During 1999 the Malhamdale Local History Group undertook a project to record all the houses and community spaces that existed in the parish of Kirkby Malhamdale.

It was decided that this record would consist of a black and white photograph plus brief details about the building or occupiers which were known to either the Group or the then occupiers. Permission was sought from all the occupiers, who were also encouraged to fill in a form recording anything they knew about the history of their property and who had lived there previously.

The results of this project were exhibited in the Dale before being placed in the Group’s archive, with a second copy of the records presented to Craven Museum for their collection.

We are now sharing this early KMLHG project via the website. The text has been lightly edited, with any known mistakes corrected.

We hope you enjoy browsing the gallery of villages / townships below:

• Otterburn

The complete Millennium Project has now been transferred and archived by ‘The Yorkshire Dales Community Archive’, a project set up by the charity Friends of the Dales. To view click on the link below.

Originally two cottages with the grocer’s shop run by the Carradice family in the attached wooden shed. A porch was added in 1975 and the cart shed on the left hand side was demolished to extend the house in 1991.
