photoILKLEY – is a grassroots photography festival, celebrating photography’s unique power to connect, to question, and to see the world anew.
Committed to making space for younger voices too, a key part of the festival is the Young Photographer Competition, inviting children and young people to share their own visions of Ilkley and the world, offering a vital platform for emerging talents and fresh perspectives.
The winning images from the competition form the basis of this exhibition. The Great Flood exhibition Suddenly, in the middle of a hot summer’s day, there was a violent thunderstorm over IlkleyMoor. It lasted several hours, turning the streets of the town into tributaries of the RiverWharfe. The exhibition describes the resulting devastation. The Wharfedale Airedale Observer from 20 July 1900 carried an extensive report much of which is used in the exhibition together with photographs from the time. The Exhibition is provided by Ilkley Civic Society’s Local History Hub.
