Bingley
Black Combe
Rob Grillo's book Staying the Distance has a lot on Keighley Clubs
In the FRA Index:
Section 2 Bill Smith - 3 articles on the history of Clayton-Le-Moors
Section 4 of the same index includes several club histories
Section 8 refers to Rob Grillo's two 2005 articles on Fell Running Books which might refer to published club histories.
Don't forget "Ten Years of D.P.F.R." (1976-1986)
I started a thread about Fell Running Books a few years ago.
I must update it as there have been a few more books published since 2008.
