Keighley is a town of 70,000 residents lying in the Aire valley in the south Pennines, 12 miles from Bradford and 13 miles from Halifax. Pronounced Keeth-ly, the town dates from the 9th century and prospered from the wool and cotton industries of the 18th and 19th centuries. Post-war, Keighley was extensively remodelled and lost many historic buildings. Fortunately, some fine Victorian architecture survived such as the terrace of houses along Cavendish Street with its 200 metre ornamental canopy; East Riddlesden Hall, a 17th century manor house now owned by the National Trust; and the gracious houses that line the road to Skipton.
