In the late 1980s and early 1990s I was lucky enough to be appointed to a new post with Kirklees Council which initially involved running the Postcard Museum and Library in Holmfirth, as well as Holmfirth Civic Hall. I was fortunate that Kirklees already had an excellent Local Studies Librarian Jane Helliwell who looked after the collection of Bamforth & Co postcards. The Council's Graphic Design Unit also supported me as a librarian to assemble and put on a series of exhibitions at the Postcard Museum which was at the time a popular visitor attraction, alongside Sid's Cafe and Nora Batty's house. Conscious of the fact that the people of Holmfirth were less inclined to visit the museum, we opened our Keep Smiling exhibition with a 1940s evening featuring a local theatre company and serving a 1940s style supper. Photos of the exhibition are featured in the photo gallery.
