About us

The West Bridgford and District Local History Society (WB&DLHS) was formed in 1976 and since then has been active in the historical study of West Bridgford’s institutions, people and buildings. The Society currently has 120 members.

Meetings are held at 7.30 pm on the first Friday of each month from October to April in the Julien Cahn Pavilion, West Park, West Bridgford when talks are given on subjects of local history interest. Outings to places of historical interest are arranged from May to September and a Christmas lunch rounds off each year.

WB&DLHS is affiliated to the Nottinghamshire Local History Association and members receive a copy of the Nottinghamshire Historian twice a year.

Three of our members are available to give talks on subjects of local history interest to groups or schools. With their contact telephone numbers they are:
Peter Hammond 0115 9145520, David Mellor 0115 9141838 and Geoffrey Oldfield 0115 9234834
