The second exhibition, Back in Settle, has been inspired by a Facebook group set up around three years ago by local man Mick Harrison to share stories and old photographs from the Settle area. There are now almost 1,600 people involved from all over the world.
The war exhibition runs until October 30 and Back in Settle until June 5.

Anna shares her Cross Hills studio with painter David Thomas, who will also be showing his work at Gavagan Art alongside new work by abstract landscape painter Jacquie Denby, who is based in Grassington. ”
The exhibition runs until Saturday, May 30.

It will be performed at Appletreewick Village Hall tonight at 7.30pm.
Written by Kate Bramley, formerly of Hull Truck Theatre, the play follows the lives of three women from the same rural
household – above and below stairs – through the long years of The Great War.
They are left behind to cope as their men-folk march off to Flanders. Each one faces up to the challenges in her own way,
with resilience, humour, a sense of duty and whatever vestiges of hope she can muster.
The Thankful Villages were those which lost no men in the Great War. There were only 52 settlements in England and
Wales which had this blessing.
The play features music from Jez Lowe. For tickets, call 01423 339168.
