- Located in the county of West Yorkshire, and around 10 miles northwest of Bradford, is the town of Keighley (pronounced 'KEITH-lee').
The name 'Keighley' derives from 'Cyhha' and 'leah', meaning 'Cyhha's farm/woodland clearing' ('Cyhha' is an Old English personal name). In 1305 Keighley was granted a market charter by Edward I.
Set around the scenic Yorkshire Dales within the Pennines, Keighley is situated near the confluence of the River Aire and River Worth. It has a centuries-long history as a textile manufacturing town. In addition to producing garments from wool and cotton, Keighley has been the home to several factories making the textile machinery itself. Some industry names founded in the town include Dean, Smith & Grace, George Hattersley & Son and Prince, Smith & Stell. The latter two were founded in the late 18th century, playing a key role in the Industrial Revolution.
Just three miles southwest of Keighley is the village of Haworth. This is where the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne grew up. Each would go on to write famous 19th century novels. Wuthering Heights, in particular, by Emily Brontë, took much inspiration from the local landscape. The cultural impact of the novels led to the coining of the term 'Brontë Country', in reference to Haworth and the surrounding areas, making it a pilgrimage area for fans of the Brontë sisters.
In 1904 Scottish-American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie opened the first Carnegie Library in England, right here in Keighley. It can be seen in the video just before the 9-minute mark, on North Street.
Since 1858 Keighley has been home to Timothy Taylor Brewery, a family-owned beer producer. It is the last independent brewer of its type left in West Yorkshire today.

Hey, thanks for watching!
OK let's do it right this time!! The place where I was born and brought up. Love Keighley and the people. I try to visit at least once a year but with Covid, haven't made it for a bit. I gotta get up there this year and pester the publicans of Keighley for a while!
when did the Cavendish pub closed down did they remove the craves to extend the pathway at Church Green
Where's the Jobcentre gone that was that used to be by the market
Is the Jobcentre still the jobcentre or has it gone elsewhere. There use to be two one for looking for work and the other for cashing your giro?
At 00:41 my favourite pub, The Red Pig
Where cash generators is that was a book shop for years, had books signage on the outside.
My mum called the war memorial "old mans park" i dont know if that was just my mums calling it that or that was its proper name?.
Keighley in Yorkshire in England in the UK.
It looks nice. Is it a nice place to live ?
Nothing wrong with parkwood flats there ok plus have been done up since i lived there when i worked at mcdonalds on cavendish street. Was best of both worlds best community from both :). Both were amazing and no bother.
Keighley I live there
If you hit the space bar and pause it the street location will appear in the lower left of the screen. BTW the pronunciation is NOT KeiTH-lee, the GH is a guttural sound, as all English words with those letters in them were originally pronounced.
I live here near town up long lee lane
What was your honest opinion of Keighley?
It's not somewhere I'd recommend for a holiday or day trip, but the surrounding landscape is stunning and the locals seem friendly.
@@4KExplorer we’re would you recommend for a holiday and a day trip?
@@shidy121 Difficult question since it depends on your own personal interests, but within reasonable distance of this area you can't go far wrong with York. Or if you're into nature, the Lake District.
Cool place
I've recorded the street art on the cavendish.
The tup. I
Its not even HD lol
What do you mean? It goes up to 2160p.

@@megazenn22 Definition's about pixels, nothing to do with frames per second.
@@4KExplorer what are frames made of? Pixels. 🤯🤯🤯
@@megazenn22 Exactly, of which there are about 4000 across, hence 4K. Thanks for proving my point.
