MRS Margaret Kirk, headmistress of the old Drake and Tonson's School in Strawberry Street, presents a souvenir ivory knife to a dapper Alderman William Anderton Brigg, chairman of the Board of Governors, who has just laid a foundation stone in 1931 for what would become the Keighley Girls' Grammar School at Utley.
He had raised a laugh when he said the existing school "had never been in better fettle, never had a better headmistress, a better set of teachers, nor a better set of girls, than today".
The new Keighley Girls' Grammar School in Stoneycroft Lane would be officially opened in 1934 by the Right Honourable Viscount Halifax, president of the Board of Education.
It comprised 15 classrooms, a library, laboratories and gymnasium, facilities for art and domestic science, playing fields and five hard tennis courts.
