Moses Heap in Hebden Bridge - 27 July, 1895, in the afternoon
from My Life and Times, or An Old Man's Memories, pages 60–61:
July 27, 1895, the choirs met at Hebden Bridge and as the Society’s chapel was too small, the friends obtained the use of the Baptist Chapel much larger. We travelled thereto in Waggonettes, there were about the same number of items on the programme as on the other occasions.

Notes
An annual ‘friendly gathering’ of church choirs of the particular Baptist society had begun in August 1891, when choirs from Manchester and Goodshawfold met together to walk in the countryside and sing (see Listening Experience 1657883272536) The gathering grew rapidly in subsequent years until choirs from a very wide Lancashire area were involved (and, on this occasion at least, Yorkshire).
