History of Bishop Auckland Photograpic Society
- A Brief History of Bishop Auckland Photographic Society
The club was formed in 1899 and is now the only club in the Northern Federation to have maintained continuous existence since that time. The first meetings took place in the Temperance Hotel and Coffee Palace, Newgate Street. Other venues have included: 11 Silver Street; 1 Silver Street and until 1968 the Grosvenor Club. In 1969 the Society moved to the Technical College and following a brief spell at the Wesleyan Chapel has met at the Lightfoot Centre since 1986.
The Society celebrated the centenary season with an exhibition at the Discovery Centre in the Market Place entitled “One Hundred Not Out”. This was accompanied by a detailed history of the club compiled by Cliff Howe which incorporated a cd of the photographs in the exhibition.
