkshire in the North of England three miles south of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Our aim is to 'do what it says on the tin' - to be a one stop shop for information about the village, its history and its surroundings, in conjunction with our sister site www.ilkley.org which covers the Ilkley area (three miles east of Addingham).

We hope that you will be able to find whatever you want to know about Addingham and what there is to do here, whether you are a resident, visitor or just looking for somewhere interesting. If you can't find it (using the Search bar at the top) please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Using the menu on the left (and the sub-menus which will appear below it) you will find a vast store of information about the following, and more:-
(a) events in the village and the organisations behind them.

(b) local businesses and places to eat, drink or stay.
(c) the history of Addingham and of the Schools.
(d) places around for day trips or walks.

There is a search box at the top of each page to find things quickly.

Thanks for looking around - please let us have your comments and suggestions for further improvements.

This photo from the Archive shows Mount Hermon Chapel shortly after it was built in 1861.

The shop on the corner of Bolton Road later became Martins Bank but was demolished in the 1960s.

 

 Shopping in Addingham over the years.

I have attempted the impossible - to make a list of all the shops and other businesses that have served villagers in the past and up to the present HERE.

I realise that this cannot be complete but at least it's better than nothing.

If you can make corrections, add more information or answer any of the numerous question marks, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Thanks.
