There will also be a shared display space in the local studies area of the library on the second floor. This will be developed to tell the story of Henry Moore’s early life.
Featuring in the display will be
the Castleford Notebook by Albert Wainwright. Henry met and befriended
Albert at Castleford Secondary School. They remained firm friends until
Albert’s untimely death in 1943.
The notebook illustrates a colourful mixture of street
scenes, factories and industry, plus drawings of classrooms at Castleford
Grammar School, many places that Moore would have been familiar with when he
was growing up in the town in the 1920s:
