Welcome to the award winning Ilkley Chat!
Ilkley author reveals Ilkley’s secrets!
Ilkley resident and author, Mark Hunnebell, has just published his latest book, Secret Ilkley, which goes behind the façades of the familiar to discover the lesser-known aspects of the town's long and illustrious past.
Mark, who runs White Wells, takes the reader on an enlightening and entertaining journey through the past, delving beneath the surface to reveal dark deeds and strange tales with long-forgotten facts and amusing stories.
Secret Ilkley lifts the lid on the hidden secrets that even most local people don’t know, charting the developments and changes that occurred in Ilkley during the second half of the nineteenth and throughout the twentieth century.
Mark will be talking about and signing copies of his new book at The Grove Bookshop on Thursday 26 September from 7pm.
