It was a beautiful setting for this sewing party when they got together to make clothes for people in Finland in January 1940. The group met at Denton Hall, near Ilkley, to make garments as part of the war effort. In the Ilkley Gazette of January 19, the sewers were said to be members of the Denton Depot. Mrs Arthur Hill and Miss K Hill were pictured with the group, left, as they worked on a special consignment of goods for Finland. The garments shown were part of a large consignment, much of which had already been collected and dispatched.
