- Some views of Keighley West Yorkshire From The 1960s (see how few cars There were around then)
Keighley (pronounced "Keith-ley"), an industrial town in West Yorkshire's Aire Valley, just north of Bingley and the city of Bradford.
Amazing what a beautiful streets and colourful of that true love seeing thank photos cheers you up it was all simple straight love of them colourful days
Excellent video of this town way back when. very well done, really enjoyed it thanks best regards.
Brilliant video. I remember the Macfisheries as a nipper.....the sight of the dead fish in the window and the smell used to upset delicate little me! And that statue of Rombold has moved more times than I have. My dad worked on building the 'new' market and, even though I've not lived in Keighley since the early 80's, I still like to walk through and reminisce.
Remebr it all well, especially Low Street and the building of Morrisions! Making Low Street pedestrianised and building Morrisions helped Keighleys grid lock develop so much quicker.
As always planners got it wrong and still do this day.
Keighley was so nice back then. My mum worked at Radio Rentals
i was in Keighley just yesterday and i was surprised to see one old business still going ! it was the traditional work ware shop called speaks! its been there since 1884!!! wow 😍😍😍
thanks for the memories
Im old enough to remember some of these. Its sad to see what keighley has become these days
It really is because now underneath the Car Park building there is a lot of alkies and its just terrible what keighley has become
Wow, that brings back a lot of memories
I was born in Keighley in 68. Both my parents were born and raised in Keighley but in 74 we emigrated to New Zealand. My mother left school and worked in Mariners for a short time. My dad left school and attended teh polytechnic in Keighley and later opened a garage. My aunt had a hair dressing business in the Tuner and Wall arcade for some time. As I was so young I don't remember an awful lot about Keighley but I remember visiting my Gran who live at Sunny Dale View - now known as Thwaites Brow Road I believe. We used to live in Moor View Grove. I remember going to the Keighley fair. I remember the Bake and Take bakery on Cavendish street I remember the town shopping centre not being covered up because I got lost there when once out with my grandparents shopping, and remember the multi story car pack that always stank of pee! I remember leaving Keighley for New Zealand and arriving in Auckland was a culture shock after Keighley. I've been back to Keighley many times over the years as I still have relations there (I moved back to the UK in 93 and now live in London). I have vague ,and few but fond memories of Keighley but can't say I would like to live there now. Forgive errors - dodgy keyboard.
I Look out of my window & see the Hillside OVERVIEW of Keighley, Looking towards Long Lee & Haworth Just exactly as you see the view of Grange & the River aire.
I think they took that picture from my Window.
Stockbridge,Victoria park, the old Magnet factory.
The fore ground is Scott Lane Riddlesden. View taken from Slade Lane / Banks Lane. It is MY EXACT VIEW = SPOOKY to see my view from almost 60 yrs ago .
I wish i could post a photo of that same view now in 2019. to Compare. at 00:37 secs & later the same view.
OMG the multistory that smelt of pee...... yes lol
Radio rentals and wigfalls those were the days!
Fab video. Thanks for sharing.
great photos, are they private collection or public archive? Would like to see more! 70s and 80s too.
Looks classy to what Keighley is now. This was before the influx.
Calm down guys, Steely Davey is actually referring to the “influx” of capitalist, market fundamentalist policies which now dominate the world and have made manufacturing towns like Keighley all over the UK the economically depressed places they are today.
@@IbnShahid
Since WHEN was Keighley Depressed ? It's Booming, Only strangled by the Road network & Left wingers in Councils etc.
Keighley is “booming”?? Are you serious? Have you visited the town centre recently?
@@IbnShahid Yes It's full of Factories & Industry. There is a Big Shortage of Industrial Premisses . very little for sale or to let.
Businesses & Commercial Buildings Create Jobs.
@Luke Mills ahahaha
I used to work at Wilson’s cafe and confectioners as a Saturday job and then full time in between leaving school and starting my nurse training in Leeds.
Anyone remember The Speakeasy club above Mr Snips opposite the car park?
Hi, this is very short notice. But please could i use some of this footage for a documentary i am making about why people came to keighley that is being shown on saturday. You will be fully credited obviously. You would be saving my life!
Is there any chance you could add annotations for what streets they are?
Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
Is there any more to come?
The good ol days and no pavement parking
Hi tonfir,
Who Filmed this & What Year was it ? One of those Views Looks Like it was taken From my Bedroom Window. the SPOOKY thing is, I don't think the house was built at the time of filming.
A great town before it became a run down dump.
Hi Tonfir are you the author of this brilliant slide show? We’d like permission to show it during an arts tour event in Keighley, if you can allow us?
