HIDDEN BRITAIN
The Discover Dentdale Hidden Britain
Centre closed on the 3rd March 2008, 5 years after it was
opened when the lease for the Bier Room expired. During
that time, many people visited the Centre and hopefully,
discovered some of the history and about the lives of the
folk of Dentdale.

LOCATION
The centre was in a room next to the Tower of St.
Andrew's Church. Although part of the church building,
it was completely separate from the worship area and has
it's own separate access. A new path was laid in
the churchyard to provide full disabled access to the
room from the Main Street in the village.

ABOUT THE DISPLAY
The local community donated a considerable
quantity of locally produced artwork, old photographs
and data.
The display panels include a village plan and history of
Dent village and linear plan and history of the Dale, an
Adam Sedgwick panel and a wild life and wild flowers
panel.
The information was put in
leaflet form for people to take away and explore Dentdale, and included
more information than on the panels. |
