Keighley From 1950 |
By Michael Taylor
Community worker Charlie Bhowmick is giving a talk and slideshow as part of Keighley Library's centenary celebrations.Detailing the changes to the town over a 50 years period, the talk will take place at the library itself on Tuesday, April 20 at 2.30pm. Originally from Calcutta, India, Charlie moved to Keighley when he was only 17. Invited to the Devonshire Street Congregational Church youth club, he converted to Christianity in 1955. It was through the church that he met his wife Cynthia, 65, and the couple have two sons.The 66-year old was the first Asian to work in local government in Keighley. A keen cricket fan, he threw himself into community projects on his retirement. He is now heavily involved with 'Inter-Faith', which was launched in 2000 to help bring the many groups in Keighley closer together and promote friendship and harmony. Charlie has also donated a copy of his slides to the library archive, as a permanent resource. |
