Keighley and Stockbridge 

Keighley (pronounced Keith-ley) lies below the canal, it is about a miles walk from Keighley Station to the canal at Stockbridge. There was a proposal for a branch of the canal to decend to Keighley but it proved to be too expensive to build. Keighley still has the remains of a once thriving textile and weaving industry. Bill Bryson recommends Keighley as a target practice for the British Army. Actress Molly Sugden was born in Keighley.
