We are presenting original World War One recruitment posters for the Holmfirth and Huddersfield area and 32 photographs of young men from the Holme Valley area who had joined up various regiments to go off and fight. They styled themselves “The Holme Valley Lads”. On one poster they are all shown on horseback appealing to other young men to “Fall in and join the ride to Berlin”.

These original photographs were found hidden away in the back of an undisturbed room here at The Picturedrome. Inside it was a box that looked as if it had lain there undisturbed for at least sixty years, possibly more.

Holme Valley Lads

Please come down to the cinema to view the full collection

The pictures are in excellent condition and all of the men’s names and Regiments are clearly marked on each one. Local historians are now busily researching Army and other archives to determine what became of these young men during the Great War. An appeal is also going out to families in the Holme Valley and Huddersfield area to come and view all of the photographs and posters which are now on permanent display at the Holmfirth Picturedrome upstairs in the Balcony Bar.

When can I view the pictures?
Please come down to the cinema 30 minutes before any film for a private viewing
(check film times here).

Also, the pictures are on display when the Balcony Bar is open during certain gigs.
