The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm. The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month. Donations to the archive are welcomed. Contributions of photos and documents, even from the recent past. A catalogue of the Society's is available on their website.. One of the many projects the Society is currently working on is the Gibson and Sutcliffe papers. The materials had been lying in a room at Croft House in Hebden Bridge, undisturbed for over 50 years. One collection belonged to Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee and the other to Sutcliffe & Sutcliffe, architects. Members of the Society are also transcribing gravestones in Heptonstall churchyard, providing easy access to local information for genealogists. Still Image A static visual representation.

The Rochdale Canal running from the bottom to the top right makes a useful guide to the town as it was then. The road over the narrow bridge at the bottom has come up from Hebble End bridge and after crossing the canal forks left to Fairfield and right to Horsehold. The small building nestling under the bridge wall was the workshop of a plumber usually called Billy Putty and the larger building was the Neptune Inn, which doubled as a canal warehouse, where the first meeting to consider a canal was held, and where the Inquiry which resulted in the formation of Hebden Bridge as a single unit was held in 1866. The large four storey mill became known as Melbourne Mill, is now the site of the supermarket, with Salem Mill next to it. Beyond that is the new Central School with its new stonework showing up against the darker mill buildings. A second storey was added to the school in 1895 which helps to date the picture, as does the open field next to it which became the site of the Grammar School (now Riverside) in 1908. In the background, the arches help to identify Stubbings School (opened 1878) and the frontage of Hope Chapel is quite clear, again looking on to open fields. Central Dyeworks is adjacent to the canal just before the further bridge which is near to Black Pit lock and it at the end of what is now Holme Street.
