Thank you very much indeed to the Museum staff for your kind help and cooperation when I was researching this page. It is much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the page. --Storye book (talk) 22:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2013 closure[edit]

As of July 2014 the museum is still closed. The grounds are seriously overgrown and the notice on the front door says the following:

Bracken Hall Countryside Centre is currently closed. As a result of the budget decision taken by Council in the face of the severe financial pressures facing local government we have had to cease direct operation of Bracken Hall Countryside Centre from March 28 2013. We are continuing to consider alternative management options for the centre and we are in discussions with Baildon Parish Council about the possibility of a community led approach that may lead to its re-opening later in the year. (Signed by Tony Stephens, Bradford Council's assistant director for museums and galleries.)

I sincerely hope that the museum will get a new start. Whether or not the museum can or will be re-opened, I hope that the article can remain as a memorial of the excellent facility that it was, and as an example to other such facilities. --Storye book (talk) 18:51, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Bracken Hall Countryside Centre and Museum/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

== More seasonal outdoor images of the site needed ==

When this article was created, its outdoor photographs had all been taken at the end of May. It now needs more outdoor photos of flora, fauna or landscape as follows:

Midsummer photos
Autumn photos
Winter Photos
Early spring photos

== More information about local oral history ==

Any local history or legend which is in the public domain would be useful here.

== More inline references ==

Any new information will need references, preferably with internet links.
