History   
Batley Photographic Society was originally founded in 1897 and was one of twelve founder members of the Yorkshire Photography Union (YPU). 
Membership now numbers over 60 clubs.
Reformed as Batley & District Camera Club in 1952, after the Second World War, Batley members were leaders in the production of fine black & white photographs from their earliest days and later, in the 1950s, embraced the new technology of colour printing and colour transparencies.
Once again Batley has evolved and joined the digital revolution and is now equipped with a full digital darkroom.
