Keighley Bus Museum has managed to purchase their longstanding Riverside base.
A post in the 'Keighley Bus Museum Trust Ltd' Facebook group reads:
'KBMT press update;
As noted by Marlene earlier, it is with great pleasure that on Friday 9th February 2024 the Board of Directors of the Keighley Bus Museum Trust in Riverside Keighley received legal confirmation on the purchase of their current home on the Riverside estate off Dalton Lane Keighley culminating in a long process over a great many years.
The Board of Directors wish to thank our former Landlord in his help, our Riverside neighbours the people of Keighley and the media (particularly the Keighley News) in helping to highlight our plight which has brought this to a very satisfying conclusion.
To celebrate this milestone in our history, our first official public open day will take place on Sunday 5th May 2024, and will co-incide with the 100 year anniversary of the 1924 Keighley Clough, the World’s oldest surviving double deck trolleybus and will include free bus services of local buses running around Keighley. Included will be visiting car groups, stalls, refreshments and entertainments so please call down and see us and meet the Board for a great family day out.
More details will follow closer to the event and thank you.'
